Atlantic Trap & Gill Pub

Really neat Newfie bar, old run down building adds to the character. Good beer down to earth servers, and good well priced food, live music all the time make the atmosphere great, it’s a locally owned hole in the wall joint.
Ask for the dressing with your fries and gravy, and try the burgers.

The trap is a Ton O’ Fun if you catch it on the right night. (which is most.)
Great live music, and better than decent pub grub, but the real reason to go is the people. Good staff, colourful patrons.
If you are from the Maritimes, this is a taste of home. If you are not, this is why you should visit the Maritimes.
The Big Arse Burger is a treat, but the Bacon Wrapped Scallops are positively addictive.

I like the cozy atmosphere. Beers are cheap. Food is good. Staff is right on. Music is always fun. Sitting at picnic tables is a friendly way to drink.
We may have been the only ones in there who were not Newfoundlanders.
Oh well. They accepted us. :)

We were here last night and had a great time. A variety of menu items were tried by our large party. The shrimp appetizer was very good. The clubhouse was delicious. The beer was cold and the service was efficient. The entertainment by Doug stroud was remarkable, lots to dance to and sing along to. Lots of room to sit and to dance. A really fun place to eat, dance and visit. Good for large groups and small.

This used to be the best spot in Edmonton for fish and chips.
I’m
Not sure what happened but it has become the worst for fish and chips now.
The last time I was in I made it a point totals my friends for exactly that. The fish and chips.
Well everyone fish was over cooked and the Tartar sauce was like white creamy water.
They ended up taking 10% off of our bill.
Needless to say I have not been back. Nor have my friends!!!
However if your looking for a great night out with some live entertainment this is the place to go.
Especially if Derina Harvey is playing.
Duff rocks it pretty good too!
All I can say is I hope management has chafed the cooking staff or did what ever it took to rectify this terrible turn of the food.
Cheers.

Service at the Atlantic Trap & Gill tends to be rather hit or miss. I will say this: I get better service from the male bartenders there than I do from the female bartenders. The food, when you get it, is generally very good for pub grub. But do keep in mind that it’s pub grub, so it’s going to be greasy. My most recent visit was more miss than hit, with both of the female bartenders who were working there equally inattentive. It seemed like they were working much harder to please the regulars than they were this stranger. Meh.

Went to this place last night for dinner and drinks. The service was good, the décor was something different (in a fun way) an the live music was awesome! My friends and I would definitely go back!

You know, for an Oil City with a disproportionate amount of East Coast Canadians living in Edmonton when not on the rigs I’m awfully surprised this place wasn’t foot stomping busy on a Friday night.
That small note aside. I like it! Lacks a certain appeal I imagine to the traditional jaw dropping femmes that walk around Whyte on a Friday night (note: jaw dropping can be both because they are stunning or just dressed so slutty I can’t quite close my mouth and stop shaking my head — it’s cold out ladies, c’mon!). The crowd was just good folks there to enjoy a beer and greasy pub food. I tried the deep fried pepperoni (as per my East Coast friends recommendation) and I was impressed, once my heart started beating again — it was temporarily clogged!
I think that this is just a fun place with good live music, solid service, and if you want it wine that is poured from a box.
Enjoy your beer!

Great Atlantic food, good beer and you can usually get pretty good service. The fishing nets and barrels of Keith’s on the roof set the mood. Plus the tartar sauce is amazing

Located south of Whyte Ave in Edmonton this place is popular. It is more of an open bar that serves food and has an appealing eclectic marine theme with nets and other things hanging from the ceiling and walls. Waitresses are very friendly. Place gets busy on weekends with live music. Seems to be a locals type of crowd. Early evening seems to be an older crowd with the young ones coming in late evening. Food is kind of the stick to the ribs basics with a seafood theme. The seafood linguine was not the best (sauce was dry and bland), other meals didn’t look dressed up either. Beer was really expensive at 7 and 8 bucks for 14 oz pints. Was there on a Saturday for supper. For my money I would only stay for the beer and entertainment and eat elsewhere. They had a special for fish and chips but my waitress didn’t tell me about it, I heard another waitress serving another table.

Love this place — this is my favourite wednesday night pub night venue. Always fun, always someone I know. The beer is good and the food makes me happy too!

PROS: Friendly prompt service. Big Arse Burger was delicious & we upgraded our friest to Poutine for only $ 1. The live band was great!
CONS: We had reservations for 20 people (as confirmed on the sign for our table), but we were seated at a table for 12. Many of us ate fish & chips — unfortunately the fish was super oily.
OVERALL: Fun east-​coast atmosphere — good pub grub, not a place for fabulous meal but definitely a good night out!

This place is over the top fun!
I’ve never eaten here, but I have had plenty of beer and good times. A friend recommended we go here one Saturday night and when we drove up, I thought it would be a quiet little place where we would hang out and talk.
I was sooo wrong.
We walked in the door and I was immediately surprised with both the east coast setting and the loud riot inside. I felt like we were picked up and placed into an all out party.
We sat at a table that had a drinking game drawn into the table (This was not done by random drinking kids, it was professionally drawn on by The Trap peeps) and it was a riot to play.
Our server was on the ball, and we always had full drinks.
I would definitely go back again, and this time I will eat!

Atlantic Trap & Gill Pub is a Newfie style bar that offers seafood and pub food. It is very east coast. They often have East Coast music playing in the background and have things like fishing nets on the wall.
I tried the Big Arse cheeseburger and it was good and filling. It has a huge homemade beef patty and is stuffed with pickles, onions, lettuce and tomatoes. There were other things on the menu that I would like to try, like the fish and chips and the calamari. I think I’ll be back.

This is a fun east-​coast bar that is mostly quiet during the day and rocks on the weekend. They serve up a mean plate of fish & chips with haddock, not pollock, and the deep fried batter taste like more! The server we had was really down-​to-​earth and friendly, like a true Easterner. When we came back on a Saturday night, it was hard to find a place to sit and there didn’t seem to be enough servers working for the number of people in the bar. So we went up to the bar to order. The crowds get so thick in here it’s a bit hard to walk with beers back to the table. I’d recommend coming early if you’re planning an evening at the Trap. Get a table, relax over dinner, then gear up for a night of spirits and East Coast crooning. The band that was performing on the night we went was loud, but good. They really got the crowd going and even had people up dancing in front of them into the wee hours. The space is festooned in fish nets, traps, and other seafaring and East coast nostalgia. This is the place to be for homesick Easterners living in the west, looking for a taste of home.
