2 Edmonton spots make Canada's 50 Best Bars 2022 list
Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants just revealed its 2022 picks and now, the 50 Best Bars list has been released, too.
No Edmonton bars cracked the top 10 this year, but two bars made the list that you have to check out in 2022.
Clementine was the highest-ranked Edmonton bar on the list at #15. This is a seven-place jump from the previous awards, where the intimate and elegant cocktail bar on Jasper Avenue was ranked at #22.
The judges praised Clementine’s bartender’s work with “challenging bitter, botanical and smoky flavours.”

The food and drink scene in Edmonton continues to grow and flourish, with many fantastic bars, restaurants, and speakeasies to grab a cocktail. We can’t wait to see what makes the list next in 2023.
