Nabi

Hidden Elegance with a Modern Twist

Nabi is a sleek and intimate speakeasy-style restaurant tucked away on 104 Street in downtown Edmonton. Just a short walk from major concert venues, it delivers an elevated yet relaxed dining experience with a focus on thoughtfully crafted cocktails and Asian-fusion small plates. The moody lighting, velvet seating, and creative menu make it a stylish choice for a night out — especially when you're heading to a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located less than a 10-minute walk from the city's biggest venues, Nabi is ideal for those looking to grab a bite or a drink before the music starts. The vibe is upscale but unpretentious, making it a great spot for pre-show excitement. Reviewers love the quick service and well-timed courses, especially for early seatings before concerts. The venue’s low lighting and ambient music also make it a fantastic place to wind down after the encore.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends wanting to kick off the night with cocktails and shareable plates
• Solo travelers looking for a seat at the bar and a stylish meal before the show
• Couples planning a romantic evening with dinner and live music
• Fans wanting a lively pre-show space with a buzzworthy vibe
• Budget-conscious music fans open to sharing dishes and enjoying happy hour specials

What People Say

Guests rave about Nabi’s inventive cocktails and beautifully plated small dishes, with many calling it one of Edmonton’s most unique dining experiences. The service is attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance gets consistent praise for being both classy and cozy. Diners also appreciate the well-curated wine and sake list, and the chef’s use of bold flavors with a modern twist.

Areas for Improvement

The speakeasy vibe means the lighting is low — romantic, but not always ideal for reading the menu. Some guests note that the small plate format can make the bill add up quickly if you're really hungry. Reservations are recommended, especially on concert nights, as seating is limited.

The Bottom Line

A stylish and convenient choice for concert-goers looking for creative bites, craft cocktails, and an unforgettable start (or finish) to their night out in Edmonton.
