not bad
Pas mal means "not bad" in English, for example, Ce n'est pas mal, means "It's not bad".

Addendum
Firstly, typo error - it is 'pretty' not 'prettey'!
Well, both the suggestions are correct:
1) Not bad
2) Pretty good
It is the way one looks at things! Like, an optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty! It's just like that!

Just another suggestion. In some cases, it can mean the above. J'ai vu pas mal de monde dans la rue.
