9708 Main St, Fort McMurray, AB T9H 1T6, Canada
I just want to give the biggest shout out to the owner Jessie. Our family had a death in the family and we live 10 hours away. My sister called the Tavern and the owner hand delivered the food to our family's house without hesitation. Just such a caring, honest down to earth business with such compassion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time out of your busy schedule in such a delicate situation. And our family loved everything you prepared for them ❤️
Tavern has a great choice of food options, everything is delish! They have an amazing beer selection! The staff are super friendly and very approachable our server Vanessa knew everything and was one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time! 100% will be returning to tavern again!
Came in for lunch had the Thai wonton chicken and it was delicious. The mushroom soup was fantastic also. My server was Kirsten, she was very sweet and recommended the Thai wonton chicken. Definitely will be coming in again
always so friendly .. service with a smile kirsten! great food. personally love the onion soup. thai chicken wonton bites. yum! the fish is great too.
I absolutely love this place! I moved out of Fort McMurray several years ago and have not been back, but I recently found myself working in the area again. Renee was the server working and even though I haven't seen her in many years I was immediately received with a very warm welcome! The staff are just 1 part of what makes this place a great experience and Renee in particular is stellar at what she does and full of youthful exuberance! What a friendly girl! I came here to write a review on the food. Their bacon cheeseburger is one of the best and I crave it. I wish other restaurants made burgers as good as this. And I travel all over Western Canada for work. I put their burger as my #1 Fave! It's made in house, it's big, cooked well and not soggy / dripping wet when served. The large slices of bacon really make this item shine! The beer selection here is great as well. All in all, I feel like the owner of this establishment really gets what a great pub should be. Great atmosphere, great staff, great food and great drinks! I will always stop by when I'm in the area!
Tavern on Main has been a fave of mine since they opened their doors. The staff are so personable, they make you feel like part of the family! And the food? Well, Steak Night on Thursdays is a must-do, plus you have an opportunity to enjoy a lot of our local talent participating in “Open Mic Nite”! Highly recommended.
Our bartender Vanessa was so friendly and helpful! She really went above and beyond to make the night memorable. Food was amazing!! Love a spot with a kitchen open past 10pm.

Tavern on Main is the best bar downtown hands down. Ive had some of the best times there.
BEST place to be for fun. BEST place to feel at home away from home.
The burger was decent. Im not sure if I would return.
Great service I felt welcomed.
Great service, our bartender Vanessa was awesome! Went for mussels and Merlot and it was delicious. 10/10 recommend
Our waitress Kirsten was quick to take our order and to get the food out to us. I ll be eating here again.
Staff is very engaging, super friendly and food is always good. Especially the girl with purple(kirsten)
Great place to unwind and relax, Kirsten is a great Bartender and always has a smile on her face.
Great atmosphere, great staff, great food and great drinks!
Nice bar good people and great atmosphere. I only came to have some drinks with friends so I dont know about the food but I did enjoy being here.
Had an excellent evening out, we invited our whole team from work which the staff took great care for us all. Staff was very personable, professional and the food was top shelf thank you once again from TNM
Great food, great drinks, great people :)
I live Tavern on Main. Their steaks are delicious and their entertainment is great too.
Amazing clubhouse sandwich and loved the onion rings. I had the dry ribs as well, you didn t get very many but super tasty.
Cannot get any service sat for ever waiting we went got our drink at the bar the waitress was really nice but the other staff are snobby who can t be bothered to wait on you if your not their friends or right colour I guess this was on $17 steak bites.
What a fun place to go!
Foods good, staffs good.... I love this bar!!!!!!! The Naanwich is amazing. Lots of good music and live entertainment.
Ordered through Skip they sent the wrong order. I had to phone restaurant They asked me to come down and pick it up after I paid a tip and paid for the luxury of having the order through Skip sitting here now waiting for the order to come almost 2 hours since I ve ordered food I ve never had such rotten service in my life.
Good
I like to try a new place every time Im in FM. This time, it was Tavern on Mains turn. The place was mostly empty when I arrived and I was completely ignored by their staff. No Hello, no Ill be there in a moment, nothing. I sat and watched the server/bartender take another drink order and make it. Then she spoke with another customer while still completely ignoring me. I left in frustration. Total joke.
Nice atmosphere with friendly staff
. the waitress we had was disgraceful.. Ill never go back .. disgraceful it takes an hour to male a qusodilla and forgot an item we asked for .. must be nice getting paid to do the bare minimum.. food I got ngl was very good.. Im pretty offended about the service there. Seemed like she was on drugs or something
Fast, friendly service and the food is great!
Good food good prices and service.
Great food and service. Always a pleasure thank you
Very good
I HIGHLY recommend the ginger beef. Best in Alberta, Im sure of it.
Good beer. Good service.
I love the food here. Everything was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. It was also very well priced. The service was friendly and expeditious.
Best beef dip in town
Celeste, despite having only three days experience, was an excellent hostess and server and managed a moderately busy night and still made us feel special and welcome. Food is classic bar fare done well and promptly brought to table, piping hot. Was a great night, met unique patrons from the area and even came within a few steps of a fox in the parking lot.
