CRAFT Beer Market Edmonton

It was a neat atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive. Everyone's meals were good but my steak meal was cold and they forgot the shrimp. When the shrimp showed up, I returned them. They were cold, flavorless, and grilled less. It took a long time for the meals to come out this maybe because it was super busy due to the Dave Chappelle show.

Came here for a pregame beer, and it’s got a very lively atmosphere. Their happy hour beers are decently priced and they also have a few snacks available. They have a large variety of beers available which is always fun to try when you’re in a different city. Overall, a fun spot to be with friends and grabbing a beer.

Service is slow But understandable as it is a busy place.. You have to wait a while between orders. Drinks are good. Food does not match the level expected from a big place . Ordered Ramen bowl and they were out of Ramen. Then order Korean fried chicken that comes with rice and rice were very chewy and dry. When asked rice were replaced. Vibe is great to spend time with colleagues/friends or parties. But they can do better!

Ayyyy what a great place!!! My good friend and I went here for dinner the other day and oh my gosh - such a great spot to have delicious quality drinks, shareables and meals. We were unfortunately full by the time dessert came around but we shall try that next time. This place is set up so beautifully and has such a refreshing, calm vibe! The kind workers exceed satisfaction of effort - outstanding staff there that make you feel welcome and comfortable! Highly recommend this absolutely wonderful place to dine and chill!

Food was great. Server so kind. I sat at the bar with my co worker today to watch the Canada vs USA Olympic hockey game. We came to the pub thinking we could watch the game with sound. I asked if the game sound could be turned on and was told they aren’t allowed. Drink was amazing food was yummy and prices were reasonable but will see if Sherlock next door turns on the sound for the next game.

A Five-Star Experience Thanks to Michaela & manager, Juliet! My recent visit to the Craft Beer Market was outstanding, and it cemented this spot as a top-tier destination for beer lovers and casual diners alike. While the selection of taps is always impressive—offering variety that caters to every possible taste—it was the exceptional service that truly elevated the evening. The atmosphere is vibrant, busy, and perfectly suited for enjoying a few unique brews. But the heart of the experience was the attention and expertise provided by our servers, Michaela and Juliet. Michaela was incredibly knowledgeable about the extensive menu. She took the time to understand what styles we usually enjoy and offered spot-on recommendations for new beers that we absolutely loved. She was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that we were enjoying our food. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of a great product and amazing staff, but Michaela and Juliet prove it’s possible. They truly made the difference between a good night out and a great one. We highly recommend visiting the Craft Beer Market and making sure you get seated in their section! We'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend the strawberry yuzu pisco sour.

Craft Beer Market is a fantastic modern taphouse with a great vibe and lively atmosphere. The space is spacious and welcoming, making it ideal for both groups and casual nights out. They have an outstanding selection of beers on tap along with a well-crafted cocktail menu, and the food was equally impressive fresh, flavorful, and a perfect match for the drinks. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy good food and drinks in a fun, relaxed setting. Highly recommended!

Came here for lunch for the first time ever. They had a really nice happy hour menu and really good drink menu. We had a little bit of everything. Everything was tasty and delicious. We ordered wings, Korean ribs, a bunch of sushi appetizers and truffle fries and some beers. Our waiter was great as well. I highly recommend this place if you're downtown and looking for a place to have a beer and some food and possibly watch a game! Only thing is parking can be tough because it's downtown and it's expected. We parked at the library underground and it was really cheap. Did you have street parking but it's usually taken because that's a very busy area..

Excellent selection of craft beers and solid menu of pub grub. Grilled chicken sandwich was very tasty. Service courteous if a little slow.

Me and my wife wanted to try a new restaurant and I wanted to try some beer and then magically we found craft which is a great place for dates or just to get together. Me and my wife had the parmesan truffle fries and she had a burger and I had a pasta that I both forgot the name of, but the service was amazing for a late night dinner it was about 9-10 pm and the service was still amazing but we did found out that ginger beer is nasty

Seated us quickly and Jordan provided great service. We are traveling and craved veggies and not fried protein. Got the poke bowl and seared tuna salad. They were both a little spicy and delicious. Only downside is the seared tuna had some crunchy bits that were like chewing on pebbles. Luckily my teeth are intact. It made me laugh that you can pay by QR code on the bill but the waitress didn't know that. We all can learn something new!

