Did not prepare my online order because they had disconnected from that service, but did not stop offering it.
The guy with the ponytail working tonight, Thursday 11/21, was extremely rude because we ordered drinks and asked if we should pay with him. He then got upset because my friend was putting on lipgloss while he dropped off the drinks.
He didn’t like us questioning him and asked the front door to escort us out and made the DJ pause the music until we left the bar.
An extremely immature and unnecessary move for someone who can simply ask for a card to keep a tab open.
We were recommended this bar by a friend and we can confidently say we would not be coming back nor recommending this pace again due to his rude remarks as we were exiting and lack of communication.

Very good place and
Only bad thing is the manager wanted to kick us out because my sister fell asleep while we were watching the game? How and why? Never heard of anything like that. I am also sure they will try to defend themselves for this.

Very aesthetic and welcoming place! 100% recommend
My husband and I ordered drinks of their specials menu. The bill came and they did not honor the price. When we brought it to their attention, the bartender stated that we didn’t specify we wanted the special’s pricing. Absolutely absurd.
Don’t go there in the evening definitely unsafe my sister had her purse stolen cameras don’t even work shady af

I stopped at the Brit last night as well as a few months ago while in town for work and had unimpressive experiences both times. They're supposedly open till 10, but the bartender shut off TVs and security was putting chairs on the bar by 8:30 within minutes of me arriving. It was dead in there. I was one of maybe 6 patrons. The security guy at least was considerate enough to ask if I minded him putting up chairs next to me, to which I shrugged and said "Fine by me. Guess you guys are closing early. I'll finish my beer and be on my way." He said that they always close early, and assured me I could stay and shouldn't feel rushed, but how the am I supposed to feel when you shut off the TVs and start hanging chairs? I felt like my presence was unwelcome and all they wanted to do was go home. I can't give an opinion on the food because I obviously didnt have a chance to try it. Didnt even get offered a menu.
Based on my repeated experiences separated by several months, the other recent reviews I have just read, and the owners responses which are chocked full of excuses and justifications about how it was a long day that day, and it takes a long time to close up, I will not be returning to this establishment. I am sure the owner will respond with something about it being slow and how expensive payroll is, but to that I would suggest you focus on creating an environment that makes guests feel welcome to keep people in your bar (also known as revenue) versus closing early and trying to keep your costs down (expense).

This place is pretty cool for a pub. Me and my family went here for a private football event hosted by Chelsea if u know what team that is. Food was okay, and drinks aren’t special. Service was like 10 min for drinks and for food like 20, but there were like 400 people in the bar so it was actually pretty fast. If u ever get to go here, try the Bavarian pretzel.

We visited the pub on an extremely busy day, we went into the restaurant with an open mind knowing how busy it was due to the euros final. Unfortunately we left dissatisfied. However the general manager and owner reached out to us and left an AMAZING impression. They were very kind and thoughtful. I truly feel good management and service can impact an establishment. The owners response really changed our outlook on our visit.

Watched Copa America here, they close at 10 pm but started shutting off screens at 9:15 pm and asked people to leave. It’s a sports bar but doesn’t know how to act like one I guess. The server was good, she had to handle a large crowd and still kept her calm. The security guy was the one who shut off the ceremony and kicked people out. That is not okay especially after such an important game.
