Good selection of draft beers & food menu choices; especially recommend the poutine au canard. Good WiFi for guests.

Good food, nice staff. They have specials for the evenings after 9 pm It can get really crowded before Oliers games so book a reservation if you want a table read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - I got the tomato basil bruschetta and the other is ricotta and balsamic vinegar - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I came here for lunch with coworkers recently. It was quite empty during a weekday lunch hour. The food was average and didn't find anything special. The service was friendly. I wanted to order $18 UGBD (Underground Beef Dip) but the server got my order wrong and gave me the $16 UG Burger instead. The food came 30 mins after ordering and we didn't have time to wait for my order to be corrected. She apologized and got I a $3 discount on my burger. The burger was was normal but I found the AAA top sirloin patty to be too salty. My coworkers didn't find their food to be anything too mind blowing either. Overall it's not a place I would go back to unless there are more enticing things on the menu. read more

So we returned here again. In general it wasn't quite as good as before. Still same vibe and good beer selection. Service was scattered but decent. It was the food that wasn't up to snuff. I ordered the butternut squash risotto. It was well prepared. The risotto was the consistency that it should be but it lacked flavour. I needed to add salt and a whole lot of pepper to the dish. However the portion was good and there was plenty of mushrooms and squash in it. What was the huge disappointment was the tenderloin. Tiny and barely any flavour. It was burried in the brussel sprouts and there was a disappointing amount of sweet potato mash. And for almost 30 bucks my husband was still hungry. Can you count how many times I said disappointing? Come here for the beer but skip the food. read more

Went in after the Wine Festival at the Convention Centre with 11 other people. I understand when a 12 top shows up it can be stressful on staff, but there was maybe two other tables besides us. We were basically grabbing another drink before heading home and a couple people got some appetizers. We were treated like we were the biggest inconvenience for our server. Last time I checked an empty bar on a Friday night is a bad thing. I use to love going here when visiting downtown, our whole group agreed we will probably never visit again, and that's to bad. 2 stars because the environment is still pretty cool. read more

A really great hidden spot on Jasper Avenue. I've passed here so many times and finally made it in on a Saturday night, when there is a special on beer cocktails ($8) and chef's menu choices ($20). My beer cocktail was a "root beer" and it actually tasted like root beer with a kick: a dark beer with Kahlua and root beer schnapps. The chef's plate I chose was a 10-ounce steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Normally this would be closer to $30, but was a bargain for $20. My steak was done to perfection, tender, and the sides were great too. The atmosphere is casual, service is friendly, and there are a lot of beers, cocktails, and food menu items (mostly higher-end pub choices) from which to choose. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

I felt like I was old enough or ..... boring enough idk. Finding it was weird, it's in an office building downstairs. The bar looked cool and the server was nice, food wasn't bad, but we ordered then left to go eat a real meal a few blocks away ...... idk what else to say. Maybe after work the place is cool. I would go back for the Brussels sprouts. The ambiance was dragging me. read more

Wow that was not good. Had 3.5 stars so figured it would be decent. Half of the beer menu they gave us was "tapped out." One beer we tried to order the server said it was coming out really foamy so would probably take 15-20 minutes to pour. Then they told us that they were doing a tasting at 7pm and that we would have to leave before then. We were planning on eating there but that changed. Later the server came back and asked if we still wanted food and we said we would if you weren't kicking us out. Server then said we could stay if we want but his service would probably be terrible. Anyways, just don't go here. read more

I can't believe I haven't finished my review for Underground. This is one of my favourite favourite places in downtown Edmonton to visit since they opened. It's a true standby with food, drinks and atmosphere I can enjoy. Gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options on the menu - those blackened steak tid-bits are really tasty. Now you know which camp I'm in. Drinks... I've never had a moment where I didn't find something on the menu I wanted. They have rotating taps for folks who can drink the beer - being celiac, I have fewer options, but there's ALWAYS a cider I like on the drink menu. Beer flights - my companions regularly partake. We've had fantastic service, and average service. Very rarely and nearly never poor or neglectful here - some places you have to beg for a bill these days, and I have not found that here. Come early, it gets busy. Check what the current daily specials are. They tweet the lunch specials often, and there are theme nights. TVs, you can watch multiple sports, and there's art for sale on the walls. Nice they support local folks. read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - Glutenfree cauliflower pakoras in Chana (chickpea) batter with tomato chili sauce. (There were 4!) - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