Legacy Post from 2019 Craft Beer Market is a decent place to visit in downtown Edmonton, especially during their happy hour. I'd give them 7.5/10 based on my past experiences here.

Food was crappy. Service was indifferent. I ordered the most expensive menu item steak - totally terrible. Steak was tiny. Stringy. The smashed potatoes were flavourless. No one asked us how it was. Crap. The whole thing was crap. The only thing that was good was the kale salad that came with it. The bread was okay too. Not sure what else to say about this place but to avoid it if you want a quality of food. For 32 bucks I should have a tiny stringy piece of steak that I have to chew and chew and chew. Won't be back

A group of five of us came in for a between meeting beer. It was 4:30pm on a Friday and was already busy. We sat inside because it was a 45 minute wait for the patio. We stayed for two drinks and the service was great. A little disappointed that my first two cider choices were out of stock but I managed to survive. A great meeting spot with a very large selection of craft beers. https://www.craftbeermarket.ca/menu/#drink

3.5 - This place was on a recommended list for things to do in Edmonton so we tried out for lunch. We got a flight (6 samples) of local beers and shared some apps. Food was good, beer was fine. Was it the best food I've ever had? No but it was satisfactory. Here's the negative: the bathrooms are downstairs. There isn't an elevator nor another bathroom upstairs (that I saw). Anyone with a disability could have trouble going down the stairs to the bathroom and that isn't ok. If I'm mistaken, I apologize.

Came here for a Sunday brunch as I have a downtown dining pass through Explore Edmonton which had a 2 4 1 brunch coupon. They got plenty of beer selections that's for sure and the decor is super comfy. Service is excellent! We got the Benny Bowl. It was not bad. Could have used more hollandaise though. I think it's a take on a poutine so more sauce here would be warranted.

I heard The West Edmonton mall was the destination place to go here, can Craft Beer Market be added to that list? Huge, beautiful, Trendy place with tons of draft beer and friendly staff. The food was good, recognizable and tasty. The server was also honest about what NOT to get.

Staff are always friendly; Curtis, Elijah and Reeve make you feel right at home. Food is great quality, drinks are made well. Music is upbeat and loungey, at a volume that isn't overbearing so you can still have a conversation. Industrial design of the mechanical components are really cool and add a lot of character. Definitely check this place out!

Awesome food and great night at the Brewmaster's Dinner: Beer VS. Wine Edition. A great time was had by all.

My husband and I came here for our last date night before the lockdown and we came because of the Miracle event. Miracle is a pop-up Christmas theme event. The cocktails were good, the ambiance was amazing, the music was spot on, the lights were sparking, and the Christmas was flowing! I absolutely loved this as I am a Christmas fanatic lol The food was regular pub food but the cauliflower was AMAZING. And the beer and beer salt fries were delicious.

You Just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy There must be fifty ways To leave your lover Paul Simon had a very catchy song about the 50 ways to leave your lover. Well Edmonton's CRAFT Beer Market does that song one better by describing the 100 ways you can leave your thirst behind at their gigantic bar/restaurant. You see, they have 100 beers on tap! They bill themselves as "Canada's Largest Selection of Draft Beer" and who can argue with that? Their beer list is meticulously divided into genres of beer - Ales, Pub Cream Ales, Scottish Ales, Saisons, Blonde & Kölsch Ales, Amber & Red Ales, Black & Brown Ales, Pale Ales, India Ales, Strong Ales / Trappist, Stouts & Porters, Light Lagers, Pale Lagers, Pilsners, Session Ales, Gluten-Free, Fruit & Specialties, Sour Ales & Lambics, Ciders, and over a dozen rotating locals. They have super sweet Hoppy Hours (Monday to Friday from 3-6pm, Sunday to Thursday 9pm - close, and all say Sunday) with bargains like $4 Local Drafts, $4 House Wines, $4 Highballs, $3 Beer Fries, $3 Fish Tacos and $3 Brisket Sliders. I had one of those Hoppy Hour Specials and for $4 it was a helluva buy - a Wood Buffalo Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale described as a "landmark beer for the new country frontier. This is a drinkable golden ale with local blueberries and hints of vanilla, the perfect beer for a new generation of drinkers". At 4.5% ABV, it was pretty sneaky, but two of them did the trick. For dinner, we both chose from the bowl portion of the menu - a $16.50 House Made Bolognese "Naturally raised beef and pork simmered with tomatoes and herbs served on a bed of garganelli pasta finished with Grana Padano" and a $19.00 Ahi Poke Bowl - "sashimi grade ahi tuna with cucumber, pickled carrots, avocado chunks, seaweed, fresh ginger and togarashi aioli all stacked on top of steamed rice and sesame seeds". My Ahi was delicious- a generous portion of sashimi with fresh vegetables and rice. One of the reasons we enjoyed our meal so much was our delightful server Lindsay, who was an informative wealth of knowledge about the beer list, the Happy Hour details, and the dessert options. She was downright evangelical in her praises for the Butterscotch Budino (Rich creamy Italian style pudding topped with crispy rice wafers and shaved chocolate for $9} that we had to try it. Lindsay was right on the money, the dish was so delicious and the rice wafers dipped in the pudding could have been a controlled substance. Combining the beer choices, the nice Happy Hour, the large food menu, and great service from Lindsay, made this a wonderfully enjoyable dinner.

