1979 Sports Bar & Grill

Stopped here on the way home from Edmonton and had great service and a fantastic meal on the patio! Good potion size and quality food. I flew in from 4 days in Chicago and this was the best meal I had all trip. I will be back!

Great food very nice place with friendly service, food prices were very good but the drinks were expensive.

Sahara, we can't even express the impeccable and amazing service we received. You made us feel so welcome Food and drinks were exceptional and my sons infantry graduation day will be remembered. Thank you Also best women's bathroom ever

Fantastic establishment that serves top-notch steaks. Had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. Co-worker had the steak sandwich and also said he was pleased with the meal. Located in Wainwright and worth the stop if your in the local area.

Rave to 1979 Taphouse & Grill for a memorable St. Patrick's Day dinner. The food was great, and the service from Harli & Ru was absolutely spectacular! This was my first time here. There was a large selection of appetizers that it took us a while to decide. We've settled on the Drunken Mussels (immersed in Guinness beer mixed with onions, tomatoes and spices) with the freshly baked bread cut into good sizes for dipping. Very nice aroma and flavour of the sauce. The dry ribs were amazing. They were lightly seasoned and cooked just right. The Calamari with the signature battered squid, battered jalapenos, red onions was tasty. It went so well with their signature dipping sauce. Soup of the day was a homestyle Potato Bacon Soup. It was very creamy and loaded with potato and bacon .... delicious! The Prime Rib with the mashed potatoes filled with herbs and spices was out of this world. I really enjoyed how none of their dishes were salty, just right. (At the Keg, I find all their meat and vegetables are loaded with so much sodium that you can hardly taste the flavour of the food) The Sirloin Steak was very well marinated and cooked to perfection with the grill marks for that extra taste. The steak was juicy and not burnt or dry on the bottom. The baked potatoes was excellent and went well with their freshly made bacon pieces and green onions. Despite being a busy Saturday night; Harli & Ru ensured our food came out hot and timely. From the appetizers to the main course to the bill. They have checked up on us continuously as well as the other guests there to ensure everyone enjoys their time here. They had plenty of staff members tonight to provide excellent customer service for everyone. Thank you 1979 Taphouse & Grill; We'll see you next time for dinner, this time we'll make room for dessert :)

Spend a few night a year in Wainwright for work, always like coming to the Taphouse. Nice servers, good food and a cool atmosphere. The guy that I figure is the owner is always around and helping his team. Few different types of tables for all kinds of customers.

I've traveled a great deal around the world and this is one of the best pubs I have ever been to anywhere. The service is outstanding, efficient and fast. The food is well chosen well cooked and reasonably priced. A good selection of draft beers including one craft beer. A decent wine list. The music was a nice mix and played at a reasonable volume. It wasn't too low to hear and it wasn't so loud it interrupted conversations.

Food was great! Very nice place and friendly staff.