We were told this was a great place for food and beer and we found that to be quite true. We were lucky and stopped by on wing Wednesday and $5 pint night, so we ate quite well. We ordered wings, a hat trick bacon sandwich, and duck confit poutine. All of the food truly impressed us. The nuclear wings were very spicy, but had good flavor. They will have your nose running and eyes watering by the time you are done, but they still have great flavor beyond the spice. The hat trick sandwich was a bacon lovers dream. Bacon patty, bacon jam, bacon, and a fried egg. It was heavenly. The duck confit poutine was the best I have had in Edmonton. We also enjoyed a few beers while on $5 pint night. We enjoyed some local favorites, except the ipas. They were drastically lacking in hops as compared to the America ipa's we are used to. The bartender was quite friendly and allowed us to sample beers until we found one we liked. Overall, the food was mind blowing, beer was great, and the service was friendly. I could not ask for much more. read more

I've been here a few times. It's just OK. I like watching the sports, but around 8:00, they turn off the TV volume and crank up the hits of the 80's. bah The chipotle steak salad is the best. The burgers are killer. Endless beer selection. We like to sit at the bar. Bartenders don't always make the best food servers. LOL. Dude removed my hubby's plate before he was done. Ooops. He put it back but since he had touched the fork, hubs requested a clean one to finish his meal. This caused confusion. Poor guy got flustered. Nothing is ever really wrong here, it's just never great. $7.00 pints and up. Kind if pricey for sitting in a basement. read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - Shhhh. I'm trying to watch the Blue Jays. - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This is one of our favorite spots in downtown Edmonton. We usually end up here mid-week for a late night drink/snack and it hasn't been too full or busy for us. It usually ends up being a small quiet crowd actually. They have a massive beer selection with a rotating selection so I usually get to try something new when I am there. If you don't already you should try out an App called "Untappd". It lets you log your beer/cider drinks you try. So when you do try something new you can log it into your app for future reference. And if you need to find that "hard to find beer" I usually hit up Sherbrooke Liquor. They have the biggest selection in town. Now back to The Underground! They have some Gluten Free and Vegan/vegetarian options. The food is really really great here. We haven't tried anything we don't like and haven't had anything come out that wasn't cooked/presented well. Service has always been good. They have nice big booths, table seating and bar seating. We usually pick a nice big booth to sit at. Atmosphere is casual and they usually showcase local art on the wall, which you can buy. read more

I've been to this location a few times; for the most part it's decent. I think that they hit the mark on the food most of the time, however, more times than not I leave feeling disappointed by more than one thing. The instance I had where I left feeling the worst was a night that I went out with friends, we were given a server that didn't really seem to know exactly what was on the menu, wasn't able to offer any recommendations, told us that they didn't have things that they clearly did have. We ordered a cake dessert and when it came out it was so frozen that we were having to stab a knife into it to shave off small chunks of it. This place is not bad, but I would suggest going in a smaller group and/or asking to be served by someone experienced who works there. read more

As in "Ferris Buellers Day Off"... OOOoo yyeeaaahh! This place is a bear drinker's paradise. 72 draft beers! The barkeepers were enthusiast and knowledgeable. The beer, MM MMM M guuud. The atmosphere was easy going and relaxed. I wanted to eat light; more room for beer :) Whenever I check out a new spot, I like to keep it simple, and so ordered a Caesar salad. I've found a fresh salad means well kept veg. proper refrigeration etc. Lettuce was crisp the dressing was authentic; also had a starter of chicken fingers, nice N tasty. Next trip I'll try some real food. I went for the beer :-D Looking forward to trip #2 read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - Mmm beer - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Upon descending down the small escalator to The Underground, I feel a sense of trepidation. What possible atmosphere can the basement of an old building on Jasper avenue have? Will the toilets even flush? How many mice call said building home? Fortunately, there was a light at the end of the tunnel for when you walk into The Underground, the warm woodsy decor makes you forget you are underground! A warm, spacious, inviting mod-pub atmosphere welcomes you. Though far from a beer aficionado I do appreciate craft beers for the same reason I appreciate art galleries, to enjoy something beyond my comprehension thus stretching myself out of a comfort zone and enhancing my knowledge about a subject. After all, who couldn't use more enhancement? I think SD from Oakland has a solid point in highlighting that it might be a little dubious to sell yourself as a craft establishment when a good portion of the selection isn't craft. This being said, relative to this city's environment and market that is my humble home I would say "beggars cannot be choosers." Underground definitely has at least 12 pure local/independent craft selections available for your pleasure. I was lucky to try the Chai Stout from Ambers, Fullmoon from Ally Kat, Pigs Ass Porter from Harvest Moon (Montana) and 606 Pale Ale from Paddock Wood (Sask). Found the Fullmoon and especially the Pig's Ass (which I hope doesn't actually taste like a Pig's Ass because I would begin to question my tastes) great. Learned a lot and had fun getting drunk. Objectives achieved! The service was stellar. Our server, Lisa, knew her stuff about the craft beers. She did a wonderful job. Great place. Hope to come back often. read more

