    Bad pool tables, really bad cues. Terrible management. The worst beer selection. Never going back again.

    I had plans to meet an old university friend off-campus the other day, but what with the weather…read morebeing what it was (brrrrr!), she wasn't too keen on walking somewhere off campus (she works for the U of A). I concurred and we decided on Dewey's. Food, drink, and smack dab in the middle of campus. Perfect. I got there a bit early (yay me!) after practically sprinting from the train station to the pub. Do I call it a pub? It's kind of one part cafe, one part pub, one part pool hall, one part study hall, one part music venue. It's Dewey's. We met on a Monday evening so it wasn't too busy. A couple of guys shooting on the tables and an intense philosophical discussion going on across the room. The best part about Dewey's is that is caters to a student budget. My large hot chocolate was only $2. (A small is $1.75!) That's about half what a HC costs at my usual coffee shop haunts. Although I didn't grab any food while I was here last time, my recommendation is the sweet potato fries. They're not actually that much healthier for you than regular fries, especially when you factor in the dip (so delicious!), but they're damn tasty and the perfect sharer. I would definitely come by more often, but as a not-real-student anymore I can't get wireless here. Worth it for the inexpensive food, beer and coffees, though. Five stars if I were in school, three stars as an alum.

    I miss the old PowerPlant of years gone by... but Dewey's is an okay campus licensed coffee…read moreshop/bar and if that is what you're looking for, then it's a fine venue. Food and beverage is inexpensive but is not particularly outstanding. Selection is limited and wait staff are slow to deal with tables particularly when it is busy. That said they have improved their technology in recent years so that helps a bit. I do like the fact that they have a number of non-alcoholic coffee shop beverages. The noise level can be frustrating particularly when they have live music (the accoustics are not great). The seating configurations can be awkward depending on the size of your group. The upstairs area has some more comfortable seating and the pool area is pretty open which is nice. The washrooms are accessible via stairs, and are nothing special. I would go most anywhere off campus instead of Dewey's if given the time and the chance, but it's nice to have a licensed facility in this part of campus anyway.
