Gastropubs near Willoughby

“I was surprised that Ballantine did not have a better star rating. We are passing through. Most well rated Willoughby restaurants were very full. Ballantine is a large place, lots of wood, with some crannies, one being in the back with a mantle and gas lighted fireplace. In live music before it switches to current sports. Special dinner: Clams which were very fresh, clam chowder with fresh vegetables, and a huge hamburger with greens. All good. Staff people were super friendly and helpful. A beautiful lighted outdoors with floor to ceiling glass. Couldn't have been any better. Thank you, Ballantine.“

“We had such a great time playing there!! Great crowd and friendly service toward the Pawn Band.“

“Everything was just about what it should be for a sports bar. People were great, plenty of TVs, pool and dart area. I got the hot chicken with onion rings/stars and there were not that many of them. Amp up the portionw for things like this and we are 5 stars.“
