Tucked into the heart of Greenwich, Little Pub delivers the kind of warm, lively energy that makes lunch here feel like more than just a meal--it's a pause in the day that borders on celebration. My visit on September 20, 2025 was marked by consistently good flavors, creative menu options, and a craft beer list that feels thoughtfully curated for enthusiasts who appreciate variety. With a rating of 4 stars, this is a spot that nails comfort with a twist, while leaving just enough room for refinement to aim even higher.

The meal began with the South by Southwest Egg Rolls, and they set the stage beautifully. Crisp, golden wrappers gave way to a hearty filling of chicken, cheddar jack, beans, and corn, with the flavors balanced perfectly by a cool, smoky cilantro-chipotle dip. Each bite had a satisfying crunch, and though indulgent, the dish avoided being greasy--a tricky feat for fried starters. It felt like pub food taken seriously, elevated by that bold Southwestern accent.

Next came the Napa Salmon Flatbread, which leaned toward the inventive side of the menu. Blackened salmon can often dominate, but here it played in harmony with the shredded cabbage, bright pico, and creamy guacamole. The drizzle of chipotle honey and cilantro-lime sour cream tied it all together, offering both heat and freshness. The flatbread itself had just the right chew, though I could imagine an even crisper base making this dish truly stellar. Still, the balance of textures--crunchy cabbage, tender salmon, and creamy toppings--made it one of the highlights of the meal.

For something more substantial, the Kick' N Chick' N Sandwich delivered comfort with flair. The beer-battered chicken breast was the star: juicy inside, perfectly crunchy outside. The smoked gouda added a rich, mellow sharpness, while the bacon and maple-BBQ sauce pushed it into indulgent territory. Field greens and ranch kept things grounded, ensuring it wasn't overly heavy. It's the kind of sandwich that feels like a reward, and one I could easily see becoming a regular order.

Of course, no visit to Little Pub is complete without exploring their microbrew beer selection. The choices were well-rounded, appealing to casual drinkers and hop aficionados alike. Pairing a crisp local IPA with the egg rolls and a smoother amber ale with the chicken sandwich proved how much thought has gone into curating the list--it's clear the beers are more than an afterthought; they're a key part of the experience.

Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, particularly when recommending beer pairings. The ambiance leaned into cozy pub vibes, warm and welcoming, with just enough bustle to keep the energy up without tipping into chaotic.

In short, Little Pub Greenwich offers creative spins on comfort food staples, a beer program worth exploring, and a setting that invites you to linger longer than you planned. While a few tweaks could elevate dishes from excellent to unforgettable, the combination of flavor, variety, and charm makes it a Greenwich favorite worth returning to.

Dependable, cosy family spot. Fireplace is nice in the winter. Good pub food, we love the burgers. Servers are friendly and efficient, menu has something for everyone at very reasonable prices. Lots of little kids, this isn't a spot for romance. Also (free)parking can be a hassle, even with the use of 2 adjacent lots.

Always perfect from cocktails, food, ambience and service. And Monday live music with Mark Zelenze is a must.

Always oustanding food, service and value. Never disappoints. The staff is adept at making everyone feel welcome. Little Pub feels like a country inn on the side of a stream in Vermont, but a lot more convenient.

Very impressed! Have been here a few times now. Most impressed with the consistent service of Angelique. One of the best servers I have ever experienced! Her level of service is consistently excellent despite the day and who she is tending to. Please notify the owner/manager about her on my behalf. She deserves special acknowledgment and reward! The entire staff has been welcoming and friendly. I thank The Lord Jesus Christ for directing my family to your restaurant. I pray He continues to bless you all, your families and your loved ones!

Great food & great service. Had a great meal with my son, started with their take on the Onion Soup was delicious, my son had no complaints on the Mac and cheese. Then I had an order of the pickle wings. A must have no distracting sauce on the wings they were crisp and juicy and bursting with pickle flavor the dipping sauce was a perfect compliment. My son finished with a burger cooked to perfection the way he asked for it and I finished with the Dragon Roll Burrito, perfectly infused Mexican/Japanese execution. Was not disappointed with anything and took home a piece of the chocolate peanut butter pie and it was to die for. Highly recommend this place it’s just a hop skip and a jump from the Bronx only 30 minutes north worth the ride.

My friend and I both had the pulled pork sandwich, which was tender and delicious. The service was very good, and the price reasonable. The place was quiet for a lunch hour.
