We were looking for an easy lunch and stumbled upon this spot. I'm so glad we came in. It was shortly after open so they weren't super busy, and we snagged a spot on their patio. I got their brunch bowl and it was HUGE. The flavors were fantastic. My husband ended up with the pretzel breaded chicken tenders and woahhhh you could really taste the pretzel I was obsessed with them. Not sure what the mixed reviews are because we had a great experience. Prices were fair and they seemed to have good drink specials too! read more

Hudsons Canada's Pub - Breakfast bowl - Chicken Wings Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

High priced flavourless food. Good staff. High priced booze. Not insane prices but still not good. Happy hour is of course decent. Comfortable and nice, loud of course. read more

We had a great lunch at Hudsons. My husband had the steak sandwich and the steak was perfect. The onion ring was outstanding. I know sounds funny to compliment the onion ring but it was delicious. I had the pulled pork. It was good the bbq sauce was a bit sweet for my liking but it was as described on the menu. The salad with it was terrific. Nice spot good food. read more

I love this place! I first stumbled upon Hudson's while I was in Edmonton for work and since we don't have them in BC, I've craved for it since. This place has it all, happy hour, chill vibes, great drinks, and good food. While in Calgary last week my family and I decided to come here for a dinner before our trek back to Banff. We ordered happy hour food (everything in the snacks section of their menu is 1/2 off). Pretzels, dry ribs, and deep fried pickles. Entrees were the Korean lettuce wraps, pulled pork sandwich, & the buffalo chicken dip. ALL DELISH! I highly recommend coming to Hudson's because they will not disappoint! read more

I live next to this place. Would highly recommend trying the orange creamsicle beer they have on tap. The food is out of the world amazing. If you can go on a Thursday it's all-day happy hour. read more

I'm not sure that I should be reviewing Hudson's, since I don't know how representative my feelings about this place are. I had a throughly mediocre time here, but if I were to judge from the fact that there was already a lengthy line to get in at 9:30p, and still a line at 1:00a, then I have to admit that this place apparently resonates with a lot of people. In any case, Hudson's is currently Calgary's resto-pub hotspot, with a thriving happy hour and an even more thriving night-out scene on weekends (and possibly during the week) . The food is typical pub fare, the drinks are priced at a small premium, and the crowd is 20-35, 97% white, and 98% drunk. The dance floor is small, and the music was poorly selected and even more poorly mixed (think bad frat party) on the Friday night that I was there. If this were my kind of scene, I might rave about Hudson's. As it is, though, I find it unimaginative, dull, and an unwanted throwback to my university days. read more

I love this bar! I moved to Calgary couple months ago, and since the first time I visit Hudsons it was a good experience. Food is delicious, they have a great variety of beer and my favorite part...the service is great! I sometimes just go for a beer at the bar alone and the girls at the bar are very friendly. I highly recommend this place! Oh! And btw their blackboard at the entrance is really funny, it really makes me laugh all the time! read more

This one of my fave pub/club? Though quite expensive its quite understandable due to its location. Such a beautiful venue and always a great time. I'm not sure if its because of the place or the people you're with but it's a great place all in all. One of my favorites here is the patio open during summer times yet if you decide to stay in, its always okay. Theres bunch of tvs and a lot to see since the bar is literally in the middle of everything. And theres a small dance floor in the corner which I think is great it doesn't intrude to the ones who just wanted to talk and spend good time together. Friendly staff. The food though nothing special and the price is just reasonable. Not much to say or comment on. When it gets way tooo too crowded, thats where everything pretty much falls apart. The music gets loud and loud or initially is already loud, therefore conversations becomes nearly imposible. Beautiful place though! read more

Hudsons Canada's Pub - Love this place always a good tim3! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Not good. Rude staff Was trying to pickup order. They sent me to a corner. 16 minutes later i asked waitress if my order was ready? She snapped at me. She said go back to the corner. Because it was busy staff was the shits. Learn how to kiss your customers ass please! read more

Best food, best service, manager Nalder is awesome! Very personable, outgoing. Oh hell...all the staff here rocks. Great place too for birthday parties :) read more

