Decent atmosphere of all ages. Seems like good clean fun. No fights or crazy stuff happening. I've enjoyed coming here on two separate occasions so far.

Two female bartenders couldn't be bothered to interrupt their conversation to get us beers for 10 minutes. Similar issue trying to pay. I'm not one to complain, but it's like they didn't care at all about their jobs.Sunday night10pm

If you want to be relaxed and get away from the toxic atmosphere for a while, this is the ideal place. Very good atmosphere, good food, service of another level.They only let us sell our roses ? out there ?? I think that in our situation we will never be able to afford drinks in that fantastic

They wouldn't let me in because they didn't know how to read a passport. Told me to talk to the police, when the police cleared me they still said I couldn't go in. They were discriminating against me because I was dressed very "gay." I went 3 rounds about how to read a passport. They need to educate their bouncers and make sure they aren't drinking/smoking because I hadn't even gotten a drink yet, but their bouncer was already inebriated.

Me and my friend walked in for a beer. Mind you this will be important in the story. We were denied service by the Bar man March 9th 2024 at 4:30pm.... because my friend was too intoxicated... the funny part is... he didn't drink at all today and we walked in respectfully like you would to any bar... and I told the barman that neither of us had anything to drink today, he said "my bad, have a good day" and told us to leave... insane.

Britannia Arms has to update their website to reflect the karaoke and trivia and other events that are happening at their bar. I came with a group for karaoke on Monday night which is what their website stated and they had trivia night instead. It's ok to change your schedule but please update your schedule online otherwise it's unprofessional.

I've been here a few times and this is a good bar with an outstanding karaoke following. You are guaranteed to have fun if you like a loud and lively crowd.

Walked in to a very busy bar vibe. Glanced at by the bartender a couple of times, but faded in among the crowded scenery.It seemed like 1 bartender handling the packed downtown crowd, a far cry from the amazing service at Monarch just up the road.Reviews mentioned the fish and chips (good and bad) but nobody was earing in the bar.Parking: Had to park in a restricted park lot and crossedy fingers that I didn't get towed.

Bartender was a jerk. I don’t mind bad service but when you complain about me not tipping is where I have to call you out. I don’t mind tipping but when you decide to talk to customers in Spanish saying how I don’t tip you for one beer is where I have to say that you’re a bad bartender. Please tell your bartenders to serve well and pay attention to needs. I may not have the bartenders name but I ain’t spending my money where I know I won’t get good service

Super rude bartenders and security who don’t know customer service, terrible food and drinks. The manager shouldn’t be the manager. He allows locals to harass you if you show any bit of fun. Stay away from this place!

Worst pub ever! Haven't change decor in 20 years. Dirty sticky bar and 10 bucks for a pint of Stella. I expected better.

College town bar, good music, environment has a great vibe. Girls, watch out for creepers. Saw a group of guys, not drinking or dancing, hovering around girls just staring. Just be alert is all.Only came here because I used to go to the one in San Jose pretty frequently.
