it was a a 28 degree day, so I sat outside. I didn't think I would be there long, just stopping for a quick lunch. The shaded tables were taken, so I sat with my back to the sun, after all this won't take long, right? After some time, I was offered a menu and the server took my order. I received my water and drink quite quickly, and then the servers went back inside. When they did reappear, I was told that my food should be out soon. It wasn't. When my food finally arrived, I asked for another drink. I was having a Long Island Iced Tea, and the young man brought me an ordinary iced tea. When I mentioned it to yet again a new server, he assured me that no one had changed anything about my drink. I explained that he brought me the wrong drink, which he finally understood. I guess to sum up, I spent an hour baking in the sun, while the servers took little breaks in the air conditioned restaurant. Their food while good, is expensive, and their service is slow. They didn't even bring the machine out to my table so I could pay. I waited long enough, that I finally went inside to pay. I won't be back. read more

Great little bistro/pub very close to downtown. Amazing service, friendly conversations with managers and staff. I come here for a couple pints of differently craft beers. Always a great time. My 1 and only critique is that the appetizer menu is so damn expensive starting at $14 for chips/fries. Way too expensive for me to order appetizers with my pints. I wish they has cheaper me items for the loners like me that come in lol read more

Telegraph Taphouse - Old Man River Brown Ale - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lethbridge, Alberta

I had supper this evening at the Telegraph Tap House. What attracted me there was their beer selection. Since I am in Alberta, I ordered the Rib Eye steak medium (with no veggies) and it came medium/well, exactly how I like it! It was really good as were the mashed potatoes. I'd get it again. Tayt was the bartender and my server and he took excellent care of me. I like beer but tend to be a boring beer drinker. He gave me some local things to try that were outside my usual beer box that I ended up liking. We had a fun discussion about beer. I'd recommend this place! read more

Was here as a group of 4 to celebrate on a Saturday evening. Wonderful selection of beverages on tap. I'm personally not a huge fan of beer. However, I can appreciate that there's A huge selection available. My friends were very happy to be there. read more

Telegraph Taphouse - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lethbridge, Alberta

We haven't lived in Lethbridge for almost 10 years, so when we visit it can be tough to know what's new, good or changed from the last time we visited. This business was #3 on the list when I checked the yelp map, so I took that as a good sign. First off, the atmosphere is really great, cozy, fun and intimate. We were seated immediately and I'll say right off that there was a Christmas party going on there and it was really busy! Our server was great with putting together a couple interesting beer flights. I was extremely impressed with the selections they had on tap! I ordered spaetzle and schnitzel. The food took a bit of time to arrive due to the Christmas party, but it gave us a chance to visit. The food arrived piping hot and fresh. I had 2 big crispy schnitzels smothered in a delicious, rich mushroom cream sauce and topped with 2 perfectly cooked spears of asparagus. The spaetzle was spot on! It was tender, buttery and so flavourful! A small salad rounded everything out perfectly. This is the ultimate comfort done right. My companions chose some kind of chicken/bacon sandwich with a side of creamy potato soup, that they both enjoyed a great deal. Like I said, this place was busy and we waited a bit for the food, but it was totally worth it. Great food, big portions, awesome value, great service. Keep it up! read more

I visit the Tap when in Lethbridge. Have been going there for at least 8 years after discovering it while returning from a road trip in Montana. It is an interesting pub and I always meet interesting people there. The beer selection is great and the food is always meets my expectations. This pub is still the finest pub I have been to. I was there this weekend as the pandemic restrictions were partially lifted. The pub is still energetic and fun to visit. read more

Do not ever go to telegraph tap house Lethbridge just went there and the table next to us were loud disrupt and creepy. We told the waitress how uncomfortable I was feeling as a female. We were offered a new table and we said no because we didn't want to have to make them wash and extra table. Instead the waitress go's in a male staff comes out and demands us to pay the bill and leave. Yet the table next to us get to be drunk and disorderly get to stay. Never again read more

