Went in for a World Cup game. The place was empty outside of maybe 10 regulars gathered around the bar. We had the most rude server I’ve ever had before. My friend ordered a beer and was brought the wrong thing (Color and taste waaaay off). We mentioned it, not as a complaint but as a suggestion that maybe there was a mix up. The server, without checking, decided to deny there had been an error. No offer to check. No offer to discount or grab something else (it’s fine, he was going to finish it, but it wasn’t what he ordered). Just really cranky, rude and unprofessional. We went since it was the literal closest pub to his house, but 2 blocks away there are dozens of better choices. We won’t be back no matter how charming Christmas lights in July are.

What a very fun place to go. Mainly, because of the people that attended their. Plus the food is outstanding, with lots of daily specials. You can tell that the kitchen staff must seem to have fun in the back with some of their creations and how the food comes out. Nothing special about the plate design, just really tasty good comfort food. Eat in and they will have price reductions. I totally recommend try the place out. I I had a complaint it would be that I wish they had a pool table and dart boards.

Came here on a Saturday night because of a recommendation from a friend. I was told that the steak sandwich was popular, so I thought I'd give it a try. As you can see (or maybe not see in the attached photo as it's obscured by the onion rings), it's the smallest steak sandwich I've ever had. Having said that, it was flavorful, and I would have gladly paid more for a larger portion. After the mini steak, I decided to order a small Hawaiian pizza to fill the gap. When it arrived, it looked like a blackened pizza. Another guest at the table who has been there before said, "I'm surprised they served that to you because normally it looks a lot better." To top it off, the pop was flat and it was so syrupy sweet I'm not sure if it was actually Coca-Cola. Maybe they had an off night, but there are so many other pubs that have consistently good food and beverages that it would be hard to justify a return trip. On a positive note, the chicken wings that my guest ordered were a decent size and were on special that night, so that was good.
