Went to Hudsons whyte ave for wednesday karaoke. Got there early and was placed #2 in lineup to sing. As night went on, kept getting bumped further back until was #14 in rotation. Didnt want to wait all nite to sing, so asked DJ why. Was informed that new people were put into rotation in middle of lineup instead of the end? -didnt make sense, especially as I was at beginning of rotation not middle. I eventually gave up and went home. This is not the first time this has happened at other karaoke events. Why do hosts mess up rotation like this and make people who get there early miss out for people who get there late? Everyone has to wait their turn just like we did. Why dont they get added to the end of the line? I watched myself go from #12 at one point and bumpd continuously, after 5 songs was down to # 14. Will not be back! read more

Ambience felt dated. Obvious place built about 20 yrs ago and nothing changed since. Broken tv looks original and toilets need a good wipe of the walls. Food is aspirational: plenty of it and tasty, yet seemed like it could have been better. Hot instead of warm-ish would be a good start. Host super friendly and immediately got Elks game on big, slightly broken, TV screen and Eastern game on smaller screen. Autumn, our server, was professional, friendly and courteous. Best I have had in my memory. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 3 read more

young white waitress peer pressured me into having a tequila shot I didn't want to have. her words "take the shot, grow up" like I'm not already older than you and I'm literally sitting in a bar with my beer... the wings and chips are good over all though. read more

So there are a lot more interesting restaurants to eat at on Whyte Ave. The reason why we went is that they have a nice patio. And with winter coming along the way I thought we should enjoy some Whyte Ave scene outside. Really the patio is great, I wouldn't say the interior of the restaurant is anything special. Our server was great. She was quick, friendly, and helpful. Our water glasses were always filled and she was quick to check on us. The menu is okay. Generally pub food but there is something for everyone though. I am not a pub person and I went with the angry shrimp salad. My husband went with the From Scratch Burger. Food came out quick. My salad was really tasty but I am not sure if the portion or the amount of shrimp was worth the 20 bucks I paid for it. My husband said his burger was agreeable, but again probably not worth the money that he paid. In general, if you are going for a game or a nice patio sure have a few beers and if you are okay with paying slightly more for slightly less, you should be fine. I don't think I will venture her though again unless I need a nice patio. read more

Visited this little gem off Whyte and it was a good experience. While perusing around Whyte Ave, this was the only spot that had parking close by so we visited the pub. Started off with a cider and my friends went with various craft beers. We got some wings and I got the All Canadian burger w/ an extra patty, egg, and a side caesar salad. The food was fairly good, my burger was a bit dry but very delicious. And the wings were good. Our server was very nice and informative; literarily kept the drinks coming in until the minute we left. There were definitely no thirsty folks at my table. Happy dining, and I hope your experience is as good or better than mine if and when you do visit Hudson on Whyte. read more

We gave Hudsons a second chance & are very happy we did! Great fast & friendly service! Was a busy night but the team was on it. Our food was hot & delicious! Ambiance was great, looks like everyone was chatting & having a good time. only minor complaint was the stools are very hard ( was tempted to switch out a cushioned bar stool lol ) but over all, 100% satisfied with our whole experience & we will be back! read more

Always a good time!! Wing Wednesday 39 cent wingz! $5 dollar house beers and wine. My favorite beer is the lumberjack, light and crisp! Hudsons is one of my most frequent spots! Located in the heart of whyte ave this location gets crazy on the weekend and game nights! read more

My friend recommend we come here after our run for a late lunch.The place was nearly empty, however we went in the middle of the afternoon on a wednesday. The waitress was nice and informative, but the service was slow. I had the perogies & sausage and we also split the bacon donuts. The Perogies & Sausage were delicious but it was so greasy i ended up having stomach problems for the rest of day. The donuts were really tasty but extremely sweet. Overall the ambience is there,but the food did not work for me & the service was slow despite only having 3 tables full. I would give it another shot & order something else. read more

