Excellent service. Food was tremendous. Wine Bar had lots of offerings and if wine isn't what you desire, there are amazing cocktails to choose from. Looking forward to dining there again.

Not a huge menu but everything we tried was outstanding. The service was on point and the cocktail list is endless. Having lived in Vancouver for years we are always searching for a unique dining experience. This is the closest we’ve gotten from the YEG places in ambiance. Well done! And yes this is located in the alley in the old Lola’s martini bar. Right across from the old bus barns/Strathcona Farmers market. Add Boxer to your must try list!

The service was outstanding! I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too sweet, the server immediately offered to replace it, remedied perfectly! We ordered Bruschetta which was absolutely amazing! Cauliflower bites were the best we had ever tasted! The build your own charcuterie had wonderful options and we enjoyed them all, especially the strawberry honey compote! The ambiance and music were so pleasant and relaxing! Absolutely a wonderful experience for a leisurely dining option. If I could rate this restaurant on a scale of 10, I would give it a 15!

About the restaurant

We accept limited reservations during Ice District event days (games and concerts). If you are not able to secure a reservation on Open Table, we do have plenty of availability for walk-ins; we would encourage you to arrive a minimum of 2 hours prior to the event start time in order to avoid lengthy wait times.

We believe in providing a mix of essential food classics and contemporary staples to create the perfect Canadian menu to be enjoyed alongside our beer. We have taken on the responsibility of localizing the beer experience by making authentic, fresh craft products that establish a new, truly Canadian beer culture.

About the restaurant

Dare to be a little different and go against the grain with the latest Century Hospitality Group property. We’re a gathering place for family and friends to enjoy a variety of innovative food & drink. Life is full of rules. We’re a restaurant, we’re a lounge. We’re afterwork drinks on the way home, we’re brunch on the weekend with the family. We’re beers with the guys, we’re champs with the girls. We don’t need rules here! Just good times.

Our stylish room and casual inviting atmosphere will put you at ease while you taste, sip, and savour our creations. We want you to sit back and enjoy. No one’s going to raise an eyebrow if you order dessert first and sure, you can keep your hat on.

**If you can not make a reservation on OpenTable, contact us at (780) 752-7325

It was busy, and a little noisy for my preference but we expected that. They were out of several items but that didn’t really affect our choices, and the food was great—as usual! Their NACHOS are sooo good!

Amazing food! Brisket burger was flavourful and juicy, the side salad was actually my favourite! A light salad with fantastic flavour. Our server was great as well! My first time here but will definitely come more often after trying it once!