Don't go there for breakfast unless you want to pay through the nose for a very limited selection on Saturday and Sunday before 1. Their breakfast is listed at $6.00 if you buy a drink and $10.00 if you do not. They were out of Diet Pepsi or Coke so basically I paid $4.00 for water. The meal was mediocre, the selection terrible at that time, and the service was borderline unfriendly. Will not go back. read more

All the awesome hipster things in one house! When I heard the word "Brew Pub" in Lethbridge, I gotta say my mind immediately went the way of "Hudson's Canadian Tap House" and I was wrong! I was so pleasantly wrong! This is a small pub that focuses on its beer and its food, just like a brew pub should. The space has exposed brick, old barn wood style floors and is decorated with ALL the vintage, reclaimed or repurposed hipster things. From exposed lightbulbs to antique furniture, to a wall made of vintage luggage, old bicycles on the walls, antique telephones, a shelf loaded with an assortment of antique cameras. There's a network of belt driven fans that make use of one antique looking fan motor. The DIY hipster in me loved absolutely everything! Really, the only reason I'm light-heartedly mocking is because I liked this place so much. I find it pretty funny when places to such a great job appealing to me. They've got an extensive and changing list of beer on tap that is marked out by little stickers on the menus. They've got a great seasonal craft selection with several beers in each category from light to dark. The Tap Club sandwich I ordered is a monster! A chicken breast, roast beef, exceptionally tasty bacon, BBQ sauce cheese, and then some lettuce and tomato to give it at least some sort of veggie. This came with your choice of a side (the tomato bisque was great) for $13-ish. Everyone at my table ordered sandwich and we were all impressed! You can get a filling sandwich on it's own for $5.5. They have a small stage in the corner so it looks like they do live music on the busier nights. I can't wait to spend some more time at Telegraph the next time I'm in Lethbridge. I have no doubt this place get very popular in the evenings! read more

We have been here a few times. The atmosphere is really unique with the mix and the new and the old. Love how they have decorated with the old suitcases and photos and incorporate the brick. The food is awesome! Every time we go it is great with fresh food, including fresh made salsa! The presentation of the dishes are also unique and make pub food look high end. The portions are pretty large so make sure you have room for delciousness. There is a wide selection of beer on tap as well as a complete bar of other drinks. The Innis and Gunn on tap is perhaps one of our favourite. During the lunch hour is very busy so make sure that you allow time to wait. It isn't the same as other restuarants, as there are long tables because of the small place so expect to sit close to people that you don't know. I will keep coming here even after I try everything on the menu. read more

This is a great little pub / restaurant in Lethbridge. The food is standard pub fare but the menu has a lot of options. The decor is really great and they have tons of beer options! Apparently breakfast here is a huge thing, which I have yet to try. read more

Love this place!!! All their menu items are super unique and well thought out and DELICIOUS! Tons of beers on tap if that's your thing (I had a cpl pints of refreshing Somersby cider) My friend had the veggie burger and said it was the "best burger she's ever had" I tasted it and it was pretty legit / I would order that myself!! I had the knuckle sandwich which is a 4oz baby steak sandwich - OMG so tender and delicious. Their gravy is so good too!!! We sat at the bar and watched some FIFA followed by the Stanley Cup final / so fun - I would totally go there again! read more

Telegraph Taphouse - This will now replace water in my water belt! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Lethbridge, Alberta

Love the support the owner has for the community and the downtown scene of Lethbridge, however this would be one of my last picks for food or drink in the city. Food is sub par at best. This place was great when they had they truly cheap breakfast 5 years back. Now it's just a overpriced glorified pub. read more

Whoa. This place has a stellar selection of unique beers that would make any beer lover jump for joy and many of which are on tap! We came down to Lethbridge on a random trip over the long weekend and lo behold, Telegraph was one of the first places that popped up. Highly recommend checking it out. It is located on the main downtown strip of the city. We also ordered food as well and it was exceptional for pub food. Large portions, well priced and full of flavour. They also have daily specials as well if that's your thing. But come for the beer. You won't regret it. read more

