Meet my Friend Pablo Studio 54 and West Hollywood have cross-pollinated on Jasper Avenue On the wall at Pablo hangs a candid snap of Andy Warhol, Calvin Klein, Brook Shields, and Steve Rubell carousing at Studio 54, circa 1981. Combine that panache with a splash of West Hollywood neon and sub-tropical greenery and you start to catch the vibe this petit cocktail club exudes. Not even a year old and already this Edmonton hotspot has placed #19 in Canada’s Best Bars and joined the ten bars named “Best International High Volume Cocktail Bar” and “Best New International Cocktail Bar” in Tales of the Cocktail’s prestigious Spirited Awards for 2020. The story goes that Kevin Cam of North53 and Baijiu approached James Grant and Natasha Trowsdale in 2019 with a mind to opening a swanky late night spot focused strictly on drinks. Grant and Trowsdale turned around and delivered an energetic and lighthearted cocktail program set in a room that makes every guest feel like a minor celebrity. ▶