Overall - 3.5/5.0 A goto spot for dinner when I'm here for work. This place has an extensive selection of beer on tap and has an option for beer flights as well as 1oz tasters if you want to try different ones. Their daily dinner and drink specials does the job. I have had their steak specials (i.e. $12.50 for a 7oz on Mondays and $3.00 tacos w/ $9 flights on Tuesdays). Steak was simple but grilled perfectly and the tacos were substantial and flavourful. This place also brings a cozy environment and friendly vibe. There are also TV screens for you to catch a game or two. read more

I've been going here for dinner and drinks with friends on Monday nights for quite some time and it's definitely become my regular pub of choice, due in part to these friends who go here frequently. As a non-drinker (for the most part), I am mostly concerned with the food quality, which is excellent! I adore their food specials for special events such as holidays (the Canada Day specials were delicious for example in 2014, as was the St. Patrick's Day special). The soups are consistently unusual but good. The Monday night steak special with all you can eat sides is a consistent favorite for our group. My friends really enjoy trying the great drinks from their 72 taps and other drink menu, and I happen to like having a blueberry tea here on occasion, though it's rare to see me drink alcohol. We love the service we get when we come here! Don't forget to order a yummy dessert if you do eat here: the tapioca dessert is especially good as is the Bailey's Creme Brulee and the Chocolate lava cake. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. I had the duck confit poutine. AMAZING! Fresh cut Kennebec potatoes and tender shredded duck with the most umptious gravy. I am still thinking of this gravy... mmmmm. Also tried the bison blue cheese burger with Caesar salad. The blue cheese was too overpowering and ruined an otherwise tasty, juicy bison patty. The calamari was ok but the onions and peppers that accompanied it was delicious! The caesars were also well mixed. There is also an extensive array of craft beers if this is your thing. I will definitely be going back for more of that gravy! read more

Interesting and very varied pub food. They have like 100 beers on tap plus bottles. Not s draw for me but may be for someone...Appetizers are 1/2 off on Sunday so I guess I'll take advantage. Sticky pork belly sliders... adobo buffalo duck wings....ending with tuna tataki lived my mini tasting menu read more

Great beer selection. I'm a big fan of being overwhelmed with choices. I love that you can get a flight of beer for a reasonable price to sample four different beers. They usually offer a pretty good deal with their daily specials. Food is pretty good too, but you don't really come to the bar for that, in my opinion. Atmosphere is pleasant and nicely lit. The only thing needed to bump this review up to a 5/5 would be a patio. read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - Flight of beer, 200 level. - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

