If panoramic city views are your thing, Rooftop by Boxer is already on its way to becoming one of Edmonton's best-kept patios. Perched on the sixth floor of the historic Crawford Building downtown, the space overlooks Old Strathcona and stretches across downtown's skyline — sight lines that rival any rooftop in the city.
The spot opened to the public this summer after serving primarily as a private event venue. Walk-ins are now slowly being welcomed, though finding availability takes patience — the rooftop is frequently booked with private events throughout the season.
What makes it worth the hunt is the rotating craft beer selection. Names like Odd Company Brewing and Bent Stick Beer anchor a list that celebrates Edmonton's thriving craft scene. They also offer select cocktails and margaritas, but the beer list is where this rooftop shines. Pizza rounds out the menu, simple food designed to pair with drinks and let the view do the heavy lifting.
Hours run 5:30 to 10 p.m., though you'll want to check their Instagram before heading over — during the summer, the space is often fully booked with events. That said, they do hold walk-in slots, and the venue clearly wants to balance private bookings with public access. Keep an eye on their social feeds for when tables open.