Great establishment. A nice place to eat and drink - lively and a wide variety of things to eat, I loved the fact that they have poutine as a side dish for $3. Tasty steak and onion rings. Attractive staff and lots of patrons with Oilers clothing garb. I'm curious if they ever get USA patrons here - like those who try to use their greenbacks and ask what is this in real money-) read more

It was a Saturday night and after trying 6 other places Hudson's was the only place that could seat us and feed us straight away.. we got a booth which if my favourite kind of seating lol.. our waitress was busy but super friendly and attentive throughout our time there. It's a simple menu comfort food type I got the Cajun chicken sambo and some sweet potato fries it was tasty and the bread was nice and fresh. My partner got shepards pie and he thought the same tasty. We were not blown away but it was good pub grub which is expected from Hudson's. Our server suggested we stay or call back for drinks because it was 50% off booze on a Saturday night in Hudson's. That is a pretty cool deal!!! read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today, I ordered the Inside Out Burger and my wife ordered the All Canadian Burger with a couple of ICE COLD Bud Lights. These Burgers were by far the best burgers, juicy and lot of flavour. Our waitress (unfortunately I forgot her name but on the bill it is AZ-6948/15) was great the service was bang on . One tip our waitress gave us is Monday Burgers are $10 We highly recommend this restaurant Greg read more

We went here to watch the grey cup. As a sports bar, it is very good. Lots of TV's, so not a bad spot in the place. The wings, nachos, and beer were all great. They had some original wing flavours. We has maple bacon. Which I found were not as good as they sounded, but my freind liked them. They could use a bit more variety of beer on tap, but we found an amber ale we liked. And finally, everything was very speedy eventhough the place was busy. read more

The best I can do is give this place two stars. The service was fine. The food was the blah, bland pub food you get at many chain restaurants. Started with the pile of onion rings with parmesan beer sauce. These were seved hot and pretty good. Scott had the steak sandwich special. This is a piece of bread (not a whole roll) and a steak served on a plate. Hmmm, don't know how that constitutes a sandwich? His steak was way over-cooked and the Caesar salad side was over-dressed and soggy. I had the angry shrimp salad. I don't know if the cooks were hung-over and forgot how to make this dish but my plate was missing the black beans, corn, cilantro, green onions and had four stale tortilla chips as a garnish (see photo). Not very good and the server never bothered to ask why I did not eat my meal. read more

Great place to watch the game. Better beers than most sports pubs. Better food, for sure. Bison shepherd's pie. Delicious. I was greeted by 3 staff as I walked in. Given plenty of attention. When I had an issue with my dish, the server got one of the managers right away. He was genuinely concerned and settled the matter immediately. Very impressive. Very friendly servers. Loads of TV screens everywhere. Always a good view. Bathrooms were clean. I only wish that the smoke from the outdoors would not waft in to asphyxiate me. On Friday and Saturday, it turns into a dance club after 9:00 or so. This is kind of inconvenient when you are with a table full of friends and you are asked to move so they can rearrange the furniture. Besides, I hate dance music. Other than that, it's a great place to have in the neighbourhood. Wednesdays have half price wine until 6:00pm which is sort of dumb, because I don't drink wine before 6:00pm. read more

I went for lunch with a friend on Friday and decided to have their Steak Sandwich lunch special and a beer. I sat at the bar and I ordered a rare steak. When I got my meal it was cooked medium and marked with the plastic medium rare white flag. I mentioned the error to whom I assume was the head bartender, he simply shrugged and said "we have new cooks and mistakes often happen". No apology, discount etc. I'm sick of paying full price for substandard service, especially when they hand you your bill and expect a premium tip. What for?? Cooking my food wrong and being dismissive about it? Not impressed. read more