We went to the Underground Tap & Grill for the first time on a Saturday evening. We were expecting the place to be packed (Oilers game) but when we got there around 7pm, it wasn't! Place is nicer than I expected with a very cozy, chilled out bar vibe. I really liked the music - good song selection and best part is that they don't blast it. You can actually have a decent conversation without having to scream and yell. A nice change of pace from the rest of the bars in town. Anyways, beer wise, they have a great selection. You can pick from their regular menu (100-400 level which is categorized based on intensity/level of flavour). Then they have their rotational menu with quite a selection to choose from. A buddy and I got there early so we had a few beers and drinks before the rest of our friends came to join us. So I'm just writing about what we had: - Guldenberg ($8) - 12oz beer from their rotational menu. It is 8.5% and from Belgium. I'm no beer expert but it was a blond ale and was well balanced. - Wee Angry Scotch Ale (300 level) - dark ale that my buddy ordered. - Lowrider Double Rye Ale (rotational menu) - I believe this was the other beer he ordered. I can't remember the name for sure but it was a 12oz and it almost had a bit of a wine aroma to it. - Green onion cake sandwich ($13) - a friend that had gone before told me that this was pretty decent. Comes with pulled pork, suey choy, tomatoes and green onions with a green onion cake as the sandwich. They claim it is homemade but I wasn't too impressed with it. I've had better green onion cakes at Asian restaurants. And for the price, definitely would not order it again. For my side, I had the garden salad with lemon honey dressing. Nothing special again. - BBQ burger ($15) - 8oz beef infused with bbq sauce, cheddar and bacon. My buddy liked it but said he has had much better burgers. He upgraded to get the sweet potato fries. Basically, good if you want to try beers. Mediocre for food (as you would expect for bar food in Edmonton). Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars. Just go for a few beers. read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Few points: -This really is an underground restaurant, as in you have to take an escalator to get to the restaurant. I lost an unofficial bet this way. -There is free wifi though it is spotty. -There is purposeful graffiti on the restroom walls. File this under "mildly amusing." -Polite service but really slow. It's fine when you're not in a rush, but consider a packed lunch hour compounded with being tight on time. -Ordered the bison burger with minestrone. The minestrone was stellar, considering it was vegan. The packet of saltine crackers made me extra happy. The bison burger, however, was subpar. As much as I like bleu cheese every now and then, it overpowered the meat. Would have preferred more bison, less bleu. read more

Met a friend from out of town here for beers last week. Great selection of beers on tap, lots of Alberta craft breweries. It was wing night, so we ordered wings and found them to be nothing special, a tad undercooked and oversauced. I found the room itself to be a bit stale and lacking atmosphere. Great location though, and our two servers over the course of the evening were fantastic (I received a beer that was flat and it was exchanged immediately for a different choice). All in all an average experience. Good spot to grab a pint or two and move on with you day or night. read more

Great selection of beers plus good food. On busy days, make sure you book a reservation! I came here with some of my co-workers for supper and drinks on a Wednesday and the place was packed! So glad one of us had reserved a table because there were no empty ones. They have 72 rotating taps with new beers tapped every Thursday, with that selection of beers plus spirits, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages I bet anyone will find something to their liking. They have happy hour Mon-Fri 3-6pm plus Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Thursday Night Nachos, etc. There is always something to come and try! read more

Came here with a group on a Wednesday night and had no trouble finding a table for 9. Service was prompt and there was a good selection of drinks- plus $5 beers and half price wings all night. They have nice clearly marked dietary options on their menu (veggie, gluten free) and were happy to take care of a celiac friend with us. I had the bacon avocado grilled cheese sandwich, which was perfectly toasted and not too enormous; everyone else enjoyed their meals also. Seems like a great place to stop for drinks or dinner if you're downtown in the evening! read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! The on tap beer choices were thoughtfully selected to satisfy a wide range of tastes.

Great beer selection but only okay food. I have to disagree with a few other reviewers and say that their sweet potato fries were probably some of the worst I have ever had at a restaurant. The sauce was not what I was expecting and did very little to add to the fries. However, with the number of craft brews on tap and the wonderful service you can't really go wrong by coming to Underground. read more

The Underground Tap & Grill - Annex Ales - Where It's At brew - Pubs Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Disappointed. How this place can claim to be a "craft" beer bar is beyond me. A substantial amount of the offerings are produced by large macro-breweries like the world's largest brewery AB-InBev (Boddington's, Leffe, Stella), SABMiller (Creemore, Pilsner Urquell, Grolsch), Sapporo, or Guiness (Harp, Kilkenny, Smithwicks). Not to mention offerings from Heineken (Newcastle) and Carlsberg (Kronenbourg) portfolios. This constant smokeshow of purporting macro-owned imports for "craft" or "micro" brewed beers does nothing but miseducate the public as to what craft beer actually is. It might even be worse than the fallacy that AB InBev keeps alive insisting that Alexander Keith's is actually an IPA. It might be a good place to get a beer, but stop with this insistance you are a craft establishment. Both MKT and this place commit the same sin, co-opting the actual craft beer movement in order to push offerings from giant brewers who prefer to use cheap adjuncts in their beers. Its fine if this is what you want to serve, just don't tell the public you are actually serving something else, it actually hurts the small brewers who sweat blood in order to make an inroads into the beer market and actually produce something noteworthy or interesting. read more

