Mercer, Edmonton Alberta

Named after the builder John B Mercer, built in 1911, this 101 year old building (which also survived a fire) has been revamped for our enjoyment.
High ceilings, private nooks, open tables, creating a lofty, loungy, pub feel. It was a great first impression walking in.
You can feel the history yet enjoy the more modern ranch style.

Small batch brewers and a tasty wine list as well as their own classic cocktails some include Horses Neck, with Cognac, Ginger Ale, Bitters and lemon. Maple Manhattan, with Whiskey, Vermouth, Maple Syrup, Bitters, lemon and cherry. Crisp and simple.

Charcuterie board, Turkey sage sliders, AAA burgers, halibut and chips, house made ice cream! A twist to your typical pub fare. All prepared fresh with local ingredients.

I had Vegan Shepherd's Pie, with green lentils, spaghetti squash, smashed yukon gold potato, sweet corn, peas, wild mushrooms, toasted pine nut crust. Very tasty, great textures i would order it again.
Also had a Welsh beer, Celt gold organic Ale! Never heard of it before but was excited to try it and it was very good

Their motto is "Simple" which is what i am always looking for through my food journey.

I only had a small taste, but can not wait to head back for a casual yet superior dining experience...