Great friendly pub with wonderful managing staff. I came on Wednessday to catch the NBA finals on their wing night. For 39 cent wings (come in 10 per order) they were decent enough to fill you up. My companion and I ordered their whiskey barbeque, honey garlic, salt and pepper, hot, and honey-sriracha. We enjoyed all of them except honey-sriracha. The honey-sriracha does not taste sweet nor spicy. It tasted like bad cheese... would not recommend. Overall, its a nice pub in the heart of Whyte ave. read more

There are not many places I give 5 star reviews to but this is one of them.( Check out my 200 plus reviews. I'll give the best in class places 5 star. The rest fall where they deserve. Including some serious 1 star stinkers, actually Hudson's South Common is a 1 star stinker!) Whyte Ave is a home of a million bars, and a billion places to buy booze. Why has this place destroyed the rest? Here's why I give this name brand pub on Whyte 5 stars. 1. They are not racist or pretentious. The Hudson's in South Common gives peferentional treatment to pretty white girs, while this location does not. If you are a pretty white girl expecting better treatment and no lines this is NOT the location for you. 2. Great Service. I know you might be expecting me to make some sort of sarcastic comment here. I'm not being sarcastic. They have great service. 3.Best Deals and Good Food. Again. While I'm seriously tempted to make some sarcastic smarty pants comment here, I can't. This location seriously treats everybody the same, AND has some of the BEST deals in the city. Come here for the deals, stay because they treat everybody the same. The Hudson's Pub brand is different across Edmonton. Fair Warning! The Whyte avenue branch is awesome while not all of them are! read more

Let's celebrate pride weekend with friends and beer.This place is awesome for wings ( Wednesday special). The food is standard pub fare at reasonable price. music was top forty. had a good time here. The small lot fills quickly but street parking is easy to find. read more

This must be the best pub / club in Edmonton. Best looking patrons who know how to have a good time. Somewhat classier and maybe a LITTLE older crowd than some of the other places. SUPER delicious food Great DJ. After 10:00 (it basically turns from a pub into the best nightclub in Edmonton.) Dance floor is PACKED with beautiful people after 10:00 PM. Very cordial staff that keep the customers safe and keep the riff raff out. This has to be the best bar in Edmonton. Probably the best patio in the city (right on Whyte Ave) I've been to all the clubs and pubs and this is my favourite by far read more

This is a very busy pub to people watch at. I came here with my fam to check out Whyte Ave and this is one of the busiest pubs on the strip. The nachos here are huge! And the beer selection is ok. They have a very large patio section which goes around the corner. I would come back here just for that. read more

We popped in here during the Fringe and the staff was working hard, as the place was slammed. That said, I had to wonder about the management, having only one bartender and one server working late-night during the neighborhood festival that obviously brings decent business to the bar. It took 20-ish minutes to get menus (the server didn't notice us until my friend went to the bar to try to get a menu) and a while longer to get our orders taken, but once that was out of the way, things ran pretty smoothly. We had the nachos (sans tomatoes) and two plates of the pretzel bites and the food all came out well-portioned and hot. As a total nacho snob, I'm always impressed by what you get here (which is great because you're paying about $24). We might have spent longer here than we were planning, but it was worth the trip and gave us extra time to catch up. We'll be back again, probably next Fringe. read more

I could leave my AMAZING review in a 140 character tweet ( see previous HUDSON'S SOUTH COMMON REVIEW FOR THE LAUGH) So me and Samson C. Came out for the Hudson's 1 cent wing bonanza. We were SORELY disappointed by Hudson's south common but we are INCREDIBLY impressed by Hudson's on Whyte. We walked in at 9:15pm, place is BUMPIN', there were so personable, so efficient, we were seated right away. BOOM, order 2 $5 beer and 10 wings a piece. BOOM, they're here. The beers are cold, the wings are hot, as they should be. The staff ARE BUSTING THEY'RE ASS#S. It's all gravy. You might wait for a bit but Hudson's on Whyte 1 cent wing is killing it They're not packing us in like sardines. The staff is BEYOND competent. A manager even popped by to check on us. It's everything you need on a Wednesday 1 CENT WING NIGHT. read more