If I were to make a personalized disappointment scale and list all the worst things that have ever happened to me, the blue cheese and jalapeno burger I had here would rank somewhere between my twenty-fifth birthday party (nobody came and I spent the night shitfaced, playing Team Fortress 2 and losing badly) and finding out my wife was barren. They forgot the blue cheese, I think, or else the unfermented, unroasted jalapenos overpowered it like they did everything else. The meat itself was an atrocity: a horrible little mummified disc that cast a choking curse on me as soon as I bit into it. Unfortunately this happened just as the server came by to ask if everything was all right. "NO!" I tried to call out, but the burger thwarted me by sucking all the moisture from my mouth and wedging itself at the top of my throat. We engaged in a battle of wills, this burger and I, and just as I was about to succumb I was able to shove it to the side of my mouth and pour enough beer on it to allow me to chew and swallow. I then covered it with some mediocre fries that I mistakenly dipped in the minuscule ramekin of weirdly sweet ketchup. I wish I could tell you I triumphed, but no--this is the first burger I have not been able to finish in my adult life. It cost me $14, and I can honestly say that it would have been a better use of my money to buy a burger from McDonalds and then pay one of the homeless guys outside ten bucks to punch me in the mouth. That said, the bun was okay, and the beer selection was very good. read more

While the atmosphere still reminds me of a windowless Denny's (or a Moxie's, if I'm going to be generous), I'm happy to give the Underground 4 stars. On my first visit, while I was impressed with the number of taps in the wall, I wasn't impressed with the space or the service. But a few months later, with improved service and a great selection of truly rotating taps, I must profess my fandom. I cannot comment on the food. read more

The Underground is a bit of a hidden gem; they have a great selection of rotating taps, an extensive beer list, and a pretty decent menu. The staff are friendly and well-informed on the beers they carry. Service can be a little slow, but it does give you time to enjoy your beer at leisure. Since the influx of craft beer restaurants (Craft, MKT, and Beer Revolution) the Underground has been sort of overlooked. This place is worth a visit, and may become your new hidden gem read more

I need to do diligence to my frequent visits to Underground these last couple of months. They've certainly impressed me since they first opened (read my first review). The ambience is better and happier, the beer is good with an extended list of 24 rotational beers - yes, 24 rotational beers! The menu of regular beers is pretty decent since there are some old favorites that I might want to have on tap instead of buying bottles of - delirium tremens, Three Philosophers and at least a dozen more. I'm yet to be impressed by the food though. Got nachos on their nachos night special. We did order it kinda late, around 10:30 p.m., but I found it to lack flavor. The chips were crispy but there wasn't enough fillings on it. I can excuse that because their beers actually really make them stand out! The best place for beers in town, without a doubt. There might be the occasional exception, where another bar gets a rare brew, but in general, I feel safe to say that I'll be coming here for my beer indulgences. read more

I've only been to this establishment twice; I've tried their apple chicken sandwich -- it's good! My coworkers raved about their fries. One of them quite enjoyed the spring onion sandwich -- which is sort of weird because it's almost like eating a doughnut sandwich with pulled pork in it -- it's a knife and fork kind of meal. If you are torn between several beers, you could order a sampler with various 5 oz glasses for $11. (Total 20 ounces) The only thing new that I've tried is Loki. It's good -- not too sweet, just a hint of caramel. The only qualms I have got about this place is their supply chain management. It often seems they're always out of many beers. I had really wanted to try the pumpkin beer, but they were out. But hey, as long as they've got Boddingtons on tap? I won't complain. read more

Great pub in the heart of downtown. Lovely place for larger groups that takes reservations and wonderful service. The vegan soup of the day - Sweet Potato Soup - was delicious starter. However, the Polenta Gnocchi was quite flat and nothing special. There is a wide beer menu on tap! Lots of options to choose from. For meat eaters, my mother adores the Buckin' Bison Burger. Excellent spot downtown for a drink or bite to eat. read more