$3.99 breakfast i love you. Beer list is on point - although with that said, it's sometimes hard to see what they actually have in rotation at the moment. This last time they had Royal Jamaican Ginger Beer so I was damn happy. Service can definitely be a miss - but ah, i'll chalk it up to all being part of the experience. But for real - $3.99 breakfast, you can't go wrong. read more

If you like beer that is not the standard issue "yellow fizzy beer" then this is your place. Great selection of micro and imported beer. A huge and rotating selection on tap (30+ available on any given night). I'm so glad we have this option in Lethbridge. For dessert they were out of 1 of the two options. Had the chocolate (lava) cake; it was OK but nothing special. read more

This place is great. Love their selection of craft beer, and their Sunday brunch. Food in general is okay, atmosphere is fun. I give 3 stars because their waiting area is very awkward so I will never go if I think it might be busy. Also, their food is okay. I still go for the beer though. read more

Always enjoy meeting up with friends at the Telegraph, especially on a Friday night in the summer, possibly the best patio in town. Staff is great, Melissa is the best among the best (IMHO), but they're all great. 4 stars for establishment, 5 for our server. read more

Unreal for a small city. Came here for an early supper and ran into happy hour. Staff are very knowledgeable about their beer. Food was soooooooo good. Reasonable timing and proper portions. Will be back again and again read more

I used avoid going to this place because every time I would get THE WORST service but since it's under new management I can honestly say I'm very impressed. The service, food and their amazing beer selection was great. I would definitely recommend you go there. read more

Great vibe and service. Delicious hand made burger with a fresh bun and toppings. Fries are top shelf as well.

Excellent! The Thai Lunch bowl was amazing, as was the rice bowl. They even heated the bowls so that they would not cool down while you were enjoying each morsel. The size was enough for 2 meals, but it tasted so good that I finished it all! read more

This place is amazing! The food and beer selection is incredible. While their on tap list can be overwhelming at first, their friendly staff can suggest different beers that you may like, and they offer samples. Really fun environment. Last spring they had The Walking Dead nights where you could watch the show on their projector. During FIFA, they set up the patio and play all the games. read more

Been to the telegraph 4 times and I'm hooked. The Huck on tap is delicious, the Rig Pig....OMG....and coffee and bacon and eggs for breakfast for under $5?? Need I say more.... Atmosphere and authentic original memorabilia kick a$$ :) I've had Christina as my server a couple of times and she rocks! thank you for a great experience! read more

I would have rated this place a 5 but our waiter knew nothing about the beer or food. How do you work at a pub and can't even tell me about the different beers. It was sad! The environment was great loved that part for sure. read more

Nice pub. Great place for lunch. Food was tasty and has a wide selection of beer and cider. Not a fan of high tables, but there are a few lower tables. read more

The staff are wonderful. The food was pretty good. I had the smaller sized poutine and had to share the rest with a friend. Went here a few times now and they are great for hosting groups. I only wish they had more appetizer options, although what they do have is great! read more

Cool little place - kind of reminds me of a hipster type pub. Lots of beers on tap sure but here is the thing. They give you this amazing menu with like 200 beers listed, at this point you're not sure if this is real or if you died and this is what heaven looks like. Then the waitress points out that only the ones with the sticker beside them are on tap today. This cuts the list down to about 20 or so. Still super cool and amazing but I would rather if they just listed what they had on tap that day. Even if it was on a board or something somewhere. It's like back in the blockbuster days when you would roll in and they would be all out of the new release you really wanted. They would just tease you with the box.....like "ha ha, look what you could have had" I would recommend giving it a try read more

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Came here on a Sunday at 1:30pm.. It wasn't overly busy (a couple empty tables) Stood waiting to be seated for 5 minutes, had to ask for a menu after waiting to be seated. After sitting with no server coming by for 20 minutes we just left. I've never had such a bad experience in my life. Purely embarrassing. read more

We dined there today and the service was excellent as was the food. My daughter and I really enjoyed the ambiance as well. Many elect things to look at. I rarely give a restaurant 5 stars but this one really deserves it. read more

