Take everything you know about a suburban pub and… well, it’s exactly that… That said there are a few things that make Tudor Rose special. If you feel like hanging out with friends, there’s plenty of room. Come play a game of pool and chances are there will be enough seating for everyone. They’ve got a sunny, south facing patio to put back some pints on. For beer, they’ve got your basic domestic big boys, but are also carrying Goose Island, Molson’s response to craft beer. Try the chicken burger — it’s a solid, juicy chicken breast that comes in three different spices. I went with the blackened chicken and loved it. The greek salad is also well worth paying a little more for.

Very nice restaurant! There is a tv in every booth which was something i had never seen before. Our group was out on the patio, the patio is quite large with very comfy ratan chairs. I had the fajita salad with steak. It was amazing! Very large portions. It came in an edible tortilla bowl with guacamole dressing. I would definitely recommend! The food came fast and the service was amazing especially considering the size of our group. Also saturday is «ladies night» $ 5.25 mixed smirnoff drinks. A great place, will definitely be back!

Decided to give this place a try since we where looking for a pub to have a drink after a long week and some dinner. The décor is very well done and I like the dark wood and atmosphere. The place was pretty busy and we decided to sit by the pool tables so my husband could watch the pool game. Our server was prompt and polite, she took our drink order right away. However the food I have to say was just ok. Now I was comparing to a few other«Irish» style pups that I’ve been to in the area. It was a typical menu with ribs, wings, nachos, waffle nachos, burgers and the stews and fish and chips. Unlike our drinks the food took a little longer than I had expected to show up at our table. I had the BBQ pork ribs with baked potato. They were tasty and well flavored, they fell off the bone and was a decent portion. My husband had the liver and onions, which was a huge portion of liver. Now the food tasted good but it just didn’t have that wow factor is all. All I had on my plate was ribs and potato… kind of blah looking presentation. My husbands plate was similar with liver covered in so much gravy, well let just say I hate liver, and I could eat it with that much gravy. He had a few veggies but again it was just kind of missing some flair. That all being said, I’d go back and give this place another go to see if maybe it was just an off night.

We finally found a pub in the Coventry Hills area that we love! It’s Irish themed, has a great atmosphere, always pretty busy but there’s always tables. They have drink and food specials everyday, and the guys in the kitchen always put out great food, and even make some of their own sauces — all delicious. My fiancé had the liver once and I surprisingly quite enjoyed it. They don’t have a ton of draught beers, but have all the standards. Bathrooms are clean and the servers are mostly really great — we’ve been lots of times and only once had a server who didn’t really seem to care. Also, wing night is a total hit! 30¢ and they’re a good size. Totally recommend it!

When this place first opened, the food was great and service was awesome. Since then, it’s consistently gone down hill. Gradually getting worse and worse every time we go. I don’t remember the last time we really enjoyed the food. Our last visit was for Mother’s Day brunch. We booked a reservation and arrived on time. They sat us at a partially clean table and the drinks and service was extremely slow. The brunch didn’t have many options and i had to chase or ask many servers for cutlery… and when it arrived, they only gave us 2 napkins for 8 people. Very unorganized.

Steak ordered medium. Blood rare. Took server 10 mins to check to send it back… Now still waiting… Oh well I’ll have one more expensive beer…

Really delicious food! My boyfriend ordered the chicken club(which is more like a chicken burger) and I had the beef dip. We shared half and half and both meals were sooooo tasty! I was expecting average pub food but everything was extra amazing. I can’t wait to go back and try something else! Service was fast and friendly, and the beer was nice and cold too! Update: Wing night on Wednesday’s is awesome. Tons of different flavours and cheap schooners! The wings are a decent size too. Some places I’ve been to have had tiny, meatless, crappy ones. Their sweet potato fries & dip are addictive.

I was so excited to try Tudor Rose again, as I haven’t been here since it first opened(and even then, only for drinks). It was Thursday and girls night with Raissa R., which ended up working out perfectly as Smirnoff Flavoured vodka was on for $ 4.50. We’re off to a great start! Because I was really looking forward to our meal here, I had already checked out the menu online beforehand. It’s HUGE, tons of options and a wide variety of things to eat. We started with the baked brie. Heavenly! It came baked inside a puff pastry, with crackers, grilled apples, and grapes on the side. I love apples with my cheese and it was so nice to have something other than JUST cheese and crackers to nibble(which is the case for a lot of restaurants). Unfortunately, that was the highlight of our meal. I decided on the coconut fish and chips and my girlfriend had the burger. Everything came out really quickly and hot, I was so excited but honestly the dish fell flat — the batter was not light and crispy as I expected, but tasted as if it had been cooked from frozen. I could hardly detect coconut, and the pineapple sauce served on the side was inedible. Not to mention the actual piece of fish tasted off — not bad — but just different. Again, it was as if it was cooked from frozen and I have actually cooked frozen fish that tasted better than this. The fries were delicious though. I did have a few bites of my friends burger, and while it was tasty(hard to screw up a burger!), she did comment that it lacked flavor and was somewhat bland. Because of the awesome drink specials and the overall atmosphere of this place(love the TV’s in the booths), I will come back and give it another try. Our server was excellent and the prices were decent. Here’s hoping next time is better & I can update this review.

