    So we returned here again. In general it wasn't quite as good as before. Still same vibe and good beer selection. Service was scattered but decent. It was the food that wasn't up to snuff. I ordered the butternut squash risotto. It was well prepared. The risotto was the consistency that it should be but it lacked flavour. I needed to add salt and a whole lot of pepper to the dish. However the portion was good and there was plenty of mushrooms and squash in it. What was the huge disappointment was the tenderloin. Tiny and barely any flavour. It was burried in the brussel sprouts and there was a disappointing amount of sweet potato mash. And for almost 30 bucks my husband was still hungry. Can you count how many times I said disappointing? Come here for the beer but skip the food.

    New York steak.

    A really great hidden spot on Jasper Avenue. I've passed here so many times and finally made it in on a Saturday night, when there is a special on beer cocktails ($8) and chef's menu choices ($20). My beer cocktail was a "root beer" and it actually tasted like root beer with a kick: a dark beer with Kahlua and root beer schnapps. The chef's plate I chose was a 10-ounce steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Normally this would be closer to $30, but was a bargain for $20. My steak was done to perfection, tender, and the sides were great too. The atmosphere is casual, service is friendly, and there are a lot of beers, cocktails, and food menu items (mostly higher-end pub choices) from which to choose. I'm looking forward to coming back.

    Good.  Salt needed.

    I felt like I was old enough or ..... boring enough idk. Finding it was weird, it's in an office building downstairs. The bar looked cool and the server was nice, food wasn't bad, but we ordered then left to go eat a real meal a few blocks away ...... idk what else to say. Maybe after work the place is cool. I would go back for the Brussels sprouts. The ambiance was dragging me.

    I can't believe I haven't finished my review for Underground. This is one of my favourite favourite places in downtown Edmonton to visit since they opened. It's a true standby with food, drinks and atmosphere I can enjoy. Gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options on the menu - those blackened steak tid-bits are really tasty. Now you know which camp I'm in. Drinks... I've never had a moment where I didn't find something on the menu I wanted. They have rotating taps for folks who can drink the beer - being celiac, I have fewer options, but there's ALWAYS a cider I like on the drink menu. Beer flights - my companions regularly partake. We've had fantastic service, and average service. Very rarely and nearly never poor or neglectful here - some places you have to beg for a bill these days, and I have not found that here. Come early, it gets busy. Check what the current daily specials are. They tweet the lunch specials often, and there are theme nights. TVs, you can watch multiple sports, and there's art for sale on the walls. Nice they support local folks.

    The hat trick bacon sandwich, duck confit poutine, and nuclear wings. $5 pint as well.

    We were told this was a great place for food and beer and we found that to be quite true. We were lucky and stopped by on wing Wednesday and $5 pint night, so we ate quite well. We ordered wings, a hat trick bacon sandwich, and duck confit poutine. All of the food truly impressed us. The nuclear wings were very spicy, but had good flavor. They will have your nose running and eyes watering by the time you are done, but they still have great flavor beyond the spice. The hat trick sandwich was a bacon lovers dream. Bacon patty, bacon jam, bacon, and a fried egg. It was heavenly. The duck confit poutine was the best I have had in Edmonton. We also enjoyed a few beers while on $5 pint night. We enjoyed some local favorites, except the ipas. They were drastically lacking in hops as compared to the America ipa's we are used to. The bartender was quite friendly and allowed us to sample beers until we found one we liked. Overall, the food was mind blowing, beer was great, and the service was friendly. I could not ask for much more.

    Shhhh.  I'm trying to watch the Blue Jays.

    I've been here a few times. It's just OK. I like watching the sports, but around 8:00, they turn off the TV volume and crank up the hits of the 80's. bah The chipotle steak salad is the best. The burgers are killer. Endless beer selection. We like to sit at the bar. Bartenders don't always make the best food servers. LOL. Dude removed my hubby's plate before he was done. Ooops. He put it back but since he had touched the fork, hubs requested a clean one to finish his meal. This caused confusion. Poor guy got flustered. Nothing is ever really wrong here, it's just never great. $7.00 pints and up. Kind if pricey for sitting in a basement.

    I've been to this location a few times; for the most part it's decent. I think that they hit the mark on the food most of the time, however, more times than not I leave feeling disappointed by more than one thing. The instance I had where I left feeling the worst was a night that I went out with friends, we were given a server that didn't really seem to know exactly what was on the menu, wasn't able to offer any recommendations, told us that they didn't have things that they clearly did have. We ordered a cake dessert and when it came out it was so frozen that we were having to stab a knife into it to shave off small chunks of it. This place is not bad, but I would suggest going in a smaller group and/or asking to be served by someone experienced who works there.

