Uncle Glenns Eatery & Sports Pub

Fun dive bar. ‘Free peanuts just throw the shells on the floor’ kind of place. Woman’s bathroom is horrid. I just run home to pee. Lol. All food is made in a wood fired oven but i just go for the drinks and peanuts.

I live in the neighbourhood and go to Glenns every week. The beers are reasonably priced, and the women working are always friendly. Most of them can make a kickass Caesar, which is a must for me. The pizzas are good and the nachos are always great. Wings are served in small sizes, though. The kitchen is visible from the bar so you can see your food get prepared, if you’re the kind who’s habitually suspicious of hygiene in independent pubs.
The bar is usually very clean. The washrooms had been renovated recently, and the bartenders are vigilant in keeping the bar clean.
My one complaint would be that the pile of crap they have at the front by the entrance is a bit of an eyesore. Otherwise, it’s a fine pub I would have no problem recommending to anybody when they’re in the mood for a pint.

I think this place is 5 star worthy — but it does have a few downfalls.
This is one of my favorite neighborhood pubs. We know the staff by name and they know us as we are regulars in this little joint. Uncle Glenns has 2 pool tables, a popcorn machine, and a barrel of peanuts — the best part is you can throw the shells on the floor! Also equip with a jukebox we make our own party with our choice of music. It’s never too busy, and the drinks are reasonably priced. There is an older and younger crowd — as its a neighborhood pub…
The food is okay. It used to be great but I think the portion size has gone down, and the prices went up. The have a wood stove that they cook everything in, and the menu is pretty big. Chicken fingers, fries, pizzas, and other bar foods.
Drinks are strong, music is loud, and the pool tables are going. Always a fun night.

One of my favorite pubs in Edmonton. I used to go here quite often as my floor hockey team played at the JCC just down the road. Very good food, the service is always good and free popcorn and peanuts. I would recommend anyone to come here for a nice relaxed night out with friends to watch a hockey game or just hang out.

Uncle Glenn’s is a small neighbourhood pub and eatery with a great atmosphere. The staff is warm and inviting, and the food is of good quality. The oven fired pizza is definitely their bread and butter. The pub is accented with two pool tables and a well equipped bar. This is a great place for small groups to enjoy themselves in a safe and warm environment. Weekends are often busy with a good mix of older and younger crowds. The only drawback would be the lack of a dance floor, however impromptu aisle-​way boogie is common. On the plus side there is an Internet jukebox, and free popcorn and peanuts.

Uncle Glenn’s is one of those neighbourhood pubs that has been there forever, and makes one wonder how it has lasted so long. Located in a strip mall in the Rio Terrace area, this is a bar in every sense of the image: one large room, televisions tuned into sports, and a huge wall of spirits. There is also a popcorn machine and barrel of peanuts in the shell near the entrance. Beer and other drinks are reasonably priced, and the menu has typical bar food like wings and chicken fingers, and some not so typical stuff like bacon wrapped steak medallions and scallops.
I decided to try one of Uncle Glenn’s signature dishes: the wood-​fire oven pizza. There are about a dozen different choices, all $ 12.95. Extra toppings are a buck extra and you can make your own pizza for $ 13.95. I settled on the Southwestern, with chicken, barbecue sauce, red peppers, and red onions. It was excellent. The sauce was strong but not overbearing, and there was a lot of chicken and mozzarella cheese. The crust was thin and reasonably firm.
My two dining companions (one of whom suggested going here in the first place since we wanted a non-​chain west end eatery) both had the calzone. Cheese, veggies, and pepperoni in a folded pizza shell came with a tossed salad. The calzones looked huge and seemed full, but nobody seemed particularly excited about them. Although the salad looked large and fresh, one person commented that the salad was awful and had bitter lettuce.
I would definitely come here again for the pizza, if I was looking to go out with friends for some drinks in the west end. Otherwise, i would not suggest going out of your way to come here.
