However, by the time we were walking back to our car for the final leg of our journey, we jokingly said we should consider moving there just for Shrub Pub. Sitting at the bar, we had a great time chatting with the bartenders and the owners, Max and Rocco. They kept suggesting and serving us an array of delicious food and drinks, and we truly didn’t want the fun to end.

The food is excellent, and the bar, restaurant, and patio seating are all very pleasant. The current drink selection is great, although I wish they would bring back the brewery events they used to host. The service is generally good—no complaints there. The only reason I deducted stars is that the upstairs bar is often closed due to staffing issues. It did reopen for a while in late 2020, which was understandable, but since then, it has frequently remained closed.

Bellied upto the bar we enjoyed the banter with bartenders and Shrub Pub owners Max and Rocco. They kept recommending and serving usdelicious food and drinks and we really did not want to stop enjoying the explosion of deliciousness. From the Shepherd Pie andSalmon sliders, to the ales, stouts and old fashion we returned to our evening interstate drive with a bounce in our step.
