Uncover the 10 Best Bars in Regina You Need to Hit This Weekend
I swear there’s something about stepping into a washroom after downing three shots of tequila and an inventive cocktail (yes, I don’t hold my liquor well). Sometimes all it takes is gripping both sides of the sink and staring into the mirror to “center yourself.”
But somehow, you manage to waddle back to your crew, get a few more bites, and keep the night rolling. Sure, there’s a decent chance I’ll end up like Doug from The Hangover, but honestly, nights out with friends or loved ones give you that shot of life.
So, thanks to all the bottles, shots, and questionable decisions, my team and I handpicked the best bars in Regina—from casual pubs to upscale spots. Read on and explore your next favourite night out. Drink responsibly!
Leopold’s Tavern “OG”

Address: 2330 Albert St
Contact details: +1 855-522-5367
Operating hours: Monday to Sunday: 11 AM – 2 AM
Pricing: $$
There are actually Leopold’s Tavern locations in Regina other than the OG, making them pretty accessible depending on what part of town you’re in. Expect the place to be casual, loud (in a good way), lots of chatter and energy, featuring a typical pub-style decor and setting.
They have a solid cocktail list, like their Amber Bowl (rum, vanilla, cinnamon syrup) and Triple Dry Negroni. You’ll also get to enjoy pub food, such as cheeseburger poutine, brisket beef dip, and wings, which hit the spot if you want to enjoy a nice drink and bite.
The beer lineup doesn’t disappoint, either. They carry a mix of local Saskatchewan brews and popular Canadian staples. And if you’re the type who likes to try regional beers on tap, this is a great spot to do it without having the price tag ruin your mood to get more drinks.
| Pro tip: If you’re in a fairly big group, consider calling ahead to snag a big table since the place fills up fast. And note that parking can be tight around Albert Street, so plan to arrive a little early or just carpool. |
Regina Rail Yard Saloon

Address: 2300 Dewdney Ave
Contact details: +1 306-994-4900
Operating hours:
- Friday: 10 PM – 2 AM
- Saturday: 9 PM – 2 AM
Pricing: $$
One of the main highlights of Regina Rail Yard Saloon is the regular live band performances and DJ sets. On Saturdays especially, you’ll get to see and have fun with a diverse crowd, and there’s usually “College Night with Culture Club” on Fridays.
Just from that, you can tell that the crowd leans to young adults or college students and Gen Z. They have cool themed nights with special drinks, mixes, cocktails, and pricing, which makes this place quite dynamic.
If you’re lucky, you can even snag dollar drafts or cheap doubles, so you won’t be going home with a hangover and an empty wallet. Also, because it opens late and closes early in the morning, it’s built for those looking for the late-night bar scene, rather than an evening chill.
| Pro tip: Check their socials to get updated on the event schedule. Some events have cover charges or ticket prices, and knowing which night has live bands vs DJ sets helps you pick the vibe (and maybe even crowd) you want. |

On that note, their grilled cheese special is a star when it comes to their food items. If you’re planning for something big, you can book an area—The James Room—that can cater up to 30 guests, with a jukebox, big-screen TVs, and a full-service bar, perfect for birthdays.

They have a diverse drink menu, including cocktails, local craft beers, and an extensive wine list. It’s worth noting that they have the largest “By the Glass” wine program in Regina, giving you the luxury to sample a wide range of wines.
That said, bottles of wine are 20% off every Wednesday, and charcuterie boards are a great pairing. Another thing to watch out for is the live music performance at the patio—they even have heated tents to keep the vibe cozy and festive even on cooler nights.
| Pro tip: Try arriving just before 3 PM to call first dibs on a prime lakeside table during Happy Hour (3-5 PM). Check out their socials if you want to go on themed nights like $5 tacos on Thursdays, fresh oysters on Fridays, and Wine Wednesdays. |

Moving on to their drinks, they offer rotating craft beers, classic cocktails like Gin Berry Smash and Saskatoon Berry Mule. And they don’t mess around with food, either. You can get burgers, wings, and daily specials.
If you’re on a budget, then just plan out your orders well since some can get a bit pricey. You can spot many dishes around $15-$20 and drinks in the $6-$10 range—it’s also smart to ask the staff for a flight recommendation if you don’t have any idea what to get.
| Pro tip: With all the events and live performances they host, checking out their socials before you go is a good idea. One of the events people really like is Singo, and they usually have this on Friday nights. |

Address: 338C University Park Dr
Contact details: +1 306-586-9720

If your idea of a bar is something upscale, refined, and intimate, then Homestead Bar À Vin might fit the bill. This wine bar is tucked into Regina’s Heritage neighbourhood.
It’s worth mentioning that their wine list focuses on natural and low-intervention wines from around the world—of course, with a bias towards Canadian producers.
Food-wise, their menu centers around small plates, which change based on local ingredients and the seasons. But you can expect elegant dishes like roasted carrots with labneh, and fresh oysters.