The burgers were burnt. Beer is good. I do believe that you should serve food as well as you serve beer

My brother and I decided to check this place out because we were looking for a roof top patio to enjoy a few drinks and lunch at. We initially were put on the wait list for the patio but it didn't take long for our table to become available. While we were waiting in our temporary spot, we ordered from their rotating tap beer menu and it took around 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. We got notified that our table on the patio was ready 5 minutes after ordering our drinks, but we waited for another 10 minutes for our server to come back with our tap beers so we could pay for / take them up to the patio. Our server was polite and they were honest about what they have or haven't tried but did offer recommendations! After that, the experience was seamless. Our patio server was laidback even though they were busy, They were always on it! The patio bar set up was so cute. We ordered the Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl and shared an order of Beer Salt & Pepper Wings. The ahi tuna was fresh and light, but could have done with a bit more garnishing of sauces. The wings were served hot and so juicy. Will definitely be coming back here. I hear the brunch menu is great too!

Service was good and food was fantastic. However music was very loud even in the afternoon, making conversation very difficult. Seating was very uncomfortable, especially for short people.

A great place to watch a game or to have a meal. We dropped by Sunday afternoon for a bite and was seated at a table near the bar for lunch. The service was prompt and our waitress was very nice, checking in periodically to make sure we had everything. I shared a Mediterranean salad and the Baja tacos (FYI the baja taco appetizer and main is the same except that the main comes with a side) with a local flight of beer to wash it all down.They were nice enough to split the salad onto two plates for us, even without us asking! The salad was filling and hearty, but I noticed that there was only one piece of roasted cauliflower on each plate.... which was sad because I was looking forward to it. I liked the spice blend on the fish for the tacos, which made the otherwise simple taco more interesting. If you are visiting, I would recommend the local beer flight! A simple way to try out some of the local brews.

Service: Appalling. Sat at the bar late on a Friday but there were 4 behind the bar, none of which could be bothered to help for anything after the initial drink order. Much more concerned with each other and the ticket machine. Food: Good. As you'd expect from a new style gastro pub. Prosciutto and chicken flatbreads hit the spot. After more than 10 mins of the bar staff missing/ignoring our gestures or simply not bothering to come to our side of the bar, ordered from restaurant staff. Summary: Food met expectations. Good beer selection. Bar staff that can't be bothered with customers.

Went here for happy hour. We were able to dit on the rooftop as it was a gorgeous day. House white and beer on tap was good. Added a chicken sandwich /fries and we were pleased. Good energy with music and ping pong table too. Service was great.

Came here for a special event at the end of February - the vegan dinner & beer pairing, which they've hosted for a couple of years in a row now. It's a 4-course meal with a beer pairing for each course, tickets sold out pretty quickly so keep your eyes open for next year! There was a roast onion wedge with vegan pesto to nibble on before the meal, then onion soup with vegan bacon; braised mushroom on a lentil and farro fritter; curried squash and legumes; and a chocolate peanut butter pie to finish. Hadn't been here before and it's a nice place, very big and clean and modern, with lots of space. I imagine it must get pretty loud on busy evenings, but we had the whole upstairs room for the event and on a Tuesday it was a reasonable volume. I can't judge their normal food quality since this was a special event, and I'm not actually a vegan so I also can't judge well by vegan standards, but the food was pretty tasty. The soup was a bit over-salted and the stew was a bit bland, but the mushroom and fritter was delicious and the balance of different vegetables in all the dishes was well chosen. The "chocolate peanut butter pie" was a bit of a mystery, since it was not a pie at all, but more like a small bowl with chocolate cookie crumbles in the bottom and a peanut butter sauce on top... in fact, there was nothing pie-like about it. It was still pretty tasty, but maybe call it a crumble or something like that? Anyway, I wasn't totally blown away but I also know vegan cooking's quite challenging and I'd still come back sometime to try their regular menu, which I imagine would be even better.

