Editorial Review for Alberta Street Public House – by Christie Scotty

In Short
A darkened Irish pub invites patrons to the left, while a pastel-colored music room lures fans to the right. The pub side lends more to conversation, with a mostly older crowd, but it's not uncommon for patrons to burst into spontaneous song. Irish stalwarts like beer and single malts are offered, as well as specialty drinks like Beglan's Big Engine, made with 151 rum and amaretto. The menu lists fresh salads and Irish entrees like shepherd's pie.

I have been to this pub hundreds of times and have never had any problem with service. The staff is not rude. I have no idea what you people are talking about. as for the person who's diabetic friend ordered rum and diet, wtf? is your friend stupid? Rum is made out of sugar. I agree with the bartender. Besides that, they have great french fries, a heated patio, its non smoking, and just generally great.

Pros: cozy, nonsmoking

Cons: service is slow. not bad, just slow as there is usually one person working

I AGREE!!!! this place is awful!!!! it isn' t hard to order at the bar, it is just unacceptable to wait 15 minutes to get a beer and deal with the rude employees. these must be the coolest people in town. i mean the coolest poser hipsters. neo corporate punk rocker wannabes seems pretty accurate to me. it's corporate neopunk because it's a look that died in the 80s and is now marketed and sold to identityless hipsters like you by huge corporations. isn't tipping based on service? i'm paying you for food and tipping you, but you can't walk 10 feet to give me my food? i will never spend another cent here nor should you. you know a place is desperate when it's own employees have to review it. the old irish guy is obviously too old to be running a successful business. spend your money somewhere that appreciates your business!!!