Stopped here randomly during a walk for lunch. Sitting at the bar, I received quick service and had the beer sampler which was very good. I ordered the steak, which was on special. Medium rare, the best temperature. I'm generally very iffy when ordering steak, as it's screwed up 90% of the time I do. I took that chance. Well, it was terrific. Juicy, delicious and perfectly cooked. I went at the thing like a hungry lion. The atmosphere is good, the service is great and the steak is yummy. Cows are going to be hiding in fear now that I know where to get great slabs of them. read more

Your average pub . Pub fare food. They have happy hour 3-6 pm weekdays. Had a bacon burger with salad. It was quite good. Very quiet in the daytime. But I'm sure it gets going at night read more

I go here for drinks and to eat sometimes and have always had consistently good service. Nothing extremely memorable but my expectations are met. Waitresses have always been friendly and attentive. The food is better than I expect for pub food and they have a good selection of beer. Prices are on par. read more

I loved Gerry's (and miss it), so I vowed never to set foot in Hudson's. Well, a couple weeks ago a friend asked me to meet her there...I was so disappointed! The interior looks nice enough (dark wood paneling and canadiana-kitsch art) but it was full of drunk yuppie bros and I was not feeling the vibe at all. The music ranged from shit I could get behind (Gnarls Barkley) to completely inane (soulDecision?!) and at 9pm when I got there, was so loud I had to yell over it. There were tonnes of tvs all turned to the same thing--sports! The menu was fairly comprehensive, some dishes with cute local names, but kind of expensive and not very friendly to this vegetarian! I ended up getting some 11.00 potato skins but paying that much for 6 wedges was kind of a rip-off, though they tasted fine. I convinced my friend to hoof it out of there and we headed over to the hop-in-brew for a much nicer scene. what a relief! read more

**This review rating is subject for me being there when Hudsons isn't in club-mode (aka late night)** I've always enjoyed Hudsons locations as they usually have great food for fairly cheap prices. This location did not disappoint me and had great wait staff that were very friendly and outgoing. There was lots of room in the place, so our large party group was easily seated in the back area of the bar. We were able to socialize in a relatively average level of background noise so we could still talk. Fast forward to a couple of hours later, we're asked to move to the front of the pub so that they could close the back. This was a bad sign. Cue club mode. I had spent enough time at other Hudsons to know that you should leave when it's converting to club mode but it's normally not as bad as this location. The way this Hudsons is laid out, you cannot continue conversation at that point. Just pack up and head out. Come to Hudsons for lunch, supper, or early night drinks but plan to head somewhere else before it gets too late. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. There is a good vibe about this place. I would go again!

It was okay. The service was okay at first but dropped off over the course of the night. The TVs were way too loud. Conversation was next to impossible. Some annoying announcer kept talking (even louder than the TVs) every 20 minutes or so. It sounded like Lynch from X92.9. He was annoying, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was. I probably wouldn't come back here. read more

I like the Shawnessy Hudsons better than this one. This one has a weird layout. And is smaller. But whatever, I still go. Why, you ask. Well, you'll have to read the rest of the review and get to the end to find out. There is a massive lineup every weekend! Its ridiculous! I hate lineups, so I usually go around 7 or 8. The music is always so damn loud its impossible to talk to the person sitting right next to you without yelling so much that you're hoarse by the time you leave the pub. But you know what I gotta say? They do have a great atmosphere. Everyone always looks like they're SO HAPPY to be there and they're having SUCH A GREAT TIME DUDE! The service is always good - the waitresses are friendly and on top of their game, even though the place is packed like sardines in a can. Why do I go there? I got gift certificates to use up. QUITE a few of them. And they all expire end of this year. So there is a good chance I'll end up here this weekend. If you're there too, come say hi. I'll buy you a beer. 20/30 read more

The food is pretty good, but the service is unreasonably slow. We've stopped coming here before movies/concerts because we're guaranteed to be late as a result of the slow service. Though the service is slow, it is friendly. read more

You can catch me here every Monday night. A great place to socialize. There is musical flavor for everyone from Country to Gritty Hop Hop. The crowd is generally friendly, I notice quite a bit of regulars every week. Avoid the dance floor if you're literally rubbing against anyone from all sides since I notice since I've been going a few altercations (Mainly in the dance floor) read more