Amazing beer selection. Great pub food
Its the same old reliable Tavern its always been. Great wings
Band was good. Atmosphere had energy. Drinks were cold.
Loved it! Vanessa was our server and was one of the most pleasant severs I have met to date! I ordered the 10oz striploin....we had nachos and steamed mussels....all the food was amazing!!
Great crew, food is pretty good, if you like really agressive lemon flavour get the lemon pepper wings, itll make your face pucker guaranteed. Acoustics are good, and I cant stress it enough the crew is great. If you find an issue there with them; youre likely the issue. Go have a good evening :)
Excellent time at the tav! Great atmosphere. Always greeted with a smile and quick service. Open mic Thursday is a great way to check out local talent and their support of local music scene has not faded at any point. Safi is a skilled cooked, you are in for a treat when hes cooking
Great selection of beer, great food. Hip, but relaxedrelaxed. Tues = Wing Nite. Thus = 1/2 Price jugs of draft
Service was very friendly and went above and beyond. The beef dip and fries were very good and the roasted vegetables were possibly the best Ive ever tasted, but the burger was surprisingly bland.
Live music, pub food, and great service from Van! What more could you ask for!
Food was awesome and service was excellent
Love when Eric LeDuc is playing...hes the reason we go...us the fries and dip are amazing
Good atmosphere, decent food
Very nice place to have drinks
Vanessa is the best bartender in town!!!
The tavern is a nice, quite dive bar in downtown Fort Mac. With a nice selection of beer on tap and a simple menu, its an easy pick if your in the area. That being said, now adays allot of the action is up in the residential loop, so if you plan on bar hopping, its a bit out of the way. They use to be one of the only bars with live music, however other bars are staying competitive. The staff Is friendly, but can be overwhelmed during busy rushes. One of the few, if not only bars with live horse betting and machines to boot. Probably some of the best wings in terms of quantity and cooking methods in town, and fairly priced. Their flavors selection is ok, offering the staples, and not much else. The hottest wing they offer is a nice heat, but far from a burn your face off title. All in all, if your looking for somewhere to grab lunch and a beer, mature patrons and layed back atmosphere, look no further.
First time at Tavern on Main and I will be back. From the service ( can t remember the girl s name Natia ) so friendly and funny , to the amazing chicken sandwich and the poutine oh so good ! The brioche bun was so fresh, the gravy was delicious & great selection of beer. A cosy little gem ! Can t wait to go back
Nice gold beer. Even wiezenbeer
Had fries and gravy. It was really good but you know, its still just fries and gravy.
Great atmosphere, awesome service and the food is always mouthwatering and delicious.
This is such a hidden gem in Fort McMurray for live music. Open Mic on Thursdays has a mix of musicians with originals and lively cover artists! Everyone is so welcoming and new artists are always welcome. The waitress are the best in town and the food is great pub style dishes. My favorite is the Greek fries.
Wings were delicious. Not overly greasy, nice texture. No heavy breading, lightly dusted. Quesadilla was loaded and large. Side salad was large with fresh toppings. Was a little disappointed with lack of attention paid to detail in terms of condiments. Preportioned sour cream(2oz) was half full. The salad dressings are in portioned packets. Two of them were cracked on the bottom resulting spoiled dressing. The other was expired which I had to spit out because it was bad. Not a deal breaker but servers should pay more attention to detail. It was not busy therefore the time was available. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I will probably give it another try as the overall food quality was decent.
Best Caesar!!!
Quiet local bar
Great beer selection, cool atmosphere, friendly staff. This place is a local gem. Stop in if youre in the area.
Love the open mic nights and the atmosphere.
Consistently delicious
Went there after work with some colleagues. We had a great time playing DJ and the food was great. Highly recommend if you bring your party, because there arent many people going out these days. The regulars are nice, and so are the staff!
Fun place to chill and drink awesome customer service
Not good it smells funny
Excellent fish and chips
Might be partial because this was the first pub my father and I ate at when we moved here in May 2012. Since then they have been consistently good on a low scale and great on the high scale. The food never disappoints! Try the poutine but don t for get to add mushroom, onions & pepperoni all fried up and in the poutine. Staff has always been friendly and prompt (unless it s packed place) whenever more food or drinks are needed. It s my personal go to place when I have a craving for just a good ole pub grub place! **pre pandemic they hosted lots of live music, trivia nights and much more**
They serve a wide selection of beer, only place on Fort McMurray that I can find that serves Alpine. Great staff fast and never need to ask for another drink (ever). Food is pub style fryer food, which is what youd expect. Its a nice spot.
Was a nice pub to visit
Typical pub.
Beer selection is pretty varied so thats great. The bartenders there are very friendly and attentive, despite the covid masks you can still see them smile. Ive only had a couple meals over a couple nights. The bison burger was great and the spaghetti and meatballs was fantastic! Ill come back for more for sure.
My Absolute Favourite place to go have a drink in town. Great food, even better atmosphere. Love the live bands.
