The bar owner Tom had sex with a minor a few years ago and was mean to LGBTQIAPD clients. We are happy this homophobic paedophilic bar shut down permanently.

We went today only to find out they were closed, so bummed. Hopefully it is only temporary.

Excellent service from bartender. Five stars. Food was a solid four, so rounding up. We had Fish and Chips and Chips with Curry Sauce. Batter on fish turned mushy pretty quickly, but dish had good flavor. Interior is not at all reminiscent of a British pub, it's very dark, but with generic tables and chairs. No snug, booths or other typical accoutrements of a British pub in the UK. The only British pub feature is the bar itself. My parents used to go there 40 years ago and said it reminded them of home. Not so much now, but still a good bar. Just don't expect a British pub experience and it will be great.

The original brit. The greatest vibes. Full bar complete with top shelf cocktails, micro brew, knowledgeable bar tenders, fantastic food and live music. Free safe parking, and right off the freeway. 10/10

Amazing hospitality with a welcoming patio and great pub chips. Best place to watch the game.

Best burger in town. Love the fish and chips, one of the coolest and largest beer choices and a real family friendly environment. Great live music and bartenders who care.

I go for trivia every Tuesday night. Good food and good atmosphere.

We had a quesadilla and fish and chips they were both amazing. Also I love that the food came quickly and arrived super hot and fresh. Also I really enjoyed watching the soccer game playing on one of the TVs above the bar. If you want to bring your dogs they are allowed at outside seating. Without dogs there is plenty of insight seating as well. I hope to go back again next time I am in town.

The Brit is one of the great staples of Santa Clara county pub life. Truly a place where you can become extended family and make lifetime friends. Great darts, live bands, an eclectic hosting of drafts and import bottle and canned refreshments that can satisfy that drifting need for familiar flavors and environment that can plague even the most weathered of travelers.Patty, is one of the finest bartenders and people I have had the honor of being friends with. It had been 17 years since I last stopped in and we were thick as thieves from the start. A blessing for sure, to be remembered, welcomed and treated fondly.
Very friendly and attentive waiter. Pizza was good. Drinks generous.

I've been coming here for 30 years. It's a great spot. Good food, good people, good atmosphere. Good place to watch sports especially soccer. They have a good outside setup.. TV outside. Ventilation.. Heat.

4 stars - for the service, otherwise vibes & food were a solid 3.5 starsMy sister and I came here around 5PM on a Thursday and the place was empty apart from a few regulars camped out. The interior of the place is typical sports bar and sports bar levels of unkempt, nothing out of the ordinary. But they have a pretty nice patio seating arrangement (dog friendly) so we got a table outside.You're meant to order at the bar, but while we were looking at the menu the bartender came up to us and said he'd be happy to take the order at our table since there wasn't any other business. He was prompt and friendly and made an effort to have two youngish women feel comfortable & less out of place, which I appreciate. 4 stars are for you my guy.The menu had typical British fare but also randomly an entire section for street tacos and burritos. We ended up getting the Fish & Chips Combo, Veggie Pizza, and a cup of the Clam Chowder.Fish & Chips Combo - 5 stars. Oof. It came out hot, the fries were crispy and perfect, everything seasoned well... we wished we'd gotten two orders after the first bite.Veggie Pizza - 3.5 stars. Crust was thin and crispy as we like, good sauce to cheese ratio, but for whatever reason the veggies were cut in an absurd manner - mushrooms were diced to smithereens but the onions were MASSIVE. You could expect to just chow down on an onion every other bite.Clam Chowder - 1 star. Flavor was there, a little heavy on the salt, but the texture was so deeply offensive we barely ate any. It was as though the "soup" (it can't be called a soup, it was entirely solid) had no cream and only cornstarch. Super weird. Can still feel it in my mouth. Don't want to think about it.Food was a bit hit or miss, but I'd go back for the excellent Fish & Chips and the promise of live music.

This was my go to for fish and chips back in college. The place looks like it's not very well taken care of anymore and it seems as if the BAR is more the focus these days then the food service. That being said, they still have one of the best fish and chips I've ever had and would go back again just for that.

I love attending the open mic comedy every Thursday evening. Come check it out!Great bar and food at Britannia. Amazing fish and chips, delicious steak fries, good burgers too. And Guinness on tap, of course.