We came here for beers and supper and because they have a roof top patio. For apitizers we has fried pickles, hot cauliflower bites and Molly had the 3 little tacos. The cauliflower was one of the most elaborate versions of the dish with a coating and a spicy sauce. Pickles and tacos were also good. For supper, I had 3 street tacos, beef type. Ken had a burger and Molly had a big bowl of something. They reported their stuff was good. My tacos were great. I ordered a kale ceaser to go with it. It tasted OK, but apparently I don't like the texture of kale. To drink, we had some pints of the light lager made for the bar (forget what they called it). It was light and refreshing and went down well on a hot day on the roof.

Wow, Craft Beer Market kills it everytime!!! I brought my dad in to check the place out this afternoon after the Oilers game. When we walked in, there was a 20-30 minute wait. That's okay, we just took a spot at the bar instead. Oh where to start, there are so many options on tap! I believe there are about 100 or so to choose from (my go to is always the Peach Cider). It took a little while for the bartender to come back around and take our food order, but after we did order we had our meal in under 5 minutes - we just couldn't believe it! I can't wait until my next visit (hopefully sooner rather than later), and needless to say my dad loved it here too.

We were fan enough to visit the Craft Beer House 3 separate times(!) during our short 5-day visit to Edmonton. So yeah, we went here a lot! Food is decent and good for the most part. Nothing that will blow you out of the water-- portions are more filling than initially thought. Fries tend to be a little salty. The nachos will stir up a scene because it's served on a beer keg top (no other way to describe this) but it's also a little on the thin side with cheese-- same goes for the poutine. Reasons to go: 1) convenience and reliability to handle bigger groups 2) great decor and ambiance 3) rooftop brunch yoga

Since my original visit this place deserves a few more stars! Having been here at least a half dozen times since my original visit, I'm going to re-review! I've yet to have another less than savoury experience. Though most of my other visits have been me sitting at the bar, which I find is the best way to get quick service! I will continue to enjoy Craft and is 100 beers!

An unexpected change of plans ended up being awesome. Yay for businesses who are open on a holiday Monday! Boo for downtown construction making it really tough to get around. Like I said, we had plans to try a different restaurant (who's social media account & website stated they were open) only to find out they were closed. Their loss, because the Craft Beer Market is going to be a new favourite for us! From the moment you walk in you get that warm and welcoming vibe. The layout is very open, but there's some huge, cozy booths available that give a bit more privacy. We were seated immediately and began the arduous task of choosing a delicious beverage. Since I like to drink and hubby needs to drive we shared a 6 pack sampler (local I believe). There wasn't a beer on that paddle that I didn't like. Mmmm, I love the smell of hops in the morning...err afternoon. Hubby ordered deep fried pickles and cheddar jalapeño soup. Both items were hot, fresh & tasty. No complaints from him. I had the Yucatan Chicken salad with prawns instead of chicken. It was delicious, and not over-dressed with lots of tasty ingredients. The black beans in the salad were slightly tough/dry, but I ate them anyway. Our waitress was great, attentive but not imposing. After we paid the bill and got up to leave, I was pleasantly surprised that every single staff member we walked by said goodbye/see you again to us. Nice!!! I really appreciated that this business is doing good things like their Community Brew and using green energy. Bravo! We will be back!!! And we're bringing friends/family next time.

