Get your jerseys on, people. It’s playoff season!

When the Oilers play playoff hockey, the downtown area and the Ice District, filled with restaurants and bars, are packed with pre- and post-game hockey jerseys. The Edmonton Oilers have made it once again, and hopefully, the Ice District stays Oiler orange and blue well into the playoffs.

This time, however, we get that you might want to be watching it yourself. We’ve rounded up some of the best bars in Edmonton to watch a game during the playoffs, so without further ado, let’s get into it.

Canadian Icehouse

This elevated sports bar is right in the Ice District itself, meaning you can hear the roar of the playoff crowds right in the centre of Edmonton.

Here, you can also take a step inside The Ice Room. It’s the ultimate sub‑zero tasting experience, featuring premium vodka flights served in the coldest room in the city (-35°C and below).

For a warm, vibrant atmosphere, Campio is absolutely the place to be. You can watch the hockey game surrounded by a great community of people, right downtown or in its Ritchie location. However, if you’re looking to get the most out of the night, we’d suggest downtown’s location.

Greta is absolutely bustling with energy during playoff season, and it’s worth visiting for a game or two. And, if the Oilers aren’t doing as well as they oughta, you can always play a couple rounds of arcade games in the meantime.

Central Social Hall

Although the downtown location has closed its doors, we’d still recommend checking out their Ellerslie or St. Albert locations for a good time.

Plus, it has great wings, and what’s better than wings and a hockey game? Oh, yeah, some game-day deals that it has stacked up for every Oilers playoff game.

This is the go-to sports bar if you’re thinking of cheering for the Oilers. Not only does 1ST RND give away free tickets to those attending the bar during games, but it also has game-day specials to celebrate the occasion.

If you thought 1ST RND was a sports bar, you’ve never been to Kelly’s Pub.

Kelly’s is the place to be before, during, and after a game. It’s to the brim, bustling with energy, and you’ll be absolutely delighted to watch the game surrounded by devoted fans.
