Description:
A tribute both to the famous detective and his native land, this British-styled pub is just what you'd expect. Dark woodwork, stuccoed walls, and all the paraphernalia that gives a pub its life are on display here. You'll find Irish and British beers on tap, along with a good selection of Canadian brews and some international labels. The food extends beyond pub fare, so you can get steak and kidney pie or bangers and mash, or you can also opt for pastas, burgers, pizzas, and other dishes with a more global flavor. An amiable spirit runs through the place and its outdoor patio, which is a great place to sit during warm weather. Depending on which Holmes you're in (there are four in town), you'll also find live music, darts, pool, karaoke and group sing-a-longs. |

Ceili's Irish Pub & Restaurant |

Description:
The name of this place (pronounced "kay-lee") refers to a gathering of people who've come together to play music, drink and dance. The pub couldn't be more appropriately named. When you come in, the bar faces you immediately, advertising the reason for the festivities. You can order up a Guinness or an Irish whiskey and keep with the Celtic theme. Live musicians play five nights a week, usually jazz and blues. If you're not around for the music, an exterior terrace lets you enjoy the outdoors while you nurse a drink. The Irish food is also terrific, and you can munch a boxty or fish and chips while you watch the game on TV. |

Description:
A traditional decor of stained glass, dark wood, and memorabilia envelops diners at this Irish pub. The bar occupies a place of prominence in the center of the area, and a stone inscribed with runic symbols pays homage to the pub's name. The authenticity extends to the alcohol as well; you'll find 18 draft beers, 30 malt beers, and a wide array of Irish whiskeys. If you get hungry, hearty pub food is eminently satisfying. Among the offerings are a rich Irish stew and the classic boxty, a delicious potato pancake stuffed with meats, vegetables, and sauce. Given the day you're there, you'll find live music performances, DJs playing favorite tunes, and patrons getting down on the small dance floor. |

Description:
This Edmonton institution is managed by the Edmonton Jazz Society, who handles all the arrangements through the aid of volunteers. Serious jazz is the impetus for the club, and the performers who are booked are only the best. Each weekend, a new musician is featured, and on Tuesdays, jam sessions are held. You'll find performers of local, national and international fame, and they include vocalists, pianists, bands and all other permutations in between. If you're a jazz aficionado or if you simply want to increase your understanding (and love) of jazz, see who's playing when you're in town. One of the area's best. |

Description:
For true Albertan ambience, this establishment is superb. Housed in a renovated Canadian Pacific Railroad station, the Iron Horse pays homage to the steam engines that helped make the west the vibrant region that it is today. Inside, the place retains much of its architectural detail, creating a terrific backdrop for an evening of fun and festivity. Food is served, including steak and pizza, and beer is a significant draw as well. Friends and colleagues gather to chat, to drink, and to enjoy the city's allure from the large outdoor patio, which affords great views of the historic district. From time to time, DJs and live musicians make use of their craft for the patrons. |

Description:
A favorite venue for blues performers, this casual place has seen its share of beer and cigarettes. Patrons clamor to find a vantage point when the musicians perform, especially on Saturday afternoons, when the jam sessions take place. No matter what type of blues you like, it's almost certain that you'll run into your favorite when the stage heats up. Amateurs and professionals both practice their art here, and you'll find everyone from college students to business types gathered in the space. It's obvious by their rapport that good blues music can erase all barriers with its plaintive strains. |

Description:
This establishment toes the line between being an alternative venue and a traditional pub. You'll find it a great equalizer, welcoming suits and skateboards with equivalent gusto. The three-levels encompass the main floor with its bar, as well as a lower room that is more secluded and a "Wooftop Patio," where patrons can sit in the open air and look out across the traffic (foot and cars) of Whyte Avenue. Although the place gets crowded, regulars love it all the same. One of the biggest draws is the Saturday afternoon event called "Hair of the Dog," where vocalists and musicians play for the spectators. Wednesdays are alternative country, and throughout the week, you'll find other performers, along with DJ-spun tunes. Laid-back and relaxed. |

Description:
This fashionable gathering spot attracts lots of young, hip professionals. The ambience is dark and intimate, and the place isn't large, so you'll have to arrive early, especially if you want to sit overlooking Whyte Avenue. No matter where you ultimately land, you'll appreciate the terrific bar food, which goes beyond typical fare. It makes a tasty accompaniment to the drinks, which include a good selection of martinis and more than 80 cocktails. Live musicians play light music that adds a relaxing background detail. If the crowds get to you inside, tables out front and a patio in the rear facilitate a temporary escape. |

Description:
For years, this popular club has been applauded by the Canadian Country Music Association as one of the nation's best C&W clubs. A wide range of well-known performers frequent its stage, drawing crowds of music-lovers from Edmonton and all around. The ambience is relaxed, so patrons are allowed to kick back, have a beer, and hang out with friends. On the other hand, if you want to dance, there's plenty of room to kick up your heels and put those boots to work. Almost any activity is welcomed, and you can watch TV or play pool if the spirit doesn't move you to dance. If you've got western wear, throw it on. If not, jeans are fine. |