Came to CRAFT Beer Market last night for the first time for their soft opening. The staff were friendly and while numerous mistakes made, it's expected and the place was jam packed to capacity. What I liked: Several levels including a patio roof top if you feel like going up a dozen flights of stairs ;-) The second level bar/lounge area had lots of comfortable seating and even booths that overlook the main floor. That atmosphere was perfect for a downtown place to grab a few drinks and have some awesome local food, too! Open, airy, modern but still loads of brick and wood beams. Definitely my kind of place :-) A fish taco station was set up and I must say that the house made CRAFT hot sauce was spot on! I think the slaw/fish could use a little more seasoning. My favourite was the Ahi Poke Tuna! The sashimi grade tuna was complimented perfectly by the house made ginger soy vinegarette - YUMMY! Served up with a side of crispy wontons - delish! We will definitely be repeating this appetizer. The house jalapeno cheddar ale soup was delish! Refresh cocktail - simple syrup, cucumber, Hmmm... I wish I could remember the rest! It was exactly as described - Refreshing. Their hours: Mon 11:00 am - 1:00 am Tue 11:00 am - 1:00 am Wed 11:00 am - 2:00 am Thu 11:00 am - 2:00 am Fri 11:00 am - 2:00 am Sat 10:00 am - 2:00 am Sun 10:00 am - 12:00 am Yes, please! We definitely need some more late night downtown Edmonton options :-) Their website indicates they offer a Beer Club where you get a card stamped when you try different beers. They offer daily specials for both eats and drinks! What I didn't like so much: Our table also ordered the barrel of nachos - overpriced with not a whole lot of toppings. I think there was more empty spaces on the chips than not :-( The house "Canadian" maple & bacon wings (recommended by our server) really lacked in flavor. I know! Hey, how is that possible? I don't know but all 4 of us were not impressed. The house martini - pineapple and pear oddly enough didn't taste very much like fruit to my date and myself. Same goes for the Big Kid Lemonade - I wouldn't have guessed that it had lemonade in it at all! Diablo Ceasor - While it comes with skewered peppers and a green olive, that's where the kick stopped. With a name like Diablo, I was looking for some heat. And I know this totally isn't fair, but I'm not a beer drinker. I imagine if you like beer, this is gonna be your place! They offer dozens upon dozens of craft beers and specialty drinks like beer cocktails and beer floats! That's right! I said floats :-) Overall, it was a successful night with numerous bites and drinks I'll be stopping by again to try in no time! They have a GREAT website, take reservations, and even offer family friendly brunch on the weekend! It was quite loud when we were there and noise does seem to carry but then again there wasn't a seat left in the house. http://edmonton.craftbeermarket.ca/

Let's start with service: bored waitress, tripped over my chair spilling my drink on a table. Instead of cleaning the mess she just walked off. The guy next to me offered his napkin since no one cared that I sat with my glass in the air at wet table. At some point one of the waitress brought napkins and just left them for me to clean up! Ok... I ordered Hawaiian poke with additional avocado total $18 it came out as chopped cucumber, tuna and some avocado bland to the point that I had to ask for soya sauce that came after 15 min. Mind you, it was 2pm on Tuesday so the place was dead. Nothing one can do but laugh.

I don't spend a lot of time downtown during the week anymore... but I was at a conference for a couple of days this week that -GASP- didn't serve lunch!! So... off to Rice Howard Way I went and there was Craft. I have been there once before since it opened and was relatively pleased with it. I walked in aroun 11:50 and the lunch crowd was already lining up. When I told the hostess that I was dinning alone, she asked if I would like to sit at the bar... I initially said no... then realized that would at least give me bartenders to watch while I sit there by my lonesome. I sat at the bar for close to 10 minutes before I was acknowledge... which was very irritating. And then I was really put off when the bartender (Justin) told me that they were very short staffed and he apologized in advance if i receive poor service while I'm there. Boy... that sure gave me a lot to look forward to! But actually, it turned out great. I don't know if they took pity on me for being there alone or what, but the 3 bartenders (one of whom was extremely new) were all very attentive. Justin was sure to use my name every time he asked me how everything was, and I really liked that. The bartenders were the stars of the show... but let's not forget about the food! I had the Gaucho Chicken Flatbread... which is the same thing I had last time. I just love it! the flatbread is always cooked perfectly so you can actually pick it up, and it's got quite a little kick. I'll be back!! and I can't wait for their rooftop patio to open!

Glad we made reservations on a weekday for lunch as we arrived at 11:45 and there was a long stream of people behind us. They even called the day before to confirm our reservation. They were going to seat us in the restaurant but we wanted to enjoy the sunshine on the roof top patio so it was good there was still room. here's a few flights of stairs but it was worth it to be outside. We choose a table that wasn't directly in the sun. There were 3 of us and our colleague was running late and we waited about half an hour for him. The server was great to get us our drinks and let us take our time until our colleague joined us. I'm not a beer drinker but the others were and they both enjoyed the beers from what seemed like a large selection. Once our colleague arrived, we placed our order. Being a fan of seafood, I decided to try the crab cake sliders for $12 while the others had burgers and a kale salad. The food didn't take too long to arrive which was great as we didn't have much time to eat. The 3 sliders were small and didn't come with a side but still were satisfying at it wasn't deep fried and terribly greasy. My colleagues enjoyed their meals. The burgers looked very big and came with lots of fries. Wished we cold spend the whole afternoon on the roof top patio and enjoy the weather but we all had to head back to the office. Would definitely be back to try something else off the menu and eat on the patio!

