This darkly lit Asian-inspired cocktail bar feels less like Edmonton and more like an elevated street food spot in another country or a big city pop-up.
The trendy bar is decorated with hanging lights, tropical wallpapers, and plant life that make you feel like your short drive to downtown Edmonton was really somewhere far away.
The cocktails come in all different forms, and the menu here has many different variations of tiki drinks with an Asian influence. Go for theĀ Baijiu Barbie made with coconut tequila, bailie, pineapple, and lemon.