Came to Hudsons on a Wednesday night, same day I arrived in Calgary to meet with some friends for wing night and apparently, Wing's are big in Calgary on Wednesday. Wing Wednesdays at Hudsons is $0.25 wings! WHERE DO YOU FIND THAT IN LA? Even Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesday nights for Wing Tuesdays is $0.55 per wing! So as my buddy and I are waiting for more friend, our friendly, Stampede themed waitress asked us about drinks and I ordered a pint of Alexander Keiths (because we don't have that in the States and I had it at a Blue Jay game). After that beer I was getting a little hungrier and I ordered some wings (orders of 10) and because I am in Canada, I had to represent so I got the Maple BBQ sauced ones, and it was pretty delicious a tad on the sweeter side. I then ordered a local Calgary beer for my second drink a Wild Rose Raspberry Ale and it was a nice beer, different from ShockTop Raspberry that it wasn't as flavorful but it was really light, clean, natural tasting and full of natural raspberry taste. Then ordered 20 more wings and 10 of them I got Honey Garlic and 10 of them Ancho Chipotle. For the Honey Garlic wings I didn't really taste the garlic just tasted the honey and it was STI-ICK-Y, the Ancho Chipotle was nice in that it wasn't too spicy had a nice smokiness to it probably from the ancho or chipotle or both, and it had a nice slight kick to it. My last drink of the night is another Canadian beer from the Maritimes, in New Brunswick... this beer reminds me of a Sea Dog Blue Paw and it was tasting a bit like Dimetapp at first but I enjoyed t towards the end. During the night, apparently there was an explosion at SHAW (internet, cable, phone service provider) so the credit card machines were down at the time, but the waitresses handled it awesomely and resorted back to carbon copy ruling the credit card which I have not seen in ages! The waitresses were pretty responsive to our needs and brought us a bucket for utensils and wet naps and we could even use the bucket for the bones of the wings. I really enjoyed this Hudstons and will definitely be returning. **The wings here are great as in their not overly breaded unlike some other places, in fact their not breaded at all but super crispy** read more

Came here late on a Friday night so the place was in full club mode. Therefore didn't get a chance to try the food. It was fine for what it was. The DJ was good. I felt old, but the crowd was good and I just stayed out of their way and enjoyed my drinks with my friends. read more

Starting off by saying I will likely update this to a 5, but for now the only food I had during their Friday happy hour prices were the wings (2 plates of hot, one plate of the maple rub) - coupled with way too many vodka/sodas. I walked in thinking that even if not that great I would will it to be great because it is across the street from my building and would likely come here often. I was quite surprised as to how large it was but at the same time feeling warm - probably all the wood and level of lighting. Plenty of TVs for sports, and seemed like they had a long list of beers to choose. Sat in the back and the hostess was super cool about changing one of the screens from hockey (a hanging offense, but my Mets were playing game 3 of World Series) to the baseball game. The waitress, Annie, was amazing - quick to suggest specials, types of wings, letting us know which liquor was included in the special and just a general overall friendliness I've come to expect in Canada. The rest of the menu items were very intriguing, will be back soon for some heavier fare and my expectations are high. read more

I had the opportunity to try the fare here at Hudsons due to a corporate function. We had their cheap wings - honey garlic and salt and pepper - and a huge platter of nachos. The wings were not bad. Comes with a ranch dip. The nachos were just OK. It looks like a huge pizza of nachos. The only thing I didn't like was that the dips were not brought out with the nachos so we had to wait for a bit. Meanwhile the nachos got cool. Didn't taste right then. Then we ordered our lunch items. I had their Top sirloin steak, rare with double steamed brocolli, sauteed mushrooms, sweet potato fries and aioli. It was not bad. The meat was not seasoned enough for me and had to dip in HP sauce. I didn't order any alcohol so I can't comment on that. The wait staff was kinda attentive especially when it came to drinks. Lots of TVs for sports events. Lots of Canadiana hung on the walls all over the restaurant. read more