CRAFT was phenomenal for our wedding rehearsal dinner, despite my massive mess-up. Out of habit of putting my June 17 wedding date on things, that's what I ended up accidentally booking our rehearsal dinner for (meant to be June 16). Despite my mix up with dates, the CRAFT staff accommodated our group of 30ish and we all had a fantastic time!!! Everyone in our group raved about the food, drinks and the service. Kristin was wonderful to work with leading up to the event and helped make it all happen the day off, even in a pinch!! So grateful for the experience we had at CRAFT and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to bring out a group.

If you're a big beer fan then this might be an interesting place for you. They have over 100 different selections and you can see where all the beer is being made. I've been here 4 times and all in all it was decent. Nothing stood out as particularly amazing but nothing was bad either. It's not on the top of my dining list but it does the job. Service was good from what I recall. I think it's neat how they have 3 floors. I once came here for an event which was being held upstairs. Parking is very irritating in this area as it's surrounded by other businesses and is in the heart of downtown.

Over 100 beers on tap is definitely what made me come here! They have great specials, I came on a wednesday where Alberta craft beers were only $5 a pint! That's what I call a deal! Wednesday are also wing night. Only $8. But I wouldn't recommend the wings especially for full price. I found them very small and was still hungry after 2 orders. I usually can't finish or get super full after 2 orders at other resturants. But their menu has tons of other options! My girlfriend got one of their burgers and it looked really good and she enjoyed it! Great place to try what Canada has to offer when it comes to craft beer!

Craft beer brew belly. I think it's a thing. I'm pretty sure I have one. What better place to nourish my beer baby than at CRAFT? After a double date dinner, at my request, my Canadian party took me out to CRAFT so that I could try some local brews. To maximize my tasting options, I ordered the Canadian flight. I was really surprised by some selections (namely a tea beer whose name I cannot recall), but loved them all. I also got to try Innis & Gunn, a favorite of my friend's that we cannot find locally in California, and it was delicious as well. CRAFT is not shy about displaying their kegs and variety, and it is amazing. The space is lofty and open, however it does get a bit noisy and difficult to hold conversation. I'd love to come back here to grab some more local brews and try out the food next time I'm in town. See you then, CRAFT!

The good: The poutine was a side to our sandwich, but it the gravy was as good as any poutine gravy I've had. Friendly bartenders glad to let us sample a couple beers and give us some advice from their large beer selection. The not so great: The chicken sandwich, though I'd guess was organically sourced, was so teeny, I wondered if we'd gotten the runt even from the organic litter. That not withstanding, great flavor on the sandwich as well. All said, great flavors, great beers.

I've been here many times and the staff never disappoint, Sarah the bartender took care of us and introduced us to many new beers. The happy hour deal is always great because the quality of the food is so good.

We met at craft for a 1PM lunch downtown Edmonton on a Thursday. A late lunch went smoooth!! The waitress made sure we got out of there right on time! The jalapeño Mac and cheese was delicious but the Korean BBQ bites were mouth watering!! Craft is also a great place for Friday after work drinks. Their rooftop patio is sweet AF in the summer time!! PLUS they have countless of beer on tap!! Caesars are perfectly garnished!

My partner and I came here after the X warrior run which fortunately was on my birthday! Free beer tickets so hells ya! I have never wanted to venture out in downtown for drinks because of parking but we were able to find parking in the parkade easily on a Saturday around noon time. We walked in and I love how big and spacious the place was. We got seated immediately and it was a nice roomy table for the 2 of us. The beer menu... Omg... What an extensive list of different beer on tap! I was so happy to find my favorite beer on tap, hoegaarden with the giant glass. My partner I think he ordered Keith, unfortunately he's not adventurous with beer unlike myself. I honestly wanted to try the different types but after a race I can't drink too much alcohol. Brunch was delicious of course. I highly recommend brunch. After this day I found my favorite pub and I've brought all my family and friends here and they absolutely love it too. Just the parking is a bit of a hassle but that wont stop me from coming here.

