In summary, I would not recommend this establishment. During the Stanley Playoffs, I made two…read morereservations. The first visit excellent; the server was attentive, and food was enjoyable. However, the second experience was disappointing to say the least. I received a text message claiming I had missed my reservation followed by an inappropriate "wtf?" remark. When I provided a screenshot confirming my actual reservation for a different night the texter responded with "ha ha, my bad, must not have gotten the memo." Upon arriving for my confirmed reservation, there was no table reserved for us. We were placed at leftover table in a corner, the service was subpar, the owner displayed unprofessional behavior when he incorrectly to my friend as Mexican. When she corrected him, stating she was Venezuelan, he unapologetically laughed and walked away. The only reason I am giving two stars is because of the positive first visit.

We decided to do it again for 2022. Three of us charted the route on Dec 29th and went into the pub after. The two pizzas and wrap we had were excellent. (I had a pizza at BP in October and this was hands down far superior) Something about a wood burning oven just warms a person. We had about 22 people into the pub after our NYE hike. Everyone ordered food and drinks. There were a couple of forgotten drinks but overall the service was good and the food was excellent as well. It seems Glenn has done some renovations since we were last there. The place looked good and was clean. We were glad to be back. :) Happy New Year Uncle Glenn!

Can't really comment about the beer since it's the same anywhere you go! :) The food was not bad but nothing special! The pretzel wasn't the best! Customer service was a bit slow!

Atmosphere was a typical pub ambiance. Really not remarkable. I liked though that the music wasn't blaring and I could have a conversation. Server was friendly and helpful. Food was quick to come out. We both loved the calamari. They were thick pieces that were well seasoned. Definately need to order this again. Broccoli was perhaps a bit underdone, but flavour was good. When the crab came out it looked a little skimpy in terms of potatoes and the other shellfish. However with the appies we were filled up well. Crab was tasty and well boiled. Potatoes were okay and the few mussels and clanms on the bottom. I would come back here for that still. All in all a good meal.

I wasn't so happy about the confusing menu however. The food was decent but the menu pricing was a bit misleading. I missed my old regular servers from back in the days when I was a regular. The women's washroom hasn't changed in the time we'd been away, and it was just as in need of repair/care as before. Service was mediocre. The restaurant itself remains large and the pool tables look to be in good working order. There is decent parking here and it isn't too far from transit so that's good.

Even though there was only 2 of us, we sat at a larger table, with a tv that was somewhat private to our section, which I liked. Hockey was currently on, and with me not being a hockey fan, I asked if all the tvs were synchronized or if we could change the channel for our specific tv. The waitress didn't know, nor did she follow up with an answer. We ordered 2 pounds of wings, one being the Nashville Hot, which was a dry rub, and the Sriracha Honey. I had asked for both to be well done and I don't feel like either of them were. Both the Nashville Hot and the Sriracha Honey were listed in almost the hottest wing section, neither were that. The Nashville Hot wings, were bland with inconsistent seasoning, meanwhile the Sriracha Honey was smothered in a sauce that was more honey than sriracha flavour. We also ordered the beer battered fries, which definitely weren't. They definitely came frozen from a bag, which is expected for a place like this. The service was okay, the food was okay, overall 3/5. Definitely will return but with lower expectations.

As for drinks, they have some great happy hour specials and the house red wine was surprisingly drinkable.

Went last Saturday to catch a friend's band play, and I'm so happy I did! It was a gorgeous day-- perfect for a patio sit, and lots of folks were all there for the same purpose, so it was super relaxed and chill. Our server, Mandy, was unrufflable and funny. The perfect server. The manager, David, is really great. Friendly and super welcoming, considering I'd only been once before. I noticed that he was attempting to change out the sandwich board for the band, so asked if I could help (ex art major, with a lot of typography experience). He was happy to let me. So that was fun. :) I had a couple beers and the Italian sausage flatbread pizza. OMG! SO good! And the prices were perfectly respectable. Definitely planning to make this place a regular stop on my relaxing/drinking/socializing rounds now.

Oh, zero's - lots of zeros - not an eatery but a derelict bar. Avoid!…read more After cleaning a relative's suite at a nearby seniors' residence and walking back to our hotel a block away, a place in between was O2's on Jasper. There's an O2's in our home town and we like the food there. One of us was craving nachos and, as it was Sunday, June 29, we checked the menu and saw nachos were on special that day. It was 6:15 p.m., definitely time to eat, and the restaurant had signs saying it was open during renovations being done at the far back, furthest away from the main entrance. We weren't a large group - less than a few of us. We walked in, went to a booth, and sat down. We saw 2 staff. One of us heard a waitress talking, saying there were no more servers, but we didn't think she was talking to us as she was a dozen feet away from us, standing near other people at the bar, looking down at her computer till, and she never glanced up in our direction. Another person with us had not heard her speaking at all. She never came to our table, walked away from the computer till and disappeared. Most tables were empty - it wasn't crowded this early on a Sunday evening. The other staff member was behind the bar serving customers. A sign outside the main entrance said they were open and serving, the menu on the table at our booth showed food specials for Sunday, the website showed business as usual with a menu. Nobody ever came to our table. The booth table we sat at was broken, not just rickety, but broken where your glass would have fallen off the table. There was a dirty kleenix on the seat. We debated whether to go to another booth and stay, one of us considered walking up to the bar and ordering food, but after looking around at the customer base and considering that the staff ignored us, we got up and left. This place is located in a residential area west of downtown Edmonton, not on skid row, but it brings a skid row vibe to the neighbourhood. As we continued to clean out our relative's nearby suite that long weekend, walking back and forth to our hotel, we noticed a lot of vomit piles and stains appearing outside the main entrance of this so-called eatery. Glad we hadn't ordered food here. We also noticed a lack of Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes, when sitting inside, so take out orders weren't happening either. Don't bother with this place - it's a derelict bar with creepy customers and lousy staff, not anywhere near the great eatery we have at home. Avoid walking too close to the main entrance, unless you want to step in a vomit puddle (see picture of front entrance, taken a couple of hours later - but still very early - that same night).