I would give negative stars if I could. J visited their pub and got a tab. When I left i paid my tab and everything was good. I forgot my card i left with them but realized right away. When u went back to check they waved me 9ff saying I was wrong. I add no no way to get home. They did have my card. They found it right away in my 3rd call My card is still cancelled I'm still fucked. Hudsons is shit I am consulting legal advice read more

Oh, Hudson's. I WANT to give you a better review. I WANT to like you as a destination. But there's just so much you do that others do much, much better. First off, the food is... okay. Acceptable. It hits the spot in a pinch... but I wouldn't exactly call it comfort food. The menu is pretty eclectic too - a strange mix of pub-grub and restaurant fare. It's not often you come across a place that has a chicken-wing special and a steak dinner on the same menu. I'm not sure if that's a point for, or against. The service is... also acceptable. Every time I've been the waitresses have been friendly and helpful, but also distracted. A little too busy, maybe? Regardless, they weren't around often enough to check on drinks, or to take orders and we're left waiting for some longish periods. Moreover, the food takes quite a while to come out. This is not a place you want to go for a quick meal on a busy night. That said, last time I did lunch at Hudson's, the service and food were snappier - so maybe it's an evening thing. The worst though - Hudson's doesn't accept debit. That's actually a huge deterrent for me. I don't usually carry cash, and I don't want to use your crappy ATM that costs me an extra $2.50. If you don't want to accept my debit card, then you don't want my money or my patronage. I say good-day Hudson's on Whyte. read more

This place gets four stars purely based on their location - Whyte Ave has always been an entertaining place to engage in people watching. Other than that, it's a bar. Pretty standard pub fare food, with a decent selection of locally brewed beers. The parking situation (street only) usually doesn't cause me any grief, since I rarely go to Whyte Ave on weekends. Seriously, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a parking spot down there. read more

Like the other Hudson's just not very good. Service is OK, food is OK and well the beer is local. On Whyte there are so many places to try, why settle for something so mediocre. read more

Poor poor service. I'm taking business and do skip the dishes and when other couriers think they deserve a tip and don't accept orders because customers don't tip. I get left over with an order that's 2 hours late. NOT a single person looked at me and they all waited for the manager to come and accuse me of being 2 hours late. Who in their right mind would take that long and waste their own time ? Very poor practice on the night managers part and especially everyone else who pretended I didn't exist. read more

I stopped by for the Holy Puck spiced ale but was disappointed to find out they were sold out for the season till next years winter season. This is one of my favourite places to eat wings so I stayed. Wednesday is their wing night which is 39 cents/wing after 6pm. We started out with happy hour $4.00 off Campfire Poutine (see pic) which is a variation on the Canadian favourite. It has cheese curds, gravy, ground beef, bacon, tomatoes, hot sauce, sour cream and green onions. (Reg 13.25). It is probably the best poutine I've ever had in Alberta. At 6pm we founds some new favorite wings like sticky peanut, (subtle peanut flavoured glaze with chopped cilantro) regular hot and spicy sesame (mildly sweet with mildly hot). Tonight they were on their game and the wings were cooked to perfection with just the right crispiness. The service was standard. Hudsons, please bring back Holy Puck beer for next years Oiler season! read more

Although this location always draws a large crowd, I fail to see the reason why. Service is a little iffy, but the staff tend to be fairly friendly and conscientious. The bartenders can be abrupt at times (asking for a soda or water can get you a major stink eye on a busy night). Food here is bland, overlooked, and boring. Very much what you would expect from a bar. Their salads sound good on the menu but are now where near as nice in reality! Fries are usually on the burnt side... Their only saving grace is their nachos. read more

I went to Hudson's on my 18th and it was amazing!! Ty gave me a great experience for my first night at the bars and I would absolutely recommend anyone attend here for their first time, you will not regret it! read more

Another chain pub... went in with friends at their choosing. Poutine was way too salty, glad i only sampled some from my friends plate. He is a Quebecer and was not impressed. I had a montreal smoked meat sandwich. It was mediocre...marble rye? Was a soft rye bread which is not proper for a real montreal style sandwich. Maybe i am a little critical because my ex used to work at dunns famous deli, and i went in regularly for the real deal. Staff was kind of blahhh... no debit?? Just a cash machine. i guess they prefer to make a profit on this as well, rather than lose .25¢ on the interac fee... Did i give 3 stars??? Make that a 2.5 haha... read more

Loved this place on my birthday! Friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Loved the drinks, overall an amazing experience.