It's nice to see a place like this in Lethbridge. First the Pros: Good beer selection, great ambiance, and very good service. Now the Cons: The unanimous comment from the 3 of us was that the food was bland. Two of us had the Asian skirt-steak (including me) and the other had the club house. My skirt-steak was very flavorless, overcooked, and cold in parts. The other negative was that we were seated next to the back door and the cooking staff would come in smelling of cigarette smoke. It was somewhat of an appetite killer. My recommendation is to come for the beer and ambiance but go elsewhere for the food. read more

Been to the Telegraph 3X. The atmosphere is nice and decor is cool. The service is slow but the servers are friendly. They have a large selection of beers but they're not cheap! Large selection of food which all sound good but they fail on execution. Once the food took close to an hour and we got it cold. We had to send it back. Second time was on wing night....only 4 flavors to pick from.... And they undercooked the wings and splashed Frank's hot sauce on top and didn't even mix it into the wings! Are you kidding me!!?? I could have done that at home! Had to send it back. And the third time we just ordered drinks.... No more wasting money on their food. Hopefully they'll get better with time. read more

This place still sucks. I've heard the $3 breakfast on the weekends is good. May try it but the service is the worst I've ever had, every time. Servers sometimes have to make the drinks for customers and don't seem to know how to use the order/pay system well (one TOLD ME she didn't know what she was doing). If you want to get awkwardly stared at by the person bringing you your food and drinks without them welcoming you or introducing themselves then you might like this place. read more

Ever since you got rid of the best bartenders and waitresses EVER, you've lost all sense of what is TRUE customer service. I went there recently with my daughter and had an extremely poorly untrained server and the food was less than stellar to say the least. Cheap doesn't mean good btw. Time to reconsider your unfriendly staff and shake things up. Being from out of town and hearing good things from friends and this being my third visit, I was extremely disappointed and will not be returning..... read more

Would love to have sampled their wares! However, after 5 minutes of sitting there, with ZERO acknowledgement, LEFT! I spend thousands a month on food and beverage! Your loss TELEGRAPH! SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED! Management, owners? read more

Excellent selection of beer, but beware: the level of service and confusion by some of the wait staff may kill that buzz. Make sure they have filled your order for food or you may be waiting there for hours... Be sure to follow up or your feast will not arrive. read more

Great atmosphere, great service. All kinds of beers. It's fun to try all the different kinds of beers they have

OK, I'm going to start this off by saying our experience here was very positive. Sooo many beers to choose from in a very cosy atmosphere. And our server was wonderful with many helpful suggestions. We would return here in a heartbeat!  But....I need to go on a small rant and I never do this but I want to just in the hope you, the manager of this establishment, takes it as advice. The beef dip sandwich: I ordered this sandwich expecting some basic things. Thinly sliced beef placed in a thick, crusty hoagy-type bun, a bun meant for absorbing the au jus. Pretty basic pub food. What I received was something I had to eat with a knife and fork because the "pulled" beef was soaking in some sort of sauce. This same sauce had completely been absorbed into the thin hamburger bun, turning the bun into a soft goo. The meat sauce totally rendered the au jus as unneeded and I ended up eating this with a knife and fork. While it had a nice flavour (good job with the mushrooms), I feel it would be better described as a sloppy joe. If you only change one thing, it would have to be the bun. And thanks for letting me explain myself. We really did enjoy ourselves here and will be back again the next time we come to Lethbridge. read more

I must say it was not a very enjoyable experience. The food was terrible and the service wasn't much better. Three times our server came back to recheck our order to ensure she had it correct, and it still came out wrong. simple solution: write it down. The food was not great either - over cooked steak, incorrect food item, soggy pizza, soggy fries. I enjoyed my beers, and the selection of drinks was quite good. I really hope it was mostly my server then it was the establishment, because I love tap houses, and I love DT lethbridge, so I really want this place to be awesome. I hope the owners see this, you have so much potential, but don't be afraid to evaluate your staff harshly because they will effect customers returning. The opening of your business is crucial to your success especially in Lethbridge. EVERYONE wants to try it out, but they will likely not return if the experience is bad, which will be terrible for your business. read more