Hudson's ofers a large space, jammed with tables and big screen tv's on top of cold drinks and okay food as far as I know. That's all I wanted last night when I went in there. I had my jersey on and I was going to support my team while having a few drinks with friends. With indifferent expectations, I ordered the quesadilla for a little in between beer snacks. I feel like I've been throwing this around a lot lately, but it was seriously the Best Quesadilla I have ever eaten. Large fresh slices of tomato and avacado with corn, black beans, cilantro and nice chunks of juicy chicken. I didn't eat that MF'er with a drop of salsa or sour cream either, I liked it so much. Black beans have really stepped up their game on my pallet lately. Way to go Hudson's. read more

Good atmosphere. Everyone on earth seems to love this place right now. I dislike how busy it gets late at night, but that's not really a bad thing now is it?! The food and service are average for a pub. I don't typically think "LETS GO TO HUDSONS", unless someone else I know will be going there! read more

We went out with friends for drinks and wings (they chose the place this time) on a Thurs night at 730pm and we had a great time! Initially it was very loud inside, the games were blasting from the TVS and the last table in the place that we scored had a speaker right above it. Yes, I lost my voice over the course of the night but we had so many laughs it was worth it. It quieted down a bit a little later on. The service was amazing for an hour or so until our waitress was off duty - so we paid our tab and were ignored after that until we flagged someone else down. No complaints about the wings really - they were half price and had about 10 flavors to choose from. I highly recommend the Ancho Chipotle and also the Maple Whiskey BBQ wings. Very good. Ooh, and so was the salt and pepper wing that I tried. And the hot wing... yummy! The wings were smaller but still meaty, fresh and not overcooked as you find at other places that are just cranking them out. The drinks were half off too on some beers and all wines except for the most expensive red and white on the menu. I was very happy with my 5oz glasses of sweet German white to go with the wings. Our table killed 6 baskets (1 pound of wings = 10 wings or so) and then we ordered a basket of fries after that. They were so good! We were told that the kitchen changed to red skin potatoes which just make for a darker, tastier fry, skins on! The tables next to me got nachos and the platters were huge and looked sooo good! Next time... For as many people as there were in this place, it was very clean and the bar-like decor was modern and pleasant to the eye. My friend also said the washrooms were surprisingly clean! We have stayed away from here for 2 years since we moved the area for seemingly no good reason! Now that we know how awesome it is for just kicking back with friends, we will be back!!! read more

Extremely friendly, quick service, even during busy times! Delicious beer, 6.25 for a pint HUGE nacho servings, overall good food, a little higher priced that ordinary pubs but good! Some booths have private tvs - excellent! Attractive interior. Overall setting - very easy to spend hours and hours drinking your way across Canada :) read more

Hmm... such a strange concept of a place. It appears to be a nice pub with good drinks and a nice menu. However, stay long enough and the place transforms into a hipster dance floor of tiny proportions. Those who were there to sit and chat and drink get their ears blasted by the speakers for the small dance floor. It becomes unbearable. Hudson's needs to find an identity and stop trying to be both a pub AND a club. read more

Some girlfriends of mine set up a double birthday party there for myself and another friend. They had reserved us a booth. Upon arrival we decided it was not in a great spot(right next to the dance floor and not big enough), so the manager moved us to a big back corner booth. He also gave both us birthday girls each a $30 gift card for and a round of shooters for all that were in attendance with us at that time, which was about 10 of us. I've been to Hudson's a few times and I always have fun there. I like the pub atmosphere with the option of going dancing if you choose... although if you leave it to super late it's like dancing in a sardine can. The dance floor is pretty tiny for how big the place is. If you plan to go there, go before 9/9:30 or you're more than likely waiting in line up. I've never seen that place not busy. Even one Monday night I was out for food with a friend and it was still rather busy. No line up, but busy. A number of the Stampeders players were out that night for food and drinks. Its was fun watching the grown men sitting next to us ack like a bunch of groupies. I've never not had a good time at Hudson's and my birthday party was a very memorable night! read more

Went for the first time tonight. Terrible service. Ordered Nachos and a soda. Nachos were decent but never saw server again until I paid the bill. I went and got my own refill from the bar. read more

