Cozy neighborhood spot. Burgers and pesto pasta are excellent . The owner is friendly and is often seen chatting with the customers. Weekends bring in bands and full crowds.

Kensington Circus Pub is such a hidden gem & most certainly one of our favorite neighborhood places to tuck into. It's not only a fun place to watch a game with friends, but also just for date night to cozy up to the bar for comfort food, a cocktail or freshly poured Guinness, and conversation. Love the British pub feel! Food highlights: corn fritters, thick cut fries, the clam chowder, Caesar salad, Shepherds pie, fish tacos, tuna melt, B.L.A.T. (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato), and thick cut pork chop to name a few. As you can see, we've been eating here for a few years - the food is always consistent, fresh, hearty portions, and honestly there's such a variety it keeps the overall ordering experience just so fun! The servers make you feel like family and the ambience is lively, especially when sports are on or live entertainment (check their website for the event calendar). We recently stopped in on a weekend evening for dessert, drinks, and music. They have what's called "England's most popular sticky toffee pudding" with a tagline that reads "so good that we have it flown in"...omg they aren't joking! It's so delicious - warm, in a bath of butterscotch sauce with vanilla ice cream and whip cream...yum! Can't rave about this community joint enough - with indoor/outdoor seating, kiddo/dog approved, ample areas for street parking, we'll see ya again for tunes and toffee pudding soon!

This British style pub is superb and the vibes are as well ! The food is delicious but a little heavy in the salt and the fish and chips are done right !!!!! I'm a big fan of the fireplace and the friendly family atmosphere that makes getting a table really hard !!!! Love you all !!! Keep up the good work ! KD

The greasiest veggie burger I've ever had in my life! The fries were soggy and super greasy. The plate was covered in grease at the end. For a "British pub", no British and only 1 Irish beer on draft & none in bottles. The service was good, it was clean and atmosphere was fine but the food was super disappointing.

Came here and had the pleasure of Jenny serving us, the most lovely experience. Fantastic music, and vibes. She was so on top of our many orders and went above and beyond. Can’t say enough lovely things.

While the prices are slightly above average, the diverse menu, with options ranging from lamb and beef to fish , enjoyable atmosphere, and family-friendly play area for kids make it a worthwhile experience overall.

A reputable british pub serving some amazing "circus" fish & chips, fries definitely double fried, blackened and crunchy, and the fish flaky and moist, sooo good! I wasn't too big a fan of the tartar sauce here though. We also had the pepe salad, and it was fresh and tasty as well, and large in size, good enough for a filling meal (it better be with the high prices here). We enjoyed live music by the Undertones cover band between 8-10pm, awesome sounds on the electric guitar and bass, drums, and saxophone. They played great songs including Let's Stay Together, Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, and If I Ain't Got You (by Alicia Keys). Along with a really good speaker system and sound quality in the restaurant, this set the mood for the perfect night. With a lovely atmosphere including quirky decor and Beatles posters, 5 large TVs for enjoying sports, plenty of tables as well as bar seating, easy parking across the street, and friendly service, this was a great spot to enjoy a delicious dinner before going to a show later in the evening. Even though the drive here was a bit out of the way for us, it was worth it.

Recently a bunch of us went to the Circus Pub. The food was mediocre but better than last time with the same cook. After taking the orders, the waitress had to ask to which diner the dish should be delivered. Irish coffee was delivered with an overflow of whipped cream. It was necessary to beg for a spoon. Napkins and cutlery were not initially on the table. No candles for the birthday cake. One of the diners went home to get a candle. We have gone to the pub for more than 20 years and it was fun to say it was better than the last time we were there.
Great food, great service, fun atmosphere, great bands.