This is by far the best beer bar in Edmonton. 72 taps of all craft beer, not a Molson product to be found. The downstairs location adds a bit of a speakeasy feel and the staff really does know their product and can make quality recommendations. The beers are always rotating and always a wide selection of styles. The food is generally good too, the Ramen soup is great and the appies are usually quite good. Unfortunately they changed the menu a few months ago and I think the fish tacos are gone. read more

I stopped by The Underground to celebrate a friend's Ph.D. defence. It was a good thing we had something to be happy about, and that The Underground has a good selection of beer, because the food was pretty bad. I took the plunge first by ordering chicken fingers and Caesar salad. The chicken fingers smelled great and tasted almost as good, but the presentation was bizarre--a finger had been propped up in each corner of the square salad bowl. The dipping sauce was bad, just FYI. The small salad bore little resemblance to any other Caesar I had eaten before, as it was entirely devoid of flavour and tasted like thinned-down mayonnaise. In all, I was fairly peeved about spending $12 on 4 chicken fingers and a tiny, crappy salad. A friend ordered potstickers, which arrived on a piping hot plate (read: sat underneath a warmer in the kitchen for far too long) and had been charred within an inch of their lives. He gobbled them down because he was starving, but he was none too pleased about it. The aforementioned beer selection was decent, though I stuck to the cheap "seasonal" drafts they were trying to move--mainly because the server made a quip about me being interested only in the $5 beers. And I don't know on what planet Kronenbourg 1664 could be considered a craft beer, even if the brewery is actually old. That said, I'm glad it was there on the cheap beer list. The craft beer list appeared to be fairly hops-heavy, with quite a few IPAs and beers with hops in the name, which may have been what dissuaded me from it. They do offer flights, so at least you don't have to commit to an entire pint of something you'll end up not liking. It was quiet enough to have a conversation, which is a rare find these days. I don't know if that's enough to make me return, though. read more

went when it was not busy at all so i can't speak about the service during a rush, but the taste, presentation, and value of the food and drinks here is off the charts. you can pay the same amount at another restaurant, but what you get will not be this high quality. i definitely recommend the tequila twilight for sweet cocktail lovers, or dark and stormy for people who aren't as big a fan of sweetness but still want something that genuinely tastes good. the dessert presentation was so nice too. basically, if you're on jasper ave, this place is worth it. read more

It was awhile ago that I was here so I'll try my best to remember the details. The Underground is located in I guess what is the basement of the Treasury? It's a super fun time trying to find parking with all of the construction going on downtown and I think that's what played into my 'not loving' this bar. It's a lot of effort for almost nothing. The basement is pretty open with high tops and then some booths around the corner in the back. Apparently there is also a DJ shoved away in the corner, but no one was playing when I was there. The lighting is horrible - way too bright and sterile for a bar. They have a TON of beer on tap which is great - but as per usual Edmonton standards the servers knew very little about them. Our server also wasn't really that busy, but constantly kept forgetting about us. We only had one drink and left. The prices compared to other places like MKT etc... I didn't try any of the food, but the menu was pretty small and nothing really jumped out at me. There are plently of other places I would rather spend my time. The only way I see this place being busy would be from the after work crowd since they can just walk over and not worry about parking etc... read more

This place has an above average craft beer selection, friendly enough staff (although the service can be a bit slow on occasion even when not that busy), decent menu (some standard pub food offerings and some stuff that tries to aim a bit fancier), room to accommodate your group even on weekends usually, and (huge plus for me) reasonable conversational volume. But the main reason I'm writing this review is to give a shout out to a server named Brittany (according to the receipt), because last Saturday (the 25th) a friend of mine paid in cash and told her to keep the change, and Brittany pointed out that a 20% gratuity was included in the bill due to our group size, asked if he still wanted her to keep the change in that case, and provided his change when he rescinded after being told about the included gratuity. Having visited bars where servers have literally put some of my change into their tip jars without my consent before handing me the rest (knowing that they could claim I was being belligerent and eject me if I contested this), Brittany's integrity and honesty on this matter, when nobody would have raised an eyebrow if she just took the money, impressed me and represented the Underground well. read more
