(1- Terrible; 3- decent; 5- Fantastic)
I've been here a few times and the experiences have been fairly well. I've only had one really bad experience where the service was extremely slow and the dish I ordered was terrible. However, all in all Tudor is a nice pub to hang out with friends. It has a relaxed, rustic British pub feel to it with a beautiful decor of hardwoods and cushy booths with their own tvs. It's a fairly large pub that isn't too overcrowded.
Alcohol selection is a little limited but decently priced at round $6 pint for beer. The House lager is cheap with a light crisp flavour. Unlike half the pubs I've been to, the food here is pretty good. It consists of your usual pub fair along with sandwiches/burgers, pizza, steak, pasta, traditional British dishes all for a decent price (from $10-20). I highly suggest you try their traditional poutine. At only $8, it's one of the best poutines I've had in Calgary. The fries are extra crispy, but not overcooked, the gravy is not overly salty, and there is plenty of cheese curds oozing throughout the poutine.
Their wing nights are on Wednesday for $0.35 and they came out piping hot and fresh from my last two experiences. I enjoy their sandwiches as they are fresh and flavourful! I've had the Hot Italian Meatloaf Sandwich ($10.95) with homemade meatloaf served over fresh bread with a rich red wine gravy. If you like meatloaf this is a pretty hearty dish. I especially enjoyed their Hot Italian Sausage Sub ($10.95) with home made spiced sausage nestled in a perfectly toasted baguette with a light tangy sauce, onions and peppers.
I suggest you avoid their ribs and bbq chicken (about $17). Although their ribs are huge, they are really fatty and bland and the chicken was dry. The BBQ sauce is nothing special.
The service is up and down. It's nothing extraordinary and if you're unlucky sometimes the service can be extremely bad and slow on the weekends or during a 'specials' night.
Overall this is a great pub to visit for warm comforting food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. I suggest a visit if you live in the area!