We had wanted to try this place out and it happened to be a Thursday, a jolly good pub night one may say!!! Walked in and it was quite loud, as expected. It was moderately busy but we were able to find a booth and planted ourselves down after a long day. The flat screens built into the ends of the booth were a nice touch. I also liked that the Specials were on the table in small menu form and every single day of the week has something going on. Grasshopper pints were on sale for the Man and we noted that Thurs was also pizza night! Perfect. A 2 topping pizza for $ 6.99. The late night menu comes out after 10pm which still has a lot on it to choose from. We were also given a regular menu to look at just to see the variety of dishes they have for lunch and dinner. Note — no curry dishes — they had tried that and that did not fly but you will find all the other typical English pub dishes. We were offered to try Fruili which I believe is a German style sweet beer that is made with a ton of real strawberries. It even came pink in the glass! That was neat even for me to try as I am not a beer drinker, I did stick with my Vodka/Crans! For sure a gal’s beer or the guys I am told mix it with Strong Bow or Guinness and that has become a House fave! The pizza came out Artisan style with that less than perfect round crust(loved that!) and we dove right into our bacon and mushroom Za. Not bad at all. The bacon was real, wish there had been more on there but for $ 6.99, a great deal. Even the cheese was good and stringy, it for sure passed my cheese test! The dough was good and it was cooked perfectly. We had told our server Ashley that it was our first time at Tudor and she gave me a tour of the patio which was really nice looking with the beams and fireplace, very classy. She explained that there was a big private room in the back beyond the curtains saved for special events. She was a great waitress and it was a nice change to have found great service in someone who took a lot of pride in her job! I liked the fact that the pub was large and airy, had a lot of wood going on and had a new, clean feeling to it. It has been open maybe for 2 years. Music was good, Top 40, not too loud. Back to the food… The pizza was not enough for us so we dove into an order of 3 mini-sliders which miniaturizes the 3 burgers they have on the reg. menu so you can choose your fave — British burger(mmm that warm homemade BBQ sauce! And bacon!), the Tudor burger(basic) and then the Mexi burger(covered in jalapenos). All deelish! Mexi won out for both of us but just by a teeny bit over the Brit burger. The meat was sooo tender! Almost everything on the menu is homemade, all the desserts are too! We will for sure be back, Sundays have the Fish and Chip Special, apparently very popular days for eating. Friday and Saturday nights I am told are very busy for drinking! But of course!

Lots of TVs even in the booths! Food is ok. They have Fruili(which I liked). Service was good.

A group of friends & I came out here on a Saturday night to celebrate our birthdays. The place got really busy over the course of the night. We had a fairly large table and our waitress was always there with fresh drinks. This was some of the best service I’ve had anywhere in town. We all ordered food and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is, considering the menu is rather English pub fare, which I’m not terribly fond of. I had the southwest chicken salad which came in a homemade fried tortilla bowl. It was really good. I also tried some of my friend’s sweet potato fries. Those were really good too. Some of the other food choices were the nacho platter(it was BIG) and the cobb salad(also big and had fresh bacon on it — who doesn’t love bacon???) Everyone said they enjoyed their food. Tudor Rose is pretty cool inside. I’d say it’s more geared toward the sports fan as they have flat screen tv’s everywhere including one per table(on the wall in each booth). That’s something I’ve never seen before. The place is bigger than I expected and has an inviting feel to it. Not intimidating for those of us who aren’t sports obsessed men. When I went to bathroom, I passed by a couple of guys playing some kind of interactive golf game. Guess they have a few of those things here too. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who’s up in that neighborhood. Good food and outstanding service. Can’t beat it!

This is a clean and modern British-type pub. I wouldn’t call it authentic but it does have decent food for a pub. Their special events are fun but the service is sometimes lacking. They have a nice selection of top shelf liquors and beers. The hot wings are above average as well.

This place is a mere few minutes from my place and me and one of my girls decided to try it out for lunch the other day. It is your typical pub, lotsa wood, lotsa tv’s, lotsa blue collar guys… you get the picture. The menu is extensive and offers your typical pub fare; salads, burgers, sandwiches, steak, pizza and pasta. It was nice to have such a large selection but I didn’t think it was necessary, really. Not ravenous, I decided on the tropical pizza. It was good, not the best I’ve ever had, the sauce was a bit on the bitter side but the pizza itself was very fresh and crispy. My friend had a salad with grilled chicken. She thoroughly enjoyed it. Large portion with a nicely grilled garlic baguette on the side. Waitress was friendly and the restaurant itself was immaculately clean, which is why I give them a solid 3.5. Not a big drinker myself, I can’t comment on their booze selections but their bar was huge. Great neighbourhood pub that I will probably hit up again with the man. Prices are reasonable too. Enjoy.