Great place to go for a few beer, had a good time hanging out with a friend, met some new people.
Great food, fun trivia!
vearry good
Great live music when Good Spread is playing
Watch live band and open mic
Im new on the mac so....
Good experience.
Very friendly staff...
Good food and incredible service
Food was good, this is a pub that has decent food, vs a pub style restaurant. You are going here for a drink first and you might eat while youre there. But, if you choose to eat, the food is very good.
Wow the price of fries here is ridiculous
Waitresses very friendly and helpful, huge selection of beer (probably over 100 different ones) they have horse racing, trivia night, live music. Only downside is the mens washroom is tiny, if your at the 1 urinal the bathroom door can and will hit you in the back
Excellent place but needs to take better care of washrooms
Great pub for knocking a few pints back and the food is alright as well. Awesome service and lots of parking.
Great place! Its the place to go for live music in Fort McMurray. Nice staff. Diverse crowds.
Best place in the world.
This place is always a blast!! Boasting 167 different beers from around the world the Tavern on Main has a taste for everyone. Most nights they have some entertainment, trivia night, open mic, or local artists performing. This is one of my favorite Ft Mac bars
Decent band and good service. What more do you want?
Great Pub atmosphere. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. Lots of TVS to watch sports. There is also horse racing. This place is great for afternoon get always.
Besides giving every local musician their start? I would say I love that place based solely on their service. Its literally cheers. Feels like a family more than a business.
Great for drinks not great for food
Love the live music <3
Selection was great, service was slow. I would go there again.
Was here today and the waitress was rude to say the least! Didnt see if we wanted more drinks, when i finally got her attention for the bill she snapped at me, i interrupted her time with some guy! Wont go back here again!
First time here. Had the Sheppards pie. It was okay but could have been much better. Will come back though.
Friendly staff
Overpriced curry but it is tasty, they should increase the quantity when they are charging $21. We are on some strict diets now so we cannot visit on our weekend shopping trips.Thoug will keep Fatburger has a treat.They have some great baby burgers,my wife likes the and it will help on the waistline.
Great drinks and great homemade food! Small little pub with lots of class
Good beer. Tasty food. We went on name that tune night which was fun. Great atmosphere.
Very friendly service! Bison burgers are out of this world delicious!!
Thursdays are open Mic nights, local musicians. Great way to spend the evening, artsy, friendly atmosphere.
Standard pub food
Food was not great.
Best spot in town.
Got there just before kitchen closed food was terrible... wasnt drunk enough i guess..thought i couldnt go wrong with a burger and fries oh well beer was cold!!
I love the environment here.
Trivia night on Mondays is awesome!
I love this place for some reason. Very laid back little hole in the wall with good beer
Great chicken wings.
Wings night Tuesday.
Great service
Huge selection of beer from around the world.
The staff are friendly and pour a good beer. Good tasting wonton soup and healthy size too.
I m rating 4 stars - good, based entirely on the food. Got the chocolate cake, hot wings, and creme brûlée. All were very tasty, wings were as good as one can reasonably expect from a tavern and the cake was addictive. The other food I saw being served also looked great. Trivia Monday was fun.
Great international beer selection. Probably the best ive seen in all of Alberta. Atmosohere is nice however the guys yelling at the horse racing screen can get a little annoying.
Great staff, great food. Updated menu. Very good music and horse racing available!
Amazing atmosphere and outstanding, friendly and entertaining staff. Definitely one of the best places to go in Fort McMurray
Nice place, no pooltables!
Excellent place for food, drinks and live entertainment
Still the best wings in town.
Pretty sure its the only place in town you can bet on the horses; plus a Good place to stop in if you want to try new and weird beers from around the world the live music is nice sometimes i wish there was a little more space because when its busy you really notice it. but its cozy and has alright food. Has some amazing quotes on the walls to.
Always a good time !! Open mic Thursday is my favorite, good vibes all around
Excellent staff with great meals. Burgers are wonderful. Everything as ordered.
Good steak bites, but they need a better sauce.
A good little spot to drop in and have a few. A wide range of beers make almost any selection possible. Care to wager a bet on a pony? They have the place to bet on live horse races during the day. They have an ok menu of food selection to fill an appetite and if you like poutine there is huge! Stop in and say hi to Keith and his waitresses!
great food, cold beer. would definitely recommend.
Always a good time
Great spot
Decent food, fairly good service.
I love this place.. very friendly... remembers your name .. and what you drink...all about the simple things.. . Love the live music .. very friendly staff and locals
Great beer selection, great live performance!
Quite nice, good service, cold beer
Yummy food every time. mushroom and Swiss burger !!

Good music, great atmosphere, awesome place.
This place served me a boiled possum. It was delicious.
Staff was friendly enough. They serve drinks. Just another pub nothing special.
The best wings in town!
The best beer and hottest waitresses what can go wrong
Good food. A bit pricey
All good
Gigantic menu selection. Incredible variety of worldly beers. Servers were impeccable and head bartender was very professional. Highly recommend it to friends and family alike.
Love their wing nights on Tuesday ... and the music is allright too
