The Bend Lounge - Edmonton, Alberta

Overall a great little local place. It can get super busy and not have anywhere to sit some nights. I've been for kaoroke and it's packed. The food is relatively good, a few limiting options though if you have any dietary restrictions. Service is okay. Not bad but not amazing ... or anything. I miss the Covid patios! Read more

We had never been here before and we were going out to celebrate something big with our family. We had all been wanting to try this neighborhood pub for a while, so we thought why not have our little celebration at this pub! I wish we didn't. Unfortunately the service ... was absolutely terrible. The food was just ok, we had wings and pickle chips and they were good, but the artichoke dip is terrible. And honestly, because we were all in good moods & wanting to celebrate - we ended up having not a great time because of the service. We felt uninvited, unwelcomed and unwanted. Read more

Had the soup as a starter, probably would have been better if it was hot, had the beef dip with fries. The beef dip was loaded with beef, fries were fresh cut but definitely fried in old old. The beef dip was good. I didn't complain about the soup ... or fries to the server (Tina) who was great. Just my opinion on the fries/oil...would I return that's questionable... Read more

Went out to have a good night , and paid for it for two days later. Pretty sure I got food poisoning from some oddly warm dip and pickle chips. Keep an eye on your food temperatures!! :-/ The karoke host was sweet and fun otherwise.

The environment was chill and the staff were very friendly. Refills were fast and plentiful. The fish tacos were good. I liked the crunch and the variety of toppings. I think it needed a bit stronger sauce though. Maybe thicker and more spice? The fries were very interesting. They were ... beautiful and crunchy, but they were all crunch. I like my fries crunchy on the outside with soft potato on the inside, so I enjoyed them a bit less. If you love crunchy fries though you'll love these. The gravy was wonderful. It had peppercorns!