I went to meet a few girlfriends here at the weekend, for a few beers before an event at Churchill Square (just a few minutes walk away). I took the LRT downtown as there is never anywhere to park especially around this area. I had my daughter with me but I heard CRAFT were child friendly. Despite there being no highchairs, they are accommodating to children before 9pm. We were sat at a long booth with plenty of room for the five of us. I tried the Grizzly Paw ale which was light and very refreshing. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and the food came fast! Without much wait the pasta arrived and it looked as good as it tasted. The large pasta parcels covered in creamy sauce and topped with crispy squash chips (delicious by the way) and pumpkin seeds. It was very filling, luckily I was sharing with my wee pal :)

Ordered the chipotle cheddar burger with sweet potato fries. Burger meat and veggies were decent, however the bun lacked any flavor and tasted slightly stale. The sweet potato fries were fairly par for the course.

The rooftop patio is open at CBM! Tables have been spaced apart and there is hand sanitizer at every table. The staff wear masks and if you want to pay in cash they put on gloves. You can access their menu on their website so you don't have to touch one. Or they have single use menus. I had a Baja chicken salad which was huge and delicious. My husband had a burger which he said was over cooked. The main restaurant on the ground floor is large and airy with high ceilings and huge windows that open out onto the street patio. We mostly go here for the vibes/drinks, not as much the food.

I came here with my boyfriend for a bite to eat, we were STARVING. The host brought us to a booth and then dropped the menus down on table without saying anything. The waitress was really nice though, very professional and super pretty. I ordered the Mac and Cheese and bf ordered the Blue Cheese Burger. Like I said, I was super hungry and when my food came I was so disappointed. The noodles were very hard, for lack of a better word. They didn't seemed fully cooked and underneath the hot layer of melted cheese they were even borderline cold. The garlic bread had this odd taste, almost like a cleaning product. I'm not joking, like PineSol or Mr Clean. It was very gross. I really wanted to like this place because we live a block away but I have a bad taste in my mouth now - literally. :(

+.5 for service Came here for drinks with a group of people after a nice tour of Edmonton. I was immediately amazed with the design of this bar. There was a bit of a wait as we had a large group, but eventually we were settled. There was a plethora of selections for alcohol, including wine, beer and liquor. I had the big rock grasshopper wheat ale, as I tend to be attracted by malt flavours. Was definitely impressed with the taste! I'm not an expert when it comes to alcohol, but the server told me I made an excellent choice indeed. Service was excellent, and the restaurant did a great job accommodating our large group in such short notice. Coupled with great alcohol selection, I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends visiting Edmonton.

We hosted a staff going away party here and reserved the tables starting at 3pm. We were relocated a few hours later to a different table and many of the coworkers had left. They kept the gratuity from earlier in the night on the table. Additionally two platters of nachos with meat were ordered. I personally love nachos but the meat seemed to have dried out early on these. But the other food such as poutine all got good reviews. The array of alcoholic drinks is good but quite pricey. Overall, would not recommend for a work gathering as it is definitely too loud of an environment.

Mixed reviews for CRAFT - I'm a little surprised because in my experience CRAFT is consistently solid. The food is overpriced but excellent; I've never had a bad meal here, although once we had poutine that was dying of thirst for gravy. Great seating, attentive and friendly service, not overly loud ambience (compared with similar beer joints like 1st RND or Beer Revolution) good views of the TVs from just about anywhere in the house, and indisputably the best selection of draft beer in Edmonton. The beer is definitely priced for downtown, so choose a worthy beer, which I guess would be the point of so much goodness on tap. There's always something new to try - my goal is to make it to 100 different beers tried at CRAFT so I can have my name on a plaque on the keg of honour. There's even an app for that! I just need a lot more money, and more time...and while I'm dreaming more places in Edmonton that have Lagunitas on tap. Anyone else up for the 100 beer challenge?

I've had great experiences here and pretty terrible. It's so hit or miss depending on who your server is and who's in the kitchen that day. I've been here a total of 4 times and each time is completely different. I'm doing this review based on my last 2 experiences. 1) Went here with a large group of friends and the service was amazing, all the drinks came quickly, the food was spectacular, and good times were had. I would give that experience 5 stars. 2) We decided to sit at the bar as it was just the 2 of us. It took 10 minutes for someone to take our order, she then proceeded to forget about us. We got our beers 10 minutes later and she didn't say one word to us for the next hour. I eventually asked a different server for our bill as I couldn't get ours to stop us. This was a solid 1 star experience, I'm not in a hurry to go back. I'm splitting the difference and giving it 3 stars. I will probably end up going back and will do an updated review when I do.

