Neighborhood Pub. Dark inside. The main part is Upstairs. Has a very small terrace above. Server was pleasant. Clam Chowder was good and New England...
Years ago I was here a Friday more regular. Came for the Veggie Burger before an afternoon movie in Cinecenta. I'm glad the Veggie Burger...
Here came an hour or so before closing. I had an appetizer of shrimps and some friends had drinks. The court was fine, but it was a little gland, slightly oily...
Just went to this pub yesterday(Labour Day Monday) with 2 family members. Went to have the nachos and chicken strips as an early afternoon snack as it opened at 12 noon. I have to say nachos had to be the worst I 've ordered in a pub....EVER!!! $26 for chips(which actually tasted good mind you), tomatoes, onions which we asked ?NO ONIONS?, and miniscule amounts of cheese on them. I mean half my chips I picked up didn 't even have anything on them. Loaded in onions. Didn 't even get the olives it said came with them. No wonder they put Extra Cheese as a topping you can pay $4 extra for. I bet that amount extra wouldn 't have even been a good amount to make them tastier. ?? I have to say the chicken strip are tasty. Then you get to wash it down with a ?$9.25 a pint for my beer. 3 people one drink each, nachos and chicken strips..... ?$87.00+ without tip! ?? Last time for this rip off joint.??
We went on a Monday afternoon, so we assume it wouldn't be too busy. And it was busy around 1pm but shortly after it slowed down. Needless to say the service could improve: a sandwich takes over half hour to make and the senior brunette waitress seemed to be upset she was working today. Apparently this pub is also a micro brewery or something alike because asking if they have a beer they don't seemed to offend the waitress. The one star goes to the hostess greeting us at the front and stepping out when we left on the side to wish us a great day.