    Overall - 3.5/5.0 A goto spot for dinner when I'm here for work. This place has an extensive selection of beer on tap and has an option for beer flights as well as 1oz tasters if you want to try different ones. Their daily dinner and drink specials does the job. I have had their steak specials (i.e. $12.50 for a 7oz on Mondays and $3.00 tacos w/ $9 flights on Tuesdays). Steak was simple but grilled perfectly and the tacos were substantial and flavourful. This place also brings a cozy environment and friendly vibe. There are also TV screens for you to catch a game or two.

    Mmm beer

    As in "Ferris Buellers Day Off"... OOOoo yyeeaaahh! This place is a bear drinker's paradise. 72 draft beers! The barkeepers were enthusiast and knowledgeable. The beer, MM MMM M guuud. The atmosphere was easy going and relaxed. I wanted to eat light; more room for beer :) Whenever I check out a new spot, I like to keep it simple, and so ordered a Caesar salad. I've found a fresh salad means well kept veg. proper refrigeration etc. Lettuce was crisp the dressing was authentic; also had a starter of chicken fingers, nice N tasty. Next trip I'll try some real food. I went for the beer :-D Looking forward to trip #2

    Get a flight!

    Upon descending down the small escalator to The Underground, I feel a sense of trepidation. What possible atmosphere can the basement of an old building on Jasper avenue have? Will the toilets even flush? How many mice call said building home? Fortunately, there was a light at the end of the tunnel for when you walk into The Underground, the warm woodsy decor makes you forget you are underground! A warm, spacious, inviting mod-pub atmosphere welcomes you. Though far from a beer aficionado I do appreciate craft beers for the same reason I appreciate art galleries, to enjoy something beyond my comprehension thus stretching myself out of a comfort zone and enhancing my knowledge about a subject. After all, who couldn't use more enhancement? I think SD from Oakland has a solid point in highlighting that it might be a little dubious to sell yourself as a craft establishment when a good portion of the selection isn't craft. This being said, relative to this city's environment and market that is my humble home I would say "beggars cannot be choosers." Underground definitely has at least 12 pure local/independent craft selections available for your pleasure. I was lucky to try the Chai Stout from Ambers, Fullmoon from Ally Kat, Pigs Ass Porter from Harvest Moon (Montana) and 606 Pale Ale from Paddock Wood (Sask). Found the Fullmoon and especially the Pig's Ass (which I hope doesn't actually taste like a Pig's Ass because I would begin to question my tastes) great. Learned a lot and had fun getting drunk. Objectives achieved! The service was stellar. Our server, Lisa, knew her stuff about the craft beers. She did a wonderful job. Great place. Hope to come back often.

    Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. I had the duck confit poutine. AMAZING! Fresh cut Kennebec potatoes and tender shredded duck with the most umptious gravy. I am still thinking of this gravy... mmmmm. Also tried the bison blue cheese burger with Caesar salad. The blue cheese was too overpowering and ruined an otherwise tasty, juicy bison patty. The calamari was ok but the onions and peppers that accompanied it was delicious! The caesars were also well mixed. There is also an extensive array of craft beers if this is your thing. I will definitely be going back for more of that gravy!

    Flight of beer, 200 level.

    Great beer selection. I'm a big fan of being overwhelmed with choices. I love that you can get a flight of beer for a reasonable price to sample four different beers. They usually offer a pretty good deal with their daily specials. Food is pretty good too, but you don't really come to the bar for that, in my opinion. Atmosphere is pleasant and nicely lit. The only thing needed to bump this review up to a 5/5 would be a patio.

    In general I love this pub. This time it looses 2 stars because the service was terrrible…read more It took over 10 minutes for someone to come with menus ( on a Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm, the place wasn't busy at all. We almost got up and left. Then it took a while for the food to come out even though it appeared like we were the only ones eating. Then we had to go up and ask for the bill and pay because no one was visible. Not impressed at all. It is cute inside and was nicely decorated for Christmas. Food itself was fine. I had the beef dip. They were skimpier on the meat then previously. The fries and the dip were really tasty. My husband had the chicken sandwich It was tasty but the patty seemed a little small. We are not sure if we hit a bad afternoon but we will give it another shot sometime.

    Came Here Summer Time 2025 With A Girl From out of town I know. And Mike and His Girlfriend. Mike…read moreReferred This Spot To Sit outside. Soon As I Sat Down I was Going To Order a Beer And Some Waitress Told Me I been Staring At Her And It Was A Bit creepy. And That They Were Watching. I was Kind Of Baffled Because I just wanted to have a Pint With My Buddy And His Girlfriend. It Was Embarassing Actually In Front of the Table I got Up left my Friends There. I Ask The Bar What The Address Was Got A Uber Out Of There. I Could Only Imagine How many Guys Shes Said That Too. I Was Apologetic To the Bar But That was My First Experience At that Bar So Id Never Go back. Didnt Try To go back After That. Never Had That Happen At Any Bar Ive Been Too. Would have loved To Spend a Few Hundred There But I ll Take my money Else Where.
