Oh Filthy's, your pint night Wednesdays shall surely be the death of me! Who can resist $2.75 pints of beer? Obviously not this girl according to my previous hangover...
By far one of my favorite bars in the city, I always have a good time here. They seriously play the best music, at least in my opinion anyways. I am quite sad that punk rock bingo seems to have vanished and that the bathrooms keep getting filthier,(Maybe that's how they got their name? Hmm), but the staff are great and so are the regulars that haunt this dingy hole. They have AMAZING shows here! Sometimes if you are lucky enough to catch them they can be free if you show up on the right night.
It can get busy but that is not a big deal as the line goes fast, or get there early enough and avoid the awkwardness of not having a table to sit at.
The food is quite tasty as well and the menu has a pretty decent selection as are the beers on tap. I love people watching here as it gets quite the assortment of hipsters, posers, metalheads and all the in between.
Check this place out if you think you can handle it. -

Well the location is good, and some of the staff is presentable but overall kind of a dirty place, or shall I say Filthy? You can tell this by the EMO crew that hangs out its front doors always smoking. Once in though if you can find a comfortable spot this place is ok. I have been in many a times and my attire seems to attract unneccasry attention as the punks need to prove there worth? But like I said if your popping in its fun, but not an all night hang out. Theres much cleaner places to visit.

This is still one of my favorite bars on Whyte. Always good service, passable food, and a friendly (usually punk rock) crowd.
The highlight is Wednesday night and you'll have to get there before 10pm if you want to avoid a line. If you do find yourself stuck at the back, sit tight. The $2.75 domestic/ $3.25 import pints & $5 steak sandwiches are the best deals you can find in the city. -

Filthy's is one of my favourite places to go for a drink on Whyte, any night of the week. They always have wicked drink specials, and their food is above average for bar food. Wednesdays that have domestic for $2.75 and import for $3.25 - whoa.
They have a metal night, karaoke nights, live bands (sometimes free shows!) and bingo. I enjoy the music they play here much more than the standard top 40, radio generic crap almost everywhere else. Generally, punk, metal, indie, rock n roll, etc. Sometimes there's a DJ, sometimes the aforementioned karaoke. There are a bunch of TVs all around, with half of them playing sports and the other half playing cool/weird movies. There are a couple of pool tables and arcade games (Big Buck Hunter? That golf one? i've never played)
Filthy's is pretty big, but it does get extremely busy. If you go between 8-9pm (on the weekend) you should be fine. Otherwise prepare to wait in line. Waitresses and bartenders are also generally pretty cool and nice. AND they have one of my favourite shots here, the whiskey pickle!Listed in: I love the nightlife

This is a very popular stop on the Whyte Ave strip. The first time I went to this pub I went to see a Fringe play.
The decor is very reminiscent of a British pub (in fact it's named after a pub in London). There is a dance floor as well as plenty of TVs. It's a hot spot during the hockey season. They also host Halloween and New Years' parties. There are different drink specials each night.
It's a great spot to meet up with friends. Not a bad place to settle in for the evening or as one stop of many. It's got a great, laid-back atmosphere and very popular with the university crowd. -

Filthy's has definitely gone down hill over the past few years. It's banished it's quiet but sometimes rowdy punk rock kids and welcomed in the drunk woo girls and rowdy muscle guys. It's still okay some nights and the pint special is still awesome, but everytime I have been there lately there has either been glasses thrown or some kind of bar fight breaks out. Also their elongated bar is great but it would be MORE great if they could actually attend to people waiting at the end of the bar they decided to make longer ! But alas, it's going to be a good night at Filthy's if you see people on the dance floor here. It doesn't happen TOO often but when it does it's a great dance party!

I can't believe I've lived in Edmonton for almost eight years and never been to Filthy's. Not that it's outstanding really, but if you're looking for some variety in your watering holes this dark, lacklustre booze can is worth a stop when you tire of Black Dog, O'Byrne's and Hudson's party central on Whyte.
During the Fringe Festival, the bar turns into one of over a dozen live theatre venues, so you can swill and twist your high brow at the same time, under the squinty light of gaudy Dynasty chandeliers while eating Porn Dogs and Filthy Hoes washed down with Trad and cheese cake swamped by Jager chocolate sauce.
Prices are reasonable, service is fast. You can come for Metal Mondays, Karaoke Tuesdays, Beerfest Fridays or any day between 3 and 8 p.m. for a Happy five Hours of food and drink specials.
The oh-so-goey pizza fingers smothered in cheese go great with beer and, as always, I surrender to any local dive bar with Wi-Fi so I can sip a cold one while doing a tapping meditation on my laptop. Om, Budweiser, Om. -

Filthy McNasty's.
What about that name sounds appealing? Not much I guess, but the name definitely doesn't do this place justice.
I have had many fun times at this pub on Whyte. I began to notice that the crowd here was often of the punk rocker group, and this place could sure get rowdy.
There are some seats by the window and you can sit here and gaze out at all the people wandering the streets of a summer night on Whyte.
The beer is well priced, the staff are fun and the music is loud. What else can you ask for in a dirty pub? -

This isn't my first choice of a spot to grab a drink on Whyte Ave - it can be super rowdy, extremely loud, and the subtitled dialogue on the TV screens make me think about my day job (in which I, yes, make those subtitles). Plus, the seats are super hard, although being all wood, must make them easier to clean.
Thursdays here are the regular punk rock bingo nights, in which you can compete for prizes; last night I watched someone win a porno DVD. Or if bingo is not your style, there's a few pool tables at the back.
Maybe it depends what you're looking for; if you're on a bender or wanna play Guitar Hero on the big screen, Filthy's is probably your best option. -

So a couple of weeks ago I made my first visit to this large but strangely cozy bar to hang out with some friends and have some kegs. The prices are amazing here and their bar food is some of the best I've had. After several kegs of beer (would highly recommend, yummy and cheap!) we were all thoroughly impressed with filthy. I'm a metalhead and particularly enjoyed the type of music they had to offer. My only complaint is that they wouldn't Play Korpiklanni's(folk beer swilling Viking metal) Beer Beer for the sake of the "masses". Seriously considering a birthday party here. highly recommend!

Filthy McNasty doesn't sound like the greatest place but this is actually a very popular spot on Whyte Ave. Not exactly my first choice. Everything in this place reminds me of a British pub.. a pub with a dance floor.
It is a pretty popular place during hockey games, many people gather here and get rowdy together.. or sad if we lose. They usually have good drink specials.
If you want to get in you might want to go early as the line gets pretty big. -
