There’s something about a bite and a brew at the end of the workday. Somehow, a good day’s work makes the bite a bit tastier and the brew go down just a little easier, don’t you think?
For centuries, the local pub was where people would go to unwind after they’d spent a hard day in the field (or, truth be told, they’d go there for a hearty lunch and a midday pint). That great tradition continues in Old Strathcona.
In our pubs, you’ll find the good, basic foods that fed the locals in England and Ireland: fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, burgers and more. You’ll also find some fantastic brews… and some new great new tastes too – especially in our gastropubs! (Consider gastropubs a brand take on the old: a place where the high-end food is every bit as important as the high-end beer.)
And then there’s our clubs. Old Strathcona is known for its nightlife. We’ve got more live music venues in one district than anywhere else in the city. We’ve also got the kind of clubs where the DJs spin great grooves and you can wear the most fashion forward evening wear and dance until the very wee hours.
However you prefer to kick back, we’ve got it covered.
