7 Best Gastropubs near Claremont

“You can always get a great beverage and meal at The back Abbey.“

“The food was amazing.
The service was on another level.
The vibes were immaculate.

First off, their menu is on definitely top notch. It's hefty, but they have an index in the back which shows all the pictures/descriptions of the food (amazing for any first timers). We ordered the dynamite steamed egg, kimchi cream pasta, cheese buldak chicken, and chicken gizzard stir fry. The steamed egg is definitely an upgrade from usual steamed eggs. It's super fluffy and is the perfect start to any meal. I've been craving some korean pasta recently and couldn't find a decent place. Yet, this place does it right. Although I wish there was a bit more, the cheese buldak is that silent creeper in terms of spice but super delicious (tip: ask for rice so that you can mix it with the leftover sauce). The chicken gizzard stir fry is that perfect balance between chewy and savory. Definitely a fan.

The service was amazing. The owner/servers are super attentive and accommodating beyond words. We were sitting near the door and people were smoking outside, so he ended up constantly closing the door and opening to let our dining experience not be negatively affected. Unmatched. They really care about their diners.

It's a smaller place, so during events (WC) and weekends, it can fill up rather quickly. So, make sure to plan accordingly. It's definitely worth it. It's located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items. A+++!“

“Ashley, Chelsey, Mike, and Kelly are awesome. Great place to be! 🙂👍“

“Pretty good selection of micro-brews. It may be a little smaller than the offering they had when they were located a few doors down at the corner of Gary & 2nd, but it's good enough. I've now forgotten the wheat ale I ordered, but it was local and it was good. The brisket sandwich I ordered was outstanding. We must have hit the bartender at a bad moment because when we arrived he didn't seem too keen on our arrival. When I asked what beer was new or something he could recommend, he kind of blew me off. Thought it kind of odd. But, he did come around and grew pretty chill as our lunch progressed. Chalk it up to a bad moment that I don't think had anything to do with us. All in all, I like the Rookery; hanging out on the back patio with a microbrew and a sandwich was exactly what I was looking for.“

“Quality food and service.“

“Interesting food! We came to support a friend's band playing. It took a very long time to get a table, the place was pretty packed on a Saturday night. The food was a little pricey, service was a little slow but not bad. Fries were $9, charcuterie board $35.“