This was suggested by multiple people, I am coming from Calgary when I first heard about this chain. So I was happy to see it was here in the city, a perfect place for hungry and thirsty younglings (yes 25 is still young!) There were 8 or so of us, we all ordered food and drink. I had a Guinness and a gin and tonic, and a butternut squash ravioli. The ravioli was really nice, in a creamy sauce with large ravioli pieces, suitable for a good meal. One of the guys in the group ordered a batch of nachos and unfortunately there was a load of salt on them. They didn't say anything till the end when they jokingly mentioned it, only then we saw the layer of salt on some of the chips they had left uneaten. It was pretty gross, not sure how that would happen unless one of the kitchen staff put extra on by accident, or the package was bad. Regardless we managed to get the nachos free for him, as it was totally unacceptable to have nachos in those conditions. So big thanks to the manager for understanding. The establishment itself was quite impressive! A huge building with lots of seating for small or big groups, there was also an upper floor area for more seating! The bar was in the middle, and had large pipes coming from it and across the low ceiling. I was pretty amazed, and it was nice to have a more open bar/grill compared to some that can be cramped and hard to move around in. Overall, its a typical bar and grill, a great selection of beers (over 100!), so you have options for all types of beer lovers (or haters, they have cocktails too).

Wsnrecommened by he crew working with this week and so I made the .7 mile walk and it was so worth the journey. Explored more of Edmonton, Alberta Canada on the way over Very large internal structure with a very large bar where 100 taps of golden beer goodness sits. Many local, national and International brews to wet tour whistle! My bartender/slash server was Natasha and she dis an excellent job of whetting your parched lips and empty stomach. She suggested the world tour beer flight over the local and it was amazing! She then helped me navigate the menu and suggested some healthy alternatives that in the end were extremely tasty and satisfying. Natasha gets 4.5 stars! As far as the entrees I Started with the Baja fish tacos with grilled sustainable fish rubbed with spices and then served fresh cabbage, pico de gallo and their signature hot sauce. He hot sauce needs to be bottled! It was a perfect balance and a light appetizer to start the meal with. I then inquired about the tuna poke but Natasha recommends the Korean satay lettuce wraps. She said to try them since how often do you get turkey on a menu! So I gave them a chance and again she nailed it! The tender moist turkey complimented by line gochujang sauce, butter leaf lettuce, sticky rice and marinated veggies was perfect! I would gladly order both again! All in all an excellent meal and great place to stop in for a pint meet some lovely people (Colin) and the staff is very well trained, attentive and personal! If you have not ever stopped in please do and sit at the bar!

I wanted to like this bar as I love beer but it's unfortunately a great place to drink beer but not a good bar. Overpriced by 20 to 30 percent (see photo of prices ) they have patio that is advertised as open (see pic) but it was actually closed. When we asked about it , they said it was because of rain. Nobody wants a patio in the rain , but here's a solution. When it's 3hrs after it's rained , and it's nice either open it up or take away the sign (again see pic) When we left they wanted 18% tip because my 2 friends had joined the table for a beer. "Now it's over 8 people... It's a mandatory 18%!" I felt like a huge jerk because my friends previously had only been a group of 6. Eek! That's not an enviable position. " sorry guys don't come you'll make us over 8" Ugh craft . I definitely wont be back Pros Great beer selection Great looking bar Cons Overpriced Hidden charges Will not separate bills .

Well ... during happy hour where pints are 5$ make this place appealing. Just don't have the capital city lager. It's probably one of the worst lagers I've ever had. Surprisingly bad for a city with great beer. Also, a lot of the beer on the menu is not what I would call craft. I can't help but think this every time I walk in. We headed up to the rooftop patio again. I'd have to say it's a nice patio. I still do not understand why the beer menu is so limited up there. I had the chicken grilled cheese with a spinach salad. It was ok, but I can't justify the $15 price tag for grilled cheese and mix of spinach. Especially since the grilled cheese was slightly hard. I think the atmosphere is nice although the acoustics can get really loud. However, it looks and feel like a fun place. And I have a sentimental reason for coming here for a pint. So yay for a tiny portion of the beer menu. So-so for food value. Yay for atmosphere.
