If you’re an Oilers fan (and honestly, who isn’t right now?), there’s no better time to round up the crew and hit up some of the best local spots bringing the playoff energy. Whether you’re watching the game on the big screen or planning a cozy night in with snacks, these Edmonton gems are going all out with the game day vibes.
Here’s what’s on our radar!
River Cree Oilers Playoff Viewing Parties
This one is a must if you’re looking for that big game atmosphere. For just $25, you get access to an all-you-can-eat buffet, plus fun giveaways and door prizes all night long. The $5 Molson Canadians and $6 drinks don’t hurt either, and the buffet runs right from 30 minutes before puck drop until the end of the second period, so come hungry!
Where: 300 East Lapotac Blvd Box 179 Enoch, Alberta T7X 3Y3
The Summit
Located inside the Silent Ice Center is where hockey culture meets good eats. They’re serving up $5.50 pints of Molson Canadian, $15 pizzas, and extra happy hour snacks during every playoff game. The sound system is unreal, the screens are massive.
Where: 1515 35 Ave 3rd Flr, Nisku, AB T9E 1P5
The Common
For something a little more chill but still super fun, The Common is bringing a stylish vibe to game night with dine-in only specials. Their $12.50 smash burgers are total perfection, and the $7 lagers go down way too easily. The loungey setting and retro-modern décor make this spot feel cool without trying too hard. Book a table to lock it in.
Where: 9910 109 St NW Edmonton, AB, T5K 1H5
Annie Rue Ice Cream
If you’re craving something sweet, Annie Rue Ice Cream has totally outdone themselves with their limited-edition Play La Bamba Baby flavour. Think blue vanilla and orange ice cream swirled into a dreamy orange creamsicle. It’s only available while the Oilers are in the playoffs, and $2 from every pint goes to the Ben Stelter Foundation. Cute merch for a cause? Yes please.
Where: 6531 111 St NW, Edmonton, AB T6H 4R5
Ben’s Meats & Deli
For all my backyard BBQ fans, you need to keep an eye on Ben’s Meat and Deli. This family-run shop has been an Edmonton staple since forever, and they’re dropping a new game day special every Oilers playoff night. Expect delicious European-style sausages and cheeses that are basically made for cozy home gatherings with the game on in the background.
Where: 15726 Stony Plain Road Edmonton, AB T5P 3Z5
So whether you’re out on the town or cheering from your own living room, Edmonton’s got you totally covered for playoff season. Let’s go Oilers!
