The menu features classic pub-style food, which tends to lean towards indulgent options like burgers, pizza, and fried items. While I’ve had a pleasant pint or two, the food options really don’t appeal to me.

Thursdays are a highlight, as this pub inside Whole Foods Market features a Beyond Burger and a pint for just $10. It's truly one of the best bargains in the city!

However, you’re welcome to bring in vegan meals from Whole Foods to enjoy while others order from the menu. It’s a decent lunch spot, though it can be quite noisy and the seating feels limited and supermarket-like, making it less ideal for dinner unless you’re dining solo. The Beyond Burger was tasty and my friends enjoyed it. I had a BBQ tempeh sandwich from Whole Foods, which was flavorful and only $7. The kids also liked the veggie sushi they brought from there.

The seating includes bar stools, tall tables, and smaller low tables. There are plenty of TVs to watch sports on as well. Since it’s located inside the Whole Foods store, you can purchase food and enjoy it alongside your beer. The staff is very friendly too.
