Expressionz Cafe

address: 9938 70 ave, Edmonton, AB
venue type: cafe
capacity: ?
minors: Yes
rating: 3 stars (if organizers account for curb) full venue overview not yet attached
Accessibility: This is an extremely accessible venue, with wide (34") doors and venue path throughout. The small lip to the entrance has been properly ramped, HOWEVER the make shift concrete block sidewalk from the curb cut to the doorway path is in extremely rough condition. Organizers must put down 32" wide plywood over roughly 8' long sidewalk to make venue accessible. Owners are very open to this, and are working towards remedying this situation.

Washrooms are large, accessible individual stall rooms with grab bars and sufficient door clearence and turning radius. They are currently gendered, but could be easily made gender-neutral for events (strongly suggested).

Venue can be reached by any bus that travels 99 avenue. There is street level parking, some of which can be reserved for accessibility. There is currently no bike lock up.

Other Perks: Venue is a not-for-profit that supports local arts communities and is extremely open and committed to access for all. They offer a generous menu of soups and sandwiches.
