The name WOODWORK pays homage to the intersection of our passions for wood-fired cooking and barrel-aged spirits.

The Woodwork kitchen is centred around our custom Grillworks wood-fired grill; while our bar features one of Alberta's most extensive collections of spirits, award-winning cocktails, and a curated list of our favourite wines to pair with grilled cuisine.

An Edmonton institution since 2013, Woodwork is located downtown in the historic McLeod Building at 100 Street & Rice Howard Way.

    We came to enjoy some drinks before heading out to a restaurant for a celebratory dinner. We had planned to eat at Woodwork but the food options were limited and didn't meet some of our dietary needs. Service was not too bad. The noise was almost unbearable for us ancient people, it was difficult to hear my wife sitting across the table from me and even moving to sit directly beside her didn't afford much better hearing.

    Hi Harmony, Thank you so much for the great feedback! Sorry to hear you had trouble with the facilities. We do have spare toilet paper in the bathrooms stored in a black cylinder on the floor. We can take this as an opportunity to find a system that is more clear for our guests in addition to our regular washroom checks. We appreciate the feedback. -Dylan

    Hi Rochelle, I'm terribly sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your steak or cocktails. We are working on a new cocktail menu and making many new great changes to our menu in the coming weeks, we invite you to try us again soon! -Dylan

    The whole experience was amazing and the cocktails were 10/10! Our server let us know she was new but still was able to recommend things and help answer all of our questions. Apps were amazing, our steak was slightly over cooked, we ordered medium rare and it was closer to med well, but even so it was still delicious. We all left full and happy!

    Some of the food was really tasty, such as the Brussels sprouts and the fries. The halibut special was officially not that okay…the fish being on the bland and dry side. Wouldn’t order it again. The drinks were good, the service was a little slow, but we weren’t in any hurry so not a really big deal (though taking a long time to get drinks to our table was rather poor). Still, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the ambience was great. I would go again

    The food, drinks and service were excellent. But the restaurant was so incredibly hot. We didn't stick around for after-dinner drinks and dessert because we were so uncomfortable. I haven't been there in a few years but I don't remember the restaurant being so hot. I would like to go back again but I'll be calling and asking if the HVAC is working.

    We dined at Woodwork for our 10th wedding anniversary. The service was top knotch, the food was phenomenal, and the drinks were delicious. The low lit dining room made the experience very intimate. It was the perfect choice for our special dinner. We can't wait to visit again next time we're in Edmonton.

    The charcuterie board had good items, but very small portions and no crackers or bread included. We had to pay extra for bread, but felt it was a better solution than a fork or fingers (LOL).

    Love dining here! The noise level was VERY loud While the service was great - the waitress kept interrupting us to chat with us (super nice) but also annoying when you're in the middle of the conversation and they want to take over but not ask.

    Did you know Woodwork does NOT have tea and coffee? Also their menu was quite small but their drink menu was extensive (minus coffee and tea of course). Service was amazing.

    Hi Anonymous, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, all feedback is valuable for us! We previously served Espresso and Americanos however our coffee machine could not deliver the quality we are known to produce. We are currently examining options for coffee and tea that can keep up with the pace of our restaurant during our busiest times of the year. Thank you for visiting, -Dylan

    Everytime we go to Woodwork it is always a great experience. If you haven’t tried their Brussel sprouts or smoked ribs you need to! The bartenders are true mixologists and the cooks are top notch. They have a great selection of bourbons and whiskeys as we love a great old fashioned and a whiskey sour. Overall Woodwork is one of our favourite places to eat and drink in downtown Edmonton.

    We were referred here by another local bartender who said the bar (and bartender) were outstanding. And they were. Very innovative and actually tasty drinks they were, and the lead bartender was a true scholar (and probably a gentleman). We had only a few snacks -- olives, which were plentiful and full of fresh flavor, sausages, and ribs. Each was reasonably priced, very well plated, and delicious.

    I would recommend this to a friend, the service and food was fantastic. I don’t even like mussels but my date ordered and they were great. My only disappointment was their old-fashioned, I’ve never had one that awful before and it left a lot to be desired - but that was a minor thing, I switched to margaritas!!

    We came here after our wedding for dinner - a group of 6 of us. Most of us had never been here but heard good reviews from others. I am so happy we came here! It was the ending to a magical day. They gave us complimentary champagne with strawberries and dessert to help us celebrate. The food was amazing, and the service was great. Will be back!!

    Food was incredible. We met the head chef Rick and he was gracious and complimented his team. It was obvious the vibe, service and our meal was a harmonious and collective effect. It checked all the boxes, starting with cocktails, starters and a great meal. It was a lovely evening out with our friends.
