If you're craving a good smash burger and a time-travelling trip back to the 1970s, this is the…read moreplace for you! I was visiting Edmonton on a work trip and was brought here by a coworker. What a hoot! I had a smile on my face from the moment we walked in til we left. There's nothing like being time warped into the 1970s and watching old cartoons and advertisements on the TVs while eating your dinner or having a drink. Everything from the color scheme to the light fixtures to the trinkets collected behind the bar screams 1970s, and made for a fun, goofy, comforting nostalgia. We started with drinks at the bar while we waited for a table. They have a good selection of local brews as well as cocktails. Even the names of the drinks made me smile. I got the "dirty shiddy martini." Then we moved to our table in the "rumpus room." The menu is no-frills and straightforward. Not a ton of options, but you're there for a burger! They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options to make everyone happy. We each got a burger Alabama style, split some fries with "flat sauce," and added a giant pickle on a stick for shids and giggles. Delicious, it all hit the spot! Staff is friendly and quick. It will be busy when you go so just enjoy the experience!

Went here yesterday to see an open mike thing with my friend. We got in around 10, when some…read morestand-up acts were on. The acoustics weren't great (hard to actually hear the jokes) but then again it's a bar, so I wasn't expecting much. I used to live in this area, but never went here. This bar seems like a pretty decent pub to hang out at if you live close by. Keith's were on special yesterday, $4.25 a pint, not bad. I didn't order the food, but my friend's coworker ordered pizza and it did smell pretty yummy. What is it about drinking that makes one want to have pizza? With the open mike thing going on the place was pretty busy, I imagine it would be a bit quieter on a normal Wednesday. Can't say I'd go out of my way to get here, but I'd come back.

Friday and Saturday nights are karaoke nights and it gets pretty fun.

Once you go a couple of times you will start frequenting it more and more.

As Greasy as the End Zone, but the people aren't quite as scary. They've got a couple of pool tables and the selection of the songs in the juke box is alright. The beer is always less than $4. The beer prices are reasonable. The food prices are incredible. As long as you buy a beer, you can get a hamburger for 99 cents. They're not your luxury home burger but they're still good: covered in bacon, cheese and mushrooms. Without the beer they're $2. The Spring rolls cost $6, you can get a huge plate of onion rings for $4. Hello, is this the '80s?! Retro prices and your average pub experience, but what else are you looking for from a local drinking hole. They have pay-per-view sporting events if you're into boxing or ultimate fighting, VLTs if that's your thing. The servers are always friendly and know all the regulars. It's all right.

She was kind, thoughtful, speedy and friendly. The best server we have had in a long time. A great menu. It pretty basic Italian, appetizers, pizza, and pasta with a good wine menu. We decided to start with Whipped Ricotta with brioche bread, which was rich and delightful. My kiddo went with the Spaghettini Bolognese. I had the mini margarita pizza, and my husband went with the four meat. The food came out quickly and all of it was delicious. My kiddo ate up happily all of her spaghettini. I enjoyed my pizza and my husband had no complaints with his. We liked the whipped ricotta so much, we ordered a second one to take home. If you are in the south side and is craving Italian try this out!

Ambiance felt casual enough, but the environment was bright and warm. And our server was a delight, she was very attentive and genuinely very accommodating. Food: - Whipped Ricotta: 10/10 Beautiful, a must get. My absolute favorite dish of the night and the reason I'm even writing this review - it was THAT good. The ricotta is smooth, sweet, and garlicky. We ordered the tomato dipping sauce on the side to add to it, and that added a layer of acidity that was reminiscent of a fancy pizza in itself - Green beans: 6/10 Nothing special, bacon was good. Sauce was fine. Really just a solid veggie dish if you're looking for something green to eat - Karaage: 6.5/10 Not really actual karaage, texture was stringier than a juicy piece of chicken, but it's definitely covered in togarashi (spice) for an added kick. The dill sauce was great though - flavored really well. And adding the tomato dipping sauce to the chicken was actually a next level elevation - Vegetarian pizza: 7.5/10 Those mushrooms were so flavorful in every possible dish and this was no exception. Crust was light and crispy. All the vegetables were seasoned so well. - Gnocchi Bianca: 9.5/10 Beautiful. Delicious. Gnocchi was perfectly cooked with a soft, pillowy texture. Sauce was creamy and not too salty even with the smoked bacon. - Pumpkin cheesecake: 8/10 Texture wasn't too heavy. Flavor wasn't overbearing. Whipped cream was thicker than expected - but its flavor was decadent without being too much. Great taste. Wonderful experience overall. Highly recommend.

Looks like they let the guests change the channel though! Lots of seating. Grabbed some hot wings, bbq caeser salad and a side of pickles. Service was good, nothing to complain about.

It was great…read morefor that entire time but JR Bar & Grill has gone downhill since new management took over just before the pandemic hit. I have personally been served by the new manager 4 times since she has taken over and been overcharged on my bill three of those times. Two of those times, I was charged for food when I had none! It appears to be systemic now. Any sort of Covid prevention practices seem to be forgotten about as well. I don't trust this bar at all anymore and I will not return. Hopefully ownership can recognize what is going on. Looks like the new manager disabled reviews on their Facebook page so I think that says something.
