Great food especially the Brussel sprouts!! It was very tasty!

Had a bees knees cocktail, deviled eggs starter, burrata, and the green tomato BLT. It was all great! Definitely recommend.

Other girls in my party had the burgers and said they were excellent!

Great service, awesome hospitality, I felt like I was at my home bar 6 hours away. The bar staff and the cook were like friends. Beer selection was great , I even had a HAMM beer. I'd pass on another one but it was good. For my first time there I felt like I was at home. The food was delicious also. BLT was delicious to say the least. Pricey but worth every nickle. Definitely a Must Visit Pub. 5 stars for sure

Amazing food and service!!!

Many great nights were spent here having memorable moments and good food with mystery beers. Then it felt like food quality went down and we started going else were. Will try again soon to see if those moments can be revived.

There is no downside at all. I waited a bit for a smaller app. But omg it was worth the wait. The pork belly spouts are simply amazing. A complicated melody of tastes I could back for day after day. My date had poutine. I am dieting, I tried a bite, made me wish I wasn't dieting

Charming pre-show or happy hour venue. Food was delish and drinks reasonably priced. We were upstairs which allowed for conversation and was populated with a host of interesting people.

Atmosphere and service has been really good but the food is what really stands out. We’ve now been in twice within a month. The first time we went in we assumed it would be standard pub food but they far exceeded our expectations! The menu is somewhat small but they have really good specials (and multiple). First time we went I got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the clam chowder soup. They were both incredible but the sandwich won the show. This last time my husband and I both got the steak special. The price was very fair and it was unbelievable. Best meal we’ve had in a while (and I’m embarrassed to say that we’ve been eating out a lot lately 😅)

Stopped for a quick bite before a show at Proctor's and was pleasantly surprised with incredibly friendly, gracious, and quick service, not to mention great food!
