If you’re looking for a bite to eat in a queer space after your shopping excursions, don’t worry! No matter what side of the river you’re on, there are great queer and allied spaces for a quick lunch, leisurely dinner, or cocktails and appies. Northern Chicken, now with two locations, is proudly queer-owned and a strong advocate of worker rights, employee safety, and community involvement. The chicken will knock your socks off! Don’t forget to try the Dorito Mac and Cheese on the side. Venues such as Spotlight Cabaret, Campio Brewing, El Cortez Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar, and the Starlite Room are also places to check out, as these venues are actively involved in Edmonton’s queer community.
