Another thursday and more of the good stuff!
.....dig in! |
The Druid Irish Pub has triumphantly returned to downtown Edmonton after nearly a decade, bringing a renewed energy to the city’s nightlife.
Once a cherished Jasper Avenue staple, The Druid now resides in the historic Mercer Warehouse on 104 Street NW, seamlessly blending old-world Irish charm with a modern, welcoming vibe.
Guests enjoy cozy wood interiors, lively evenings, and an authentic menu featuring classics like beef stew and the beloved Druid Fish & Chips.
Signature pints, especially perfectly poured Guinness, and regular live music—including popular Wednesday sessions with Calum Bell and Friends—define the experience.
The Druid’s reopening joins other recent revivals, such as the Pawn Shop’s comeback and the debut of O-day’min Park, signaling a bold transformation for Edmonton’s downtown.
This iconic pub’s return not only celebrates local heritage but inspires excitement for what’s next in the city’s vibrant social scene. Read More... |
