    Hudson's has all the things I look for in a pub.  Excellent beer selection - check, good menu with food made from quality ingredients - check, courteous staff - check

    On this trip they had caesars on special.  The great part is they have 3 options for caesars:  A west coast made with hp sauce and steak spice, an east coast that uses jalapeno tabasco and of course the traditional recipe.  All three are delicious and give you just the right kick.

    No food was consumed on this visit, but from past experiences I've always enjoyed my meal there and do highly recommending Hudson's as a place to get together with friends.

    It's your typical pub. Beer. Pub food (but good food).

    The burger was good - it was my first tasting of buffalo meat! A little lean, but it was tasty.

    The atmosphere was alright, except for the douchebags at one of the tables that were clearly drunk before they even got sat down and were totally loud I couldn't even think. I know, I know there isn't much else to do but drink and eat in Edmonton, so...

    I notice they are a chain, and that's okay, it was good for what it was.

    This place rescued my Sunday afternoon. After a debacle at Twisted Kilt I stopped by Hudsons to see if they happened to be playing the Bears vs Panthers game and they were! Molly the bartender at the main bar made me feel welcome and was very sweet about making a conversation with this obvious out of towner. The wings were spicy and the fries were hot. The beer kept coming and I was extremely happy by the end of the day! Will definitely make this my place for sports the next time I am in Edmonton on business.

    Hudson west Edmonton mall. Well what can I say about this place? I mean it's a Hudsons. On Wednesday they have cheap wing day 35 cents a wing. They have I think 10 different flavors of wings to try. The food overall at hudsons is better than most pubs. With options like bison instead of beef for your burger it really helps make hudsons it's own and not like every other pub. The beer selection is quite large. With beers from the west coast all the way to the east for you to try. They have a nice selection of beers on tap as well. Now don't expect to see a more rare beer here though, it still is a more main stream beer menu.

    Overall hudsons is a great place to go for some better than average pub food and catch a hockey game or NFL with some friends while enjoying a beer or hi-ball.

    This is the newest Hudson's location in Edmonton, located in the busy eating district of West Ed. Mall, known as Bourbon Street. Seeing as I've never been too crazy about the other restaurants in this area, Hudson's Tap House is a nice Canadian addition to it.

    I shouldn't say it's a restaurant, it's really more of a pub. A real Canadian pub, with stuffed moose-heads hanging on the walls and everything! Okay, when I put it like that, it sounds like it might take away your appetite, but really, it's not that bad. I think it adds to the atmosphere!

    They've got plenty of seating, an assortment of small free-standing tables, cozy booths, and of course, the bar seating. The big bar stands right in the middle of the place, and is the first thing you see when you walk in. Everything is in this rich mahogany shade, so it doesn't look like just any pub -- it's a sleek pub.

    The food is yummy, and they give you these huge portions of everything, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. I had wimpy taste buds that day, so I only ordered the soup and salad (now I'm thinking, what the frick?). But the cream of broccoli was oh so good! Very creamy, not too salty. And uh, the salad was very fresh. Oy, that sounds so lame.

    Lucky for you guys, my friends had the sense to order something real that day. My friend had the buffalo burger (huuuge), and my bf had their super-spicy beef burger (also huuuge). Both guys were stuffed at the end of it!  A tip for all you spicy tongues out there: Hudson's has a helpful scale on their menu which helps you rate how spicy you want your food. My bf is always bragging how much he can take, so he ordered the hottest one. He was sweating bullets in the end.

    If you want to go for their Happy Hour, it's from 4-6pm weekday nights. You can get some yummy wings and mini-cheeseburgers for $7. Mm, I'm getting hungry just writing this ...

    Another note: if you're short like me, you might want to consider getting a booth instead. Their individual tables are really tall, so you may have an awkward time slipping and sliding off your chair. I personally like having my feet touch the floor when I'm eating. And, you know, looking like I'm not 12 when I'm in a pub ...

    So I hope this was helpful to anyone considering a visit to Hudson's. As for myself, I think I'll go back and have that buffalo burger give it to my wimpy taste buds.

    This is a great Hudsons.  Most of them are pretty good, but I really like this one.

    I guess I never really focused on how Canadian Hudsons was until I went to this location.  From the mahogany wood to the moose head on the wall, Hudsons is Canadian through and through.  And I love it.

    They also have really good food - especially considering that they are a pub.  But their food isn't typical pub food that comes dripping in grease, isn't cooked properly and is a tiny little portion.  Hudsons does food right.  Their portions are big, their food is cooked right and it tastes delicious.  

    The servers here are pretty good too.  They actually smile!  Who would have thought?!

    It's a really great place to hang out with friends.  It's got a great atmosphere and a lot of friendly people.  Check it out!

    The beer selection here is outstanding and a MUST for anyone traveling through Canada or just trying to expand their horizons. The service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is classy without feeling snobby. A dark mahogany layout and comfy booths give Hudsons a private and relaxing atmosphere to accentuate the quality and variety of micro-brews as well as classic beer and cocktail choices.

    Went here and recieved the most unfriendly greeting ever.  I was so offeneded I left shortly after being seated.  The "greeter" was a snotty young girl who obviously knew nothing about customer service.  After she gave us the usual this is the specials she was asked a question by one of our group and proceeded with the most inappropriate responce I have ever heard.  Not to be rude I just got up and left and went down the mall to Jungle Jims and had a great meal.
