We wanted a cozy pub for dinner on a drizzly night and this was everything we wanted!đŸ”„â€ïžđŸ”„We were able to sit right by the fire. Beer selection was great. Our server went above and beyond, and I appreciated that very much. The pretzel was delicious and just right with my beer selections! As was my Shepherd’s pie. Both the crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e and pot de crĂšme were delicious. Coffee was good. If I lived near this pub, I’m sure I would be a regular. Thank you so much. 😊

What used to be a cozy little place is now a cozy big place. Great beer selection on tap and good bartenders to mix drinks. It’s British food so one should not expect anything with outstanding flavors. But still good for what they are. Excellent place to hang out with friends and have a pint or four.

This place was such a great find! It’s cozy, unique, and has such a friendly vibe. Andrew, our server, was amazing—seriously the definition of great customer service. He was super attentive, approachable, and made the whole experience even better.

For dinner, I went with the mac and cheese and the pub burger. The burger was the standout for me—simple yet perfectly juicy, just the right size, and paired with crispy fries and a tangy pickle on the side. It totally stole the show. The mac and cheese was also a win—comforting, flavorful, and not overdone.

I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m excited to dive into their beer selection!

Very cool pub vibe! Walked in on a Saturday night and they were packed, but got a table ready in less than 10 min. Fish and chips were great, along with the chip and dip

Great English Pub with lots of good English beers on tap. Old Speckled Hen was amazing! Loved their bangers and Mash and they have Coleman's Mustard and HP Sauce just like in the UK! Overall great place, just FYI this isn't an English Pub to watch soccer at but it's amazing regardless!
