I used to work for Marcy both as a contractor and as a Karaoke Host. She ripped me off for a bunch of my framing and drywall tools working on the cafe next door. Then, bans me for no reason. I'm glad I don't go there anymore, it's a den for h**kers and drug dealers.

Really cool environment inside. Reminds me of some 90s Nintendo game! Cheapest bar in town. I've been probably a handful of times and I've never seen any single women there. I wouldn't go here trying to find a gf or wife. Lmfao 😆 They have decent food from what I've tried. I'll go back from time to time.

I did some work for this owner a little while back. I have NEVER seen such a clean back of house. Some corporate and private restaurants should be ashamed that a "dive" bar's kitchen is cleaner then their kitchens. I think the dirtiest that kitchen has ever been, was because of me.
Speaking of Dive Bars, I always say that it should be a theme. This is the place that proves a "Dive Bar" can be a theme. Came here a couple times since working for her, and damn. You can taste the clean in their food. I honestly think I've enjoyed my food here then most restaurants, having personal knowledge of how clean the kitchen is.. And I have seen a lot of kitchens in this city and in Calgary..
5 stars for cleanliness, since it's not an option.
I moved to Edmonton 3 and a half, 4 years back, and this has been my spot since. I tried going to other local pubs and bars to me (Mona Lisa's, Wing's, Smilie's/Touchdowns/whatever it's actually called?) and they just do not have the same vibe or personal touch. I quit drinking for a bit, and still came here. It's like going to a buddy's house, this is not just another bar/pub business. The 4 big points are Staff, Customers, FOOD!, and Karaoke (now that I'm singing and breaking out of my shell). There is only 1 negative I can think of, and it's not even about the place. I'm not the biggest fan of The Ave. (Honestly, simple solution, just keep to yourself when walking there. Problems only follow those who follow them. Once on site, I honestly feel 'safer', in the sense that the Owner doesn't let the problems enter the site. Check your s**t at the door, you know?)
1. The regulars are awesome and accepting of new patrons. The Duster's family, as I refer to the regulars, are an amazing bunch of people, with all sorts of personality. 2. The food is amazing, their kitchen is the cleanest I've ever seen. Try the Chef's in-house Pizza special ($5 with any drink, non-alcoholic included). $5 shots across the board, cheap beers. 3. Management and staff are so personal, you know you'll be treated like a friend, instead of as a "customer". They host events as well, that just keep you coming back. 4. Karaoke every night as well! (Come listen to me sing terribly! I say that jokingly, but everyone there knows I haven't sang until very recently. The support I got, despite how bad I felt I sang, was AMAZING. Again, the family here is amazing) Even the maintenance guys and bouncers are friendly awesome guys. I personally have beef with one of the bouncers, but within the bar, you would never know. The owner only hires professionals, and you can tell.
Summery: Best Pub In this area, heck I'd say City. As the song goes, I love this bar!

I come here on my lunch break to get the 5 dollar pizza special with the purchase of any drink. I have tried the other menu items, all of the menu is worth trying. Pizza special doesn't have to be beer for drink, I get orange pop with my pizza. 8 dollars total, tip the waitress 2. As a driver for a delivery job, this is perfect price and location halfway along my route, its only a ten out of pocket. Chef knows what they're doing, I think worked in a restaurant kitchen before.
Parking: large parking space out back, 2 street side parking lines.

Had to come edit as I've spent more time here... I have to give a shout out to both Star and Ash as they also were very friendly and prompt in service...got to try some food...fries cooked perfectly, awesome deal on wings...wasn't crazy about the chicken fingers
If you are looking for a friendly down to earth dive pub, this is the place...our server, Mel, was on top of her game, friendly and always had a smile...even though the place was busy The only downside is there is no tip option on the debit machine?? (When its working)...this to me, as a past server, is disturbing...just how much money are the servers losing because of this...we all know that servers typically make minimum wage and compensate their low wages with tips...
