Neighbourhood pub in mall in St. Albert. Medium size with older décor. Open with large round bar counter which is quite nice. A n of TV screens and some slots. Beer is cheap. Food is good and had nice green beans with the entrée. Definitely an older crowd. No wifi. Seems to be popular with locals. More of a quiet place with some ACDC playing in the background LOL!

Typical neighbor hood style Pub located in a strip mall. Lots of parking, plenty of TVs, busy during big games, mostly an older crowd with what look like a lot of regulars. There is one guy that looks like he nearly lives there. He has been there every time I have been in the pub, has a brief case full of papers and books and sits at the same table. Kind of reminds me of the old TV show Cheers. Staff are friendly and pretty quick though often they seem a little understaffed for the number of clients. Food is average to good pub type menu. It would be pretty easy to bring the food up a few notches and make this place really stand out. Good place for a beer and watch the game with a little food thrown in. Appetizers are well presented and done, mains are a little more pedestrian but plenty edible, just don’t expect to be wowed, they aren’t going to be showing up on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives any time soon.

This is a good place to catch Oiler’s games. The crowds a bit older so you don’t have to worry about having to deal with an obnoxious crowd. They have plenty of big screen TVs that allow for good views of the game. I like how they have a countdown clock for the hockey games and they have free pool on Sundays! It is definitely a pub but allows for more space than the norm. It doesn’t get too loud in here either so if you are looking to catch the game in a relaxed environment, this is the spot.

This is similar to a cozy pub only super sized! It seriously has that pub feel with a dartboard on the back wall, coin pool table(free on Sundays) and lots of tables to sit at. They have several big screen TVs to proudly show the Oilers in action. There are a few VLTs in one corner. They’ve got a decent sized patio — a bit of a surprise for a strip mall pub. It wasn’t very busy when I arrived which according to the countdown clock on the wall was half an hour before an Oilers’ game. The demographic is 30+ I’d say. There were couples that came in that looked about my parents’ ages. A table had some guys around my age, but no one younger than that. They offer a full menu. I ordered an appetizer — mussels — which were pretty tasty though had tomatoes cut up into the dish which I totally wasn’t expecting. They offer daily specials so either check out the board on the way in, ask the wait staff or check the menu.
