Blakbar Tavern, usually styled as BLAKBAR, is an alternative rock resto-pub and live music venue in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Located on Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona, it sits in one of the city’s main nightlife and music areas. The sign outside describes the venue as a “Rock Resto”, matching its combination of bar, food and live music.
The venue functions as a pub, restaurant and small live music space, with food, drinks, comedy, trivia, all-ages shows and regular concerts forming part of its programme. The food is typical bar fare, including burgers and chicken wings, while the drinks selection has included rock and metal-branded spirits such as Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey and Slipknot’s Iowa No. 9 whiskey.
The stage is small and positioned by the front window, giving Blakbar a compact local live-bar character. Its music profile is mainly alternative rock, punk, indie and local live bands, with metal and heavier rock also appearing within the wider event calendar.
