I go to Sherlock Holmes most Saturday nights and sometimes on Tuesday nights as well for wing night and to possibly catch an Oilers game. I have been going there for about 10 years, have great service 95% of the time and now they also have great food!!
The kitchen has recently improved almost everything on the menu. I had their new burger and fries last night and I was super impressed. The new burger patties they use are really tasty and juicy, it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The fries are new now too and again I really enjoyed them, kinda reminded me of Arbys curly fries but they were straight. I ordered gravy for the fries but they were so good it wasn't needed. I am told they have new higher quality steaks now and I can't wait to try them. -

I honestly do not know how this can be considered a British pub!
The food is abismal and the service is worse. The waitstaff couldn't understand what we asked for ...despite us being BRITISH! If you can't understand a British accent don't consider yourself a British pub!
They also dont serve 1/2 pints......which ALL good British pubs do, and even if you don't serve them please dont look at me like I have 5 heads for asking for one and rudely reply "Why don't you want a full pint?!?"
I wouldn't go here again or recommend it to anyone else! -

You just can`t beat this pub for looks,it totally has a British flair and nice decorations all over,many have signed dollar bills and stapled them to the walls and ceilling same with some coasters,the walls are telling many stories,many had fun drinking there,the problem is with the vlt`s side,it seems to attrack low class welfare type of addicts drinking all but one single beer and just gamble for hours,they should remove the machines and that will clean up the place.They have 1/2 price deal menus on pub`s favorites like wings and nachos from 4 pm on,the main menu has the standard items like sheppard pie and burgers witch are good but nothing that would makes you want to go to the pub for the food only,they need to improve on qualityThe music is very loud,its hard to talk specially when the place get packed,the juke box is always very busy maybe because the stuff they play is always louder then the tunes you picked and not that great depending who runs the bar that day.The 2 waitresses we had were super nice,very friendly and modestly dressed,nothing like the provocative Tilted Kilt girls.Live music competes with the juke box and the hockey game if you seat on the vlt`s side,it gets so annoying so you better to move on the stage side when the guitar player shows up.So overall,good place to drink and party,ok for food and to watch the game but look out for rowdies,shady charaters and the vlt`s low class addicts.

Holy over-priced!!
$50 for 3 pints and two mediocre appetizers.
Blaring, crappy music.
Go here if you want to quickly part ways with your money and your hearing. -

Awesome English food... it will surprise you for sure! Excellent and freshly made soups of the day and traditional English fare! Always enjoy the Fish & Chips or Shepard's Pie.
Definitely has that English feel - reminds me of a summer I spent in England.
If you're at West Ed... it's a great place to get a bite to eat or a drink in a very unpretentious atmosphere! Highly recommended! -

We have a winner for worst service of the year and it took me travelling to Edmonton to find it. Which is a surprise in a lot of ways.
Anyway, we waited an hour and a half for our small order of food that never came. People were coming in, ordering, eating and leaving before we even heard tell of where our food might be. I finally walked over to the waitress and told her we were leaving.
"No, no," she pleaded, "your order's up next. I promise."
I begrudingly sat back down and waited five more minutes. She came out with a tray full of food.
"Alright," she said, "Fish and chips and a side of nachos."
"Not even close," I shot back. "Let's just all cut our losses. We are going to leave now. You can cover the cost of the drinks."
She just put her head down. She knew it was over and that she won the award for worst service of the year. I am curious as to where our order ended up though. Maybe they shot it over to England where the real Sherlock Holmes Pub is. Those Brits never had a problem with service. At that one, you order from the barkeep then pick up your own damn food when it's ready. Perhaps this is the system that needs to be adopted here..... -

I've been here on a couple occasions before and although it is labeled as a pub, it turns into quite the rowdy place on weekend nights.
The last time I went here was for a birthday party. We showed up a little early to eat and get a spot to sit. My boyfriend and I shared the burger and it was super juicy and yummy. Our waitress was pretty on top of things and our drinks did not easily go dry.
When everyone else showed up, the party really started. The place got really loud and there was a lot of dancing around and screaming. Maybe it was just our friends, and this place doesn't get crazy, but that night, I was overwhelmed.
The prices here are decent, the staff are nice and the location is good (right on bourbon street in WEM). I'll go back for sure. -

This is a typical Edmonton Pub.
The downtown location of Sherlock Holmes Pub is better than this one though.
The shepherd's pie is really good if it happens to be cooked all the way through the day you order it. I've gotten it frozen in the middle and, let's just say that it wasn't very tasty.
The service is kind of lacking here but I find that with a lot of pubs in Edmonton.
It's a nice looking place inside and out though.
If you find yourself on Bourbon Street, I recommend Hudson's.
