Sombreros may be optional, but having a good time is not when you visit this hidden gem on Main Street Leduc.

Hacker’s Grill is BACK and better than ever … If you haven’t had the chance to check out the Leduc Golf Club‘s recent renovations, now’s the time! The new clubhouse is stunning, and the hospitality and atmosphere is as friendly as ever. We love their locally-sourced lineup of beverages …

GO-TO DRINK: The Mel Spice Up Your Life Caesar
Every day should be Caesar Sunday with how tasty this cocktail is – Rig Hand Vodka (choose between Garlic, Horseradish, or Dill Pickle) may be the star of the show, but add on a perfectly salted rim, pickled asparagus + Wilhauk Beef Jerky and you end up with a mighty Caesar that packs a punch in the best of ways.