Hubby and I went there for dinner last night and we loved the place. Great atmosphere, friendly service with even some drink recommendations thrown in. Food was seriously tasty - it is not always easy to find someone that knows how to make a proper poutine outside so to find one that reminds me of those four provinces away is astounding. I doubt we'll ever be in there on a Friday or Saturday night when it feels a little bit more like a club but we will be back read more

Hudsons Canada's Pub - Chicken Wings Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I ate at that this place for the first time yesterday. I ordered the fish and chips. I have to say the meal was probably the best fish and chips I have ever eaten. I am a former maritimer and I KNOW my fish and chips. The batter was crispy and not at all greasy. The fries were crispy and done to perfection. The service was five star, staff friendly, the place was spotless. I can't wait to go back and try another item on the menu. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a meal that will totally satisfy any palette . read more

My husband and his co-workers booked Hudson's for a birthday celebration ! Three of them were having birthdays that week and based on YELP reviews, Hudson's seemed like a good spot. The table that was reserved had balloons on it and the three birthday guests received 30$ gift cards! What is cooler than that!! The service was actually really great and there was trivia and prizes based on the Flames and the Jets (who were playing that night on all the tvs) There wasn't a bad spot in the house to watch the game, and the big screen in the back was super clear and awesome. Little chicks in referee outfits went around getting everyone to fill out a little form to guess who would score the first goal for the Flames- too fun. I ordered the maple syrup and bacon poutine. Ohhhh boyyyyy. My arteries were clogged and I'm pretty sure my heart stopped, but I was in heaven. Cheese, warm maple syrup and yummy fresh fries with crispy bacon pieces. Aaaa ouuuuu gaaaaaa! I will definitely be going back for wings and another game night. Don't know if I'll head there on a Fri or Sat night though as a line was forming when we left :S read more

Went to Hudsons for a midweek lunch, since it is so close to the office. Service was great, seated quickly and visited by the kitchen manager halfway though the meal "just making sure we were happy". Food was fair, but I have to say that I am not their target demographic. Ordered the hot dog, cause I love Hot dogs, and because everything else on the menu just seemed like too much. (it seems every place with in walking distance of my beltline office is geared for 250 lb man appetites, and expense account budgets. Seriously, just because Earl's has decided to audaciously raise prices and lower quality, why must everyone else?) So...I should have read the description more carefully. Deep fried all beef battered wiener, beer mustard (tasted like cheese sauce from a pump), bacon jalapenos and fresh tomatoes. Really? Nothing was wrong, it was all fresh and tasty enough separately, but I just did not understand nor enjoy it all together. Next time, I will walk further and hopefully find a hot dog stand. Sigh read more

Me and my friends who were from out of town decided to go to Hudsons on a sat night around midnight, inside was okay, but the one bouncer out side told us to line up, me being a little tipsy but not obnoxious at all said "what line i don't see a line" and actually there was no line! He just wanted us to stand on the other side of this rope shit. After my reply he said before we were even in the bar that if I kept it up i would get kicked out..... well first thing i wasn't even in the bar yet and how rude. My poor friends did not get a nice visit in what suppose to be a friendly Canadian Tap house and even making Calgary look like shit. The bouncers over heard this one bouncer and apologized right away for his behavior but it still leaves me with a sour taste unlike any beer i have tasted.... read more

Came here with an old university friend for some pub food and beer! Tonight (Tuesday) was east coast night meaning fish and chips (a few bucks off) and shrimp basket ($2.50 for 12 shrimp) a steal was great! TV's had sports on. I was more tired tha. Hungry so I had the shrimp basket plus a Caesar salad. I asked the waitress if the Caesar was overly garlicky and she stated "not really". Shrimp was great but Caesar was pretty strong garlic. Maybe that's my fault for ordering but oh we'll. One other small suggestion is the smell of stale beer plus unpleasant smell was not overpowering but definitely noticeable! Price of food was decent! Beer price average! Not too shabby! read more

Went for Wednesday wing night which starts at 6:00pm. Good selection of pub food and beer with nightly drink specials. Service was good. The place wasnt overly busy but it has been on other occasions when the Flames are playing. Good value for money at this central location with ok parking a block away. read more
