I came out in 1977 and this bar was my first introduction to gay men. I spent many all nighters there and even worked briefly cleaning the place up during the weekend days. The parties were fabulous , the weekends were memorable and the men were hot. Sad to see commercial enterprise destroy a place that was special to every young gay man's heart. I will miss ya!....Mark..:=(.....

Due to being purchased for a condominium tower development, The Roost will be closing permanently as of December 31st, 2007. Thanks to all the GLBT visitors to Edmonton, Alberta for making the Roost one of your important stops on your visit!

The Best Gay club in edmonton, colourful, fun, accepting, ...Overall I Had A Friggin BLAST!... but dont go on a slow night...cuz when its slow......boyyyyyy is it dead.

It seemed to be on the edge of a bad neighborhood, but it was hard to tell at night. There was a membership fee in addition to the cover charge, but if your ID shows you are from out of town, they will waive the membership fee. The staff was very friendly and the music was very good. The crowd was gender mixed. The best thing about this bar was that it was big with many different rooms and a nice enclosed outdoor area.

GREAT IF I WAS STILL 22
