The 5 Best Sports Bars in Edmonton to Cheer Loud and Drink Proud

1. 1ST RND (West Edmonton Mall)
Website: https://1strnd.ca/
Address: 1672 Bourbon Street, West Edmonton Mall, 8882 170 Street
Contact: +1 780-487-4600
Hours:
- Monday-Tuesday: 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM
- Wednesday-Thursday: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM
- Friday-Saturday: 11:00 AM – 12:00 AM
- Sunday: 10:30 AM – 10:00 PM
1ST RND has a custom-built draft system with over 75 beer brands, including exclusive Alberta brews. This makes them a great spot for die-hard Oilers fans looking to grab a proper pint before the game.
The food menu is just as appealing. And their kitchen crafts burgers using Alberta beef patties smashed to order.
Guests can also customise their meals with a choice of over 50 ingredients.
For larger groups watching an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight, the Tailgate Party Platter is a great choice. It comes with wings, sliders, a Bavarian pretzel, and Buffalo chicken dip.
One guest shared that they visited last month and found the crispy pickles so good that they disappeared before the puck even dropped.
However, the early closing time of 10:00 PM from Sunday to Tuesday can be a downside for fans watching late games.

Best sports bar in town
Best sports bar in town. Great beer selection, solid menu, great vibes, big screens and great service all around. From the hostesses, from the bussers to the servers. Well played 1st rnd. Cold ones and curly fries. Delish.
Shout out to Sal for doing a great job during a busy shift, took great care of us.

Sports bar style restaurant
We popped in here randomly on our visit to the Mall. Sarah, our server, was absolutely amazing. The food was dynamite, like, how can deep fried food not make you feel heavy after?!
The food was fresh, delicious. If you like Caesar salad – this is your new place!
They are very kind friendly as well, the volume was actually great considering it’s a sports bar style restaurant. Very impressed! The manager asked how our meals were, how the food was. It felt like classic service that seems to be missing from a lot of restaurants nowadays.

2. The Canadian Brewhouse (Edmonton Downtown)
Website: https://thecanadianbrewhouse.com/
Address: 10338 109 Street NW
Contact: +1 780-426-5555 | [email protected]
Hours:
- Monday-Thursday: 11:30 AM – 1:00 AM
- Friday: 11:30 AM – 2:00 AM
- Saturday: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM
- Sunday: 11:00 AM – 1:00 AM
Arguing over which game gets the main TV can quickly split a group of friends. The Canadian Brewhouse makes things easier with tabletop speakers, so NFL fans and other sports groups can follow different games without shouting over nearby tables.
They also host viewing events for hockey, football, and UFC pay-per-views.
After enjoying a tasting flight at one of the local breweries, you can settle in here for more sports and drinks.
Their downtown location also offers free parking and a dog-friendly patio. Plus, they stay open until 2:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.
However, families should plan ahead because minors are only allowed for the last seating until 8:00 PM. This can make late-evening games harder to enjoy with kids.

When the Canadians scored the atmosphere was electric
Went for a team event during the Canada/South Africa Soccer match. Food was great, service was great and when the Canadians scored the atmosphere was electric. I would recommend this place even if a sporting event isn’t on and definitely with sports teams.

Big sports fan too especially her Ravens so it was easy to have a fun chat during the game
Kaitlyn is awesome behind the bar. She’s quick, friendly, and instantly made me feel welcome. Big sports fan too especially her Ravens so it was easy to have a fun chat during the game. Plus, anyone who loves dogs as much as she does is my kind of bartender. Definitely someone who makes the Brewhouse worth coming back to.

3. The Canadian Icehouse
Website: https://thecanadianicehouse.com/
Address: 10332 103 Street NW
Contact: +1 587-686-7221
Hours:
- Monday-Thursday: 11:30 AM – 12:00 AM
- Friday: 11:30 AM – 2:00 AM
- Saturday: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM
- Sunday: 10:30 AM – 12:00 AM
The Canadian Icehouse sits in ICE District Plaza and pairs live sports broadcasts with a massive rooftop patio overlooking the crowds below.
The fun goes beyond watching sports. They offer rooftop batting cages during summer and indoor TrackMan golf simulators year-round.
You can even swing a golf club between periods to burn off some nervous energy.
Their kitchen also serves game-day favourites, including traditional and cauliflower wings with plenty of sauces and rubs.
Unfortunately, parking can be a drawback because the public parkade directly below the venue charges a fee.
You also can’t reserve the rooftop batting cages in advance. Instead, you’ll need to get tokens from a server when you arrive.

