Route 7 Central Wetaskiwin to Red Deer
If you've got more of an appetite or have a larger group with you, you can always head down the road to Barney's Pub & Grill for a relaxed evening of tasty eats. Attached to the Best Western, it’s a great combination if you also need an overnight stay before starting your journey. The extensive menu is sure to satisfy any craving you might have, and you can enjoy a selection of local craft beer by the can, their rotating local tap (currently it’s pouring Edmonton’s Bent Stick Brewing), or even a cocktail using Back 40 Distillery spirits from nearby Camrose. The warm and inviting atmosphere is reminiscent of a cross between an English pub and modern steakhouse, with a private room that seats up to 16 for larger gatherings. If you're feeling lucky, there's also some VLTs in the back. They have a sister restaurant in Leduc as well, so if your trip takes you in that direction, you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. With daily specials, it can be a good pick for the budget-concise traveler too!