I think the good is pretty good for the price and the service is decent. Pub style food but they do show on their menu the healthy options etc. Nothing special but it does seem to get fairly busy as the night goes on so if your table picky-come earlier. I do hear the Beer Battered Chicken Fingers are the best.

First time here with some coworkers celebrating a birthday. Service was good… no complaints there. Our group had several different items throughout the evening… chicken wings, calamari, french fries, quesadillas, and a chicken caesar salad to name a few. The food arrived hot and was really good. We loved that they have 21 different beers on tap — yum! The atmosphere was nice and the music was not so loud you couldn’t hear your friends chat. We really enjoyed our evening here… a nice little neighbourhood pub that is not too far out of the way. We will return!

I was visiting my friend in Panorama Hills and she suggested we go to ‘the awesome pub next door’. And that is how I found myself at Tudor Rose. I have not been to many ‘neighbourhood pubs’ in the suburbs, or boonies, as I like to call them, so I wasnt sure what to expect. But it was fairly good, but did feel a bit suburb-ish. Very large place. Big doors, high ceilings, lots of space. y’know, everything that suburbians love about the suburbs. Okay okay, I’ll stop. The service was quite good. But it could have been because I was with a friend who demanded attention, who would not let a waitress pass by without making her turn around and listen to her request before moving on to other customers. Anyway, the pizza we ordered was good too! It was large and delicious. I took some home. So yeah, if you’re in Panorama Hills or somewhere equally far-removed north of the core, check out Tudor Rose. Pretty decent place to catch a game or eat pizza or drink a beer… or whatever else suburbians like to do. 9⁄30

I’ve been to the Tudor Rose twice now. First time with a group of friends redeeming groupons and once with a good friend. Both times the service was prompt and efficient and the food quite good. So far I’ve tried the Lamb Shank(at the serving staff’s suggestion) and while it was flavourful and well presented, the overall dish was lukewarm. I didn’t see the point in complaining about it as it was such a minor issue and I’d probably order it again. On the other visit I tried their coconut battered fish and chips. This dish impressed me. The fish was a generous portion and the batter was amazing. I had a hard time not ordering something else when I came back for another visit. Definitely a place I’ll return to, good food, good service and their draught beers are well priced. 1⁄30

Honestly never thought I would find myself this far north in Calgary, but here I was on a Thursday evening having beers and dinner with friends. The establishment has a nice modern pub look to it. I liked the fact that the booths had there own TVs. Clearly this is a sporty-type of place, so it isn’t for everyone. And while there was nothing special about the food, Big Rock was on special for $ 4.95 a pint. Not bad. One of my friends had trouble with their burger. The grease was so heavy that it soaked the bun. They handled it immediately though. The service was good. Lots of TVs here so if you want to catch the NBA/NHL finals somewhere the drinks are reasonably priced, this would be an ideal place.

OK… so there was a Groupon coupon for this place and i thought i would give it one more try, it has been months since it opened and it is sooo close to my house. Well the staff has always been good, and now i can say the food is. well dam good. I did not get a burger this time but the descriptions in the menu changed to a Kaiser bun… that is a HUGE plus! i saw a burger go buy and it looked very very good!!! No I gout the Chicken club and my wife got the chicken wrap, First THEPOPISNOWFREEREFILLS!!! that was the first thing i asked!!! Ok the fries… WOW they are now the crispy type, they were cooked golden and just the right way, and sooo good… my wife and i loved them! my chicken club was on a nice Kaiser bun the bacon was thick and good, the lettuce was crisp and the tomato was fresh and red, the chicken was grilled soo well it had nice charred edges and was plump and juicy, seasoned just right! My wife enjoyed the wrap and same her chicken was plump and jusy strips. with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato, the pita was fresh and warm. we both cleaned out plates, every fries gone, and they did give a large amount of fries. All the way to the crisp Pickle on the side. So i am happy that they decided to use Groupon because i would not have considered going back. and im glade i did!!! i is now a great neighbored pub that serves GREAT food, i will try the burgers again next time im there. So everyone in the NW and in Panorama get over there!!!

I gotta say, normally week one in a new pub is a disaster but Tudor Rose has put it all together. They had the local Big Rock on special, the hot wings were spiced right and meaty, the calamari was also tasty. The strongbow hasn’t made it in yet, but I’m sure that is a matter of days. The bathroom fixtures could use a little hands free action for a new pub but that is minor. The wait staff was friendly and very attentive, indicative that they hired some young professionals. This is the local pub that Panorama Hills needed and it’s design certainly fits the community.