Some of the best service ive experienced
Love Brewhouses! One of my go to when I travel as Medicine Hat does not have one (anyone want another location OPEN ONE! We got a WHL team, a population that loves patios (which brewhouse always has the best) and pub lovers. You wouldn’t regret opening one!) Anyways of all the Brewhouses I’ve been to this one has some of the best service ive experienced! And as always the food was amazing (they never drop the ball… puck or whatever sports analogy you wanna use)

4. The Provincial Bar & Lounge
Website: https://theprovincialbarandlounge.ca/
Address: 4211 106 Street, Unit 160
Contact: +1 780-665-6510 | [email protected]
Hours:
- Monday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM
- Tuesday-Thursday: 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM
- Friday-Saturday: 11:00 AM – 12:00 AM
- Sunday: 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Sometimes you just want a good cocktail and a taco while the hockey game plays in the background. The Provincial Bar & Lounge offers just that, with a menu of street tacos, smash burgers, and globally inspired mains alongside big-screen sports.
The bar shows Oilers games and NFL Sunday matchups on their big screens. They also run monthly Oilers ticket draws and give guests a chance to win an NFL jersey.
On Thursdays, you can get wings for $9.99 per pound, which pair well with a local draft beer. You could even skip your usualFriday karaoke spot and enjoy the lounge instead.
However, Friday trivia runs from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so sports aren’t the only focus that evening.
To add, they open at 3:00 PM Monday through Thursday, which rules out earlier weekday games.

Tvs were large and clear with plenty of them for easy viewing from anywhere
First time ive been to Provincial and the new owner and his staff are so genuine and kind, they truly care about the quality of their food and service. They’ve done a great job of renovating as the ambience was up to date but still felt like an English Sports Pub. The music was at the right volume and the tvs were large and clear with plenty of them for easy viewing from anywhere. We had the fish tacos which were fantastic and the owner/chef made custom salsa for us and came twice to ask how everything was…

5. Uncle Glenn’s Eatery & Sports Pub
Website: https://uncleglennssportspub.ca/
Address: 7666 156 St.
Contact: +1 780-481-3192 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Thursday: 4:00 PM – 12:00 AM; Friday: 4:00 PM – 2:00 AM; Saturday: 3:00 PM – 2:00 AM
Uncle Glenn’s Eatery & Sports Pub has served the Rio Terrace community since 1987.
Over the years, they’ve expanded their offerings to include televised sports and video lottery terminals (VLTs). Guests can also enjoy amenities like pool tables and live music.
Their kitchen focuses on wood-fired pizzas, with speciality pies, gluten-free crusts, and a build-your-own option. You even share the Partner Platter during a long game, which comes with wings, dry ribs, spring rolls, and chicken fingers.
One regular we spoke with especially praised the crispy edges of the wood-fired crust.
Sadly, they don’t open on Sundays, so NFL fans will need another spot for Sunday games. They also stay closed until 4:00 PM on weekdays.

Uncle Glenn’s Sports Pub is an excellent place to wind down and relax
Uncle Glenn’s Sports Pub is an excellent place to wind down and relax after work or to take in the big sports game. The food is made with a wood burning oven and it makes everything taste great, including the pizza!
I will definitely be going back as I’ve always had great service!
Oh yeah, the free peanuts and popcorn are great too!

Clean and cosy neighbourhood pub
Stopped in to watch an Oilers game on a Saturday night. It’s a clean and cozy neighborhood pub that was packed with people all having a great time. I ordered the appetizer platter…. Dry ribs were addictive. All of the food tasted great. They had 2 pool tables as well. Service was good excellent. Many tv’s on the walls to see the game regardless of seating. Free popcorn and peanuts to get your salt fix while you sip on a ice cold beer. I’ll go back anytime. Was fun.
