  • You know what? This place isn't THAT bad. The wings are pretty decent, with lots of flavors. But on wing nights, they are not fresh. They sit under the heat lamp. The beers on tap have improved to include some local brews, such as Big Rock. But they don't go bold enough and include really exotic bottles like Alley Kat or any type of imported kristallweizen (if you like rickards white, good god, try a real weiss bier). The TVs are really lame; distracting. This place also has several CCTVs that loops with all their promos. They then put this on ALL tvs when there is no poker/NHLclassic/etc on TV, which is well intentioned but extremely stupid imo... just turn them off and stop trying to market everything...maybe the experience of talking to other people is an experience onto itself. The servers are just outright clueless and are a bit snide. We asked for some scotch and she had NO idea which scotch was available. Being Canadians, we just conceded to the mediocrity: "ok, whatever well scotch you got." But she didn't know what well scotch was. She was unwilling to find help, or just admit that scotch (or basic bar argot) isn't her forte. Eventually, we went to the bar, asked the bartender to pour some J+B in a shot glass as per our request for three of the people at our table, and then have that server bring it up to us. Eventually this was done. It tasted like well tequila due to the poorly cleaned shot glass. Being Canadians, we bitched to the bouncer in passing about this (instead of actually complaining directly) while going out for a smoke, so he got the manager to comp all six of us a round. +1 star for this place. The interior reminds me of this Canadian theme bar I went to in Tokyo. Logically, one can assume this place is really an authentic foreign Canadian theme bar in Calgary. Regardless, this place in Tokyo was very contrived and had nothing on the walls but souvenirs, empty oil cans, miscellaneous kitsch, and photos of British migrants stealing our resources then taxing us without any type of representation, first wave feminists finding something to ruin, and colonial thugs standing proudly atop a conquered Native. You know, things that comprise Canada's proud heritage.. Hudson's is the same. Believe it or not, it is possible to decorate an interior in a Canadian fashion without kitsch on the walls. Look at the grad lounge at the UofC, local510, or the entire W Montreal. If I could suggest somewhere for non-Canadians to have a good Canadian meal and experience, I'd tell them to go a block south to District. Way fresher and way more unique. But Hudson's isn't that bad of a place to change it up for us locals wanting to wine and dine in a place that resembles the garage of the sub-sub-urban home we never had. TIP: Cheap wings on Wednesdays!
