The Banquet (Fort McMurray)
The original Banquet in Eagle Ridge
The Banquet calls its Eagle Ridge bar in Fort McMurray the original, a self-styled premium dive bar from which the group grew to four sites, with two more in Calgary and one in Edmonton's ICE District. Bowling lanes share the room with arcade machines, a full bar, space for dancing and a kitchen that also puts out happy-hour food, and a private dining room is kept for gatherings.
Google shows weekday service starting at 11:30 AM and weekend service at 11 AM. The bar closes at 1 AM, an hour later on Friday and Saturday, and warns that closing can shift on the night. Children have to leave by 9 PM. Bowling is reserved on the same page as tables, while larger parties fill in a separate group-event form. Lane numbers and bowling prices are not posted for this location. Reviewers on Google rate it 4.5 out of 5 across more than 1,500 reviews.
