Tipsy Moose Pub & Kitchen - Edmonton, Alberta

This restaurant had a great atmosphere and the food was actually quite good. We had the cheeseburger with bacon which is extra. Wanted mushrooms as well but they had run out. We also got the pulled pork sandwich which again was quite good. It was juicy and not overly sweet. The fries were decent. All though good we did feel the sandwiches were a bit small for the higher price. Also wasn't impressed to be charged $1.50 for hot sauce when we asked without being told. Being a bar we figured they would bring a bottle or something. Will try again though since overall it was pretty good.

We had steak sandwiches that were cooked to order. Good portions and great entertainment. Normally, I would have to trek to whyte, but finally, I can hear live music near my neighborhood on the SS.

We visited on a Friday evening around dinner time. There was one waitress and one bartender, but we were greeted promptly and found a nice booth. I ordered the spaghetti with chicken and a Parmesan fries appetizer, while my guest had steak with fries. I ordered a Coke, and my guest opted for a beer. The drinks arrived in a reasonable time, though I had to wait longer than expected for refills.

When the food arrived, I was surprised by the small portion sizes, especially the Parmesan fries, which cost over $10 and were just regular fries with a bit of Parmesan cheese on top. My entire dish had a strange taste—I struggled to finish the chicken and couldn’t eat the spaghetti. My guest enjoyed the steak but mentioned the lack of a steak knife.

For dessert, we each ordered an apple crisp. While the presentation was nice, the apples were too sour, and overall, the dessert was disappointing.

The decor is really nice and the staff are very friendly but the service and food fall short. I'd love to try it again some other time to see if I have a different experience.

It was my first time today and I don’t regret going at all! We had beer and nachos. The nachos were delish and great! Servers were really nice and friendly.
Overall it was great experience with good vibes.
Will definitely recommend and go back.

I really wanted to love the Tipsy Moose—everything about it seemed perfect for our group—but after our experience on Friday night, we won’t be returning. We had a reservation for 10 people, but when we arrived, they told us they had accidentally given our spot to someone else. We appreciated them moving tables to make room for us, but they squeezed 10 chairs around a 6-person table, and we were pushed up against the wall. We worked with it, though, because we were really looking forward to the live music and good company.

Unfortunately, things only went downhill from there. We waited about 30 minutes for drinks, and when they finally arrived, they were wrong. Our glasses were often empty and our server never addressed the entire table at once to get our orders. Our food came out at different times, and we waited over an hour just for French fries. After two hours of poor service, we asked for a manager. They switched servers, and our new server did her best to make things right—she was great, honestly.

Then, the worst part of the night happened: when one of the guys in our group took a drink from a beer tower he’d ordered, and it was full of something moldy and slimy. One of the ladies in our group even got sick after seeing it. The server was shocked and disgusted by it, but management didn’t seem to take it seriously at all. It was clear the beer tower hadn’t been cleaned properly, the whole situation left us feeling unsettled. The photos we took were too gross to share. The guys even took the tower apart …disgusting.

After that, we asked for our bills, standing for 30 minutes waiting for someone to get back to us, when one of the ladies in our group went to speak with a manager, and they told us to just leave—they’d comp everything. We had tried to give them the benefit of the doubt after speaking with both the Managers/Owner, but by the end of the night, we all agreed we won’t be coming back.

On the positive side, the music and atmosphere were fantastic, and the food was actually quite good when we finally got it. Everyone was hoping this would be a great spot for our group meet ups, but sadly, this experience won’t bring us back. I hope they can improve, as it really has potential

We had the Buffalo wings and parm fries. Fries were excellent but the aioli dip was disappointing, mostly mayonnaise. Wings were dry and lukewarm and the Buffalo sauce was weak. Service was attentive but not too friendly, but eager to get us to pay the bill. Looks like the servers made the drinks, so there was no bartender on duty - meh. Live entertainment was excellent. Nice to see a pool table! I hope to hear of improvements.

We decided to give this new neighborhood pub a try. It’s a really nice open space. High ceilings. Friendly atmosphere. It’s only day two so they’re still in the soft opening phase so my expectations were not high. Our server was friendly and full of energy. Very welcoming. We liked her.
Our food. She had mushrooms penne with chicken which she enjoyed. It was a bit too saucy with everything floating in a cream sauce but the flavor was there so not a big deal.
I usually order a burger or wings but wanted to give some of their mains a try so I went with the Beef Stroganoff. My first bite had me reconsidering my choice. This dish perhaps, as is, does not belong on the menu. The egg noodles don’t lend anything to the dish. Maybe a different pasta would work. The one thing that turned me off about this dish was the beef. The texture was all wrong. I’m not sure what they use for beef but this tasted like fake beef. Like the meatballs you get in canned soup. Weird texture. This ruined the dish for me.
The slushy drinks were bland. They looked promising but there was not really and flavor. They needed something more. Disappointing.
In closing this is only day two of being open so I’m not wanting to be too negative. Hopefully management accepts this as constructive criticism. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves as the space has a lot of promise. Just a few kinks to work out.

What a great place!! Went yesterday to have a couple drinks to celebrate my sons 18th birthday and wow!! Our server was amazing (can’t recall her name but she had short blond hair)
Played some pool and took in the atmosphere ! If it hadn’t been so smoky we would have sat outside … next time
Also didn’t try the food as we already had dinner plans but again … next time!!!!❤️
