Mona Lisa’s Pub

There is no other place in Edmonton where it is so bad it’s good… As to quote Neil Young «you see the losers in the best bars, see the winners in the dives».
You can be drinking beside a gentleman from Kenya one minute and talking to a native polar bear hunter the next (no shit). The dress code is pretty much anything you want to wear and the Karaōke is off the hook… How many times have you gotten to watch a bartender clean up blood off the floor at the same time as a crew of ex cons do an Eminem set!
Was I scared at anytime? No. On this part of 118ave a smile and a beer bought for someone makes you an instant friend.
If you’re looking for a non-​pretentious, cheap and friendly watering hole where you could quite possibly meet some really cool people with even cooler stories stop by here for a beer or ten. Trust me the more beer you drink in that place the more fun and interesting times you will have. And don’t worry about the bouncers, they just use the locals, who are more tough and scary than any mouth breather you’ll find on Whyte.
I toss down the gauntlet to all Unilocalsters to step foot in this place, drink a beer and start chatting someone up. They might just be a polar bear hunter from NWT
