This place is such a gem! Came for dinner and some beers for the first time yesterday. Our server was so friendly and enthusiastic! We had the Monday meatloaf special and the pork chop meals and garlic fries. All were excellent! One of the best pork chops I've ever had!!! Also half off Manhattan's on Mondays as well! Guiness was poured beautifully! Can't wait to come back here!

Been coming here for 10 or so years. The prices have gone up but the food is still good and filling. Love the pork chop, corn fritters, and the pepe salad! Sometimes there's live music which is fun. Staff always great, but when it's busy be prepared to wait to place your order and get your food. Otherwise it's been a fun decade with this place and cheers to many more years of good food!

The food is excellent, the only complaint might be the noise level makes it hard to converse.

DO NOT GET THE VEGGIE BURGER. They ought to be ashamed selling that nasty thing for 18. 😩😩😩 The pork chop was pretty good. Mashed potatoes were delish. The place is a little bit of a dump….and the kids area is kinda messy/run-down. Service meh. We ended up spending 138 after tip for two adults and two kids. You can probably find a lot better options for your money. I wished we had gone to the pizza place across the street instead which was very busy. 😩
Big time worth going to visit guys. The Prime rib is to die for my friend Jack n I went had a ball. Very nice staff to give you attention so please go. You can thank me later

Fantastic place to go with young kids. There's a play area with loads of toys. Thank you to the waitress who accommodated my bill splitting request.

I visited this restaurant with my girlfriend and friend after hearing a local band would be playing. Tonight was a full house, I did not see a single empty seat throughout the pub.
Starting with the food, I got the Dover sole with lemon caper sauce. It seemed to be a lighter (and presumably healthier) choice compared to burgers, pasta, etc. The fish came with broccoli and rice on the side. Everything was very tasty; the fish was soft and flaky and went really well with a squeeze of lemon. The rice was soft, fluffy, and had a good flavor from the pico de gallo.
The main selling point tonight was the atmosphere. We had front row seats to the show: a local swing jazz group.
Overall, great place to eat and share a drink or two with friends and chat.

Not sure how/why Circus pub is only rated at 4.4 stars but I needs to be much higher. The people are great, the food is exceptional and the atmosphere wonderful. Easily one of my favorite spots. (Try the toffee, you will get hooked on it.)

The fish & chips were disappointing and I had high hopes for the British-style pub. The fish batter was not crunchy at all and separated easily from the fish. The fish was overcooked. The chips were few and not crispy either. The tartar sauce was a thick chunky relish, not creamy. If you have ever been to the UK, you will be disappointed. Sadly, there is no good british-style fish & chips in the bay area. On a positive note, staff was friendly.

A group and I came here on a whim after our show, and when I say I was blown away, I mean it. From service, to quality, to price, this place is doing it right.
We happened to be sitting in Jenny's section, and she was so lovely. She took care of us and even though the place was packed, like multiple turn over on tables packed, Jenny made sure to keep us updated on food times, and drink orders. She was the epitome of what good service is! She even brought out extra onion rings because our food was taking longer than expected! Did she need to do that? Not at all- but on top of all of that, the owner came out to apologize about food times! It was incredible! this place gets it - if you want repeat customers, you make them feel like family, and that's what we felt like, family.
Now let's talk about the food and the quality of it. My husband convinced me to order the rib eye, which I had no intention of doing, but my guy has a special talent for instantly knowing a quality kitchen, and let me tell you, he hasn't been wrong yet! The quality of the steak they serve is better (and larger) than most restaurants in SF. It was a marbled thing of beauty (not to mention, bigger than my head!)
This place is gem, and if you happen to be around at the right time of night, you might just see the mayor, Odin, stop by for a special treat!