Reasonably nice place. Service was friendly and attentive. It reminded me very much of the Hudson's downtown. The washrooms are down a flight of stairs, so unfortunately the place is not accessible for all. I only stopped in for something quick (and non-alcoholic) to drink, so there is not much more I can really say. read more

I look at these kind of bar chains the same way I would look at a two hour flight. As long as I arrive at my destination in decent shape I'm good! No luxury required at all, just make sure the washroom works. One cannot expect rare craft beer or high calibre cocktails. One cannot expect rare characters the should be captured in book form. One cannot expect discussions about world events or the history of the rare scotch you are drinking. I'm in Hudson's I'm going to drink a Corona, probably do a shot of shot of crappy tequila at some point and the deepest thing going on here is likely the "ski shot." Today I just wanted to look at people play pretty, dance to top 40 (new school and old school music) and hang out with friends. That is exactly what I got and Hudson's delivered. Knew what I was getting and got! read more

Hudsons Whyte is consistent with the chain's other locations, which is to say that it's generally good food, generally served by pleasant staff. The few negative experiences I've had here have been mitigated by understanding management and a desire to make things right, so I really can't complain. Hudsons is a great rest stop if you're strolling down Whyte and in the mood for some boneless wings or a pint! read more

Just a disclaimer to start this off, as a teetotaler my review has absolutely nothing to do with the alcohol. Also, I was provided vouchers for free food, but I try not to let this affect my review. I have come here twice for the food, mainly chicken wings. Their traditional Caesar wings is great, it has excellent flavour even if it is a bit greasy, and the servers are kind enough to provide little wet wipes for that. Their honey garlic wings are quite nice too! And they both come with a nice side of celery and dip, which pairs quite well. As a teetotaler I've only tried their sodas, but it's quite a nice touch that the sodas are bottomless and very reasonably priced. I expect this is to promote sensible and sober driving. My main recommendation is to try to come in when it's less busy - the noise levels can quite easily get out of hand in this place, and the servers are very attentive when the place isn't too packed. read more

They are having a promotion, anytime the temp hits over 23 you get a free order of wings. So it was packed when I met up with my wife and some friends and we had a booth which was rare, but they got there early. With it being as busy as it was, I can understand that service is going to be hit, so I can't fault them too much. But my wife had to ask numerous times for her water, not once did it have the lemon that she requested. They didn't have enough napkins at the table and had to wait a while for them as well. The wings were good, they've added some new flavours, the maple bacon was amazing! read more

This was my second time here. The first time was a few years ago while traveling for work in Edmonton. They first time wasn't very memorable I guess but I did remember this place because of the great location and cold beer. When we first came in there was nobody to seat us or point us in the right direction so after asking the bartender we seated ourselves. After taking a seat at our table of choice we waited about 15 minutes before getting any service. The server finally came after I complained to the bartender. It was easy to forgive our waitress because she was smoking hot. Once we got service it was fine thereafter. Very friendly and attentive. As for the food, the wings were the special of the day and they had multiple flavoring options. When asked if I get a couple different flavors in one order I was told I could not. I understand it is a pain for them but I still think them not doing it is kind of petty. Anyways, no big deal. As far as the wings go they were pretty dang small but very tasty. I would come back in the future if I was in the area and didn't know where to eat at. Overall though not the best experience I've ever had at a Pub like eatery. read more
