The Pub

Recently closed permanently.

Came here to the back lounge for a get-​together with people coming and going. I had a good time with the company, but unfortunately, the service was not very attentive to us.
It took a while for our servers to take our orders, bring our food, bring our checks, etc. We found that many people would wonder out loud where the waiter/​waitress was and that they had been waiting for their check for a while. Granted, it’s quite a task to serve a get-​together like this, but there’s something wrong when I keep hearing the same complaint over and over.
The pub sliders were pretty good (with the side of green beans), but a little overpriced. The goat cheese app was just ok. They sliced up pieces of pita for the creamy goat cheese — I felt like they took a special spread and made it just avg because of the lack of seasoning or even freshness of the pita.
Drinks were good — I had a 10oz chocolate stout and was pretty satisfied with it.
I like the idea of the pub being British and all, but overall it’s just ok.

Was at The Pub tonight and tried for the first time the «Pub Pizza.» OMG! I have to say this is the best item on the menu. It is big enough for two people to share and is truly great! Can’t wait to go back and have this again.

We have been here three times. Every time we have loved the atmosphere and the food and drink. We had the same server on two different visits and LOVED her, she was great (of course cannot remember her name! She kind of looks like Pam from The Office though)… On the other occasion, our server was very unpleasant but due to the place being so much fun, we just tried to ignore it. The appetizer goat cheese dip with marinara and almonds is TO DIE FOR!!! Warning: you may not be hungry for your meal after eating it!
Cannot wait to go back when the weather is warm to sit on the gorgeous open patio.

The Pub is absolutely maddening to me. It is hands down one of the most inconsistant restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life!
There’s something up in the kitchen that I can’t quite explain, because on the night’s when they are at their busiest is when I have gotten some great meals. On the slower nights I’ve visited the food was subpar.
The Bangers and Mash has been the only consistant meal on their menu that I’ve had. I’ve been let down countless times by their sheppherd’s pie — oily, gritty, and lifeless. They have some curries on the menu, and I know that in the UK curry dishes are all the rage, but it just doesn’t seem right. The rest of the menu is a tweaked or modified variation of other traditional pub fare. As far as dessert goes I’ve never been able to make it past the Jamaican Cheesecake. Thumbs up!
While the menu and atmosphere are a bit gimmicky (guys wearing kilts) — especially after repeated visits — the selection of bourbon and scotch is nothing short of impressive. The bar itself is a bit unconfortable as retail space is a precious commodity. It seems like every 6′ there is a huge black pillar that does nothing but take away from the bars surface area, and creats an unneeded congestion. They have ample seating on the patio, and an area inside with large wingback chairs to enjoy a pint like blue blooded royalty.
I will say this though. The ONLY REASON that they are getting 3 stars from me is because of their bloody mary’s. For the love of all that is holy they have some incredible mix that can be bought by the bottle to take home with you. The real key to what they’re doing is adding a quick splash of Guiness into the bloody mary’s. For me it works, and works really well.

This has become one of our favorite places to get a pint.
Great place in the winter or summer. Gated patio for the warmer months.
Flat screen tvs are nestled in corners to watch games, but not so obtrusive that they annoy non-​game watchers like myself.
Atmosphere is constructed like a big old Irish or London pub. High backed booths, big round tables in the back for groups, high chairs wrapped around the long bar.
I enjoy the impressive draught beer list featuring selections from England, Scotland, Europe, Ireland and America. You can get a sampler if you are indecisive like me. They also have a pretty solid wine, specialty drink menu, and feature single malt scotchs.
The food menu changes seasonally while maintaining a few regular items. The curry chips, steak fries with a selection of curry dipping sauces, are a must try and a year round staple menu The Classic pub fare fish and chips are quite good and a hearty portion. The pub pretzel bun is another favorite.
There are limited vegetarian options. There’s a portobello sandwich that sounds like it’s given some thought. They have a handful of fish items like ahi tuna sliders, a salmon panini, and the previously mentioned fish and chips. Last time we were there I had the pumpkin bisque soup. I love pumpkin.

Ventured over to the West Side today and stopped in here for lunch. I wasnt hungry enough for the fish & chips, so I went for the battered fish sandwich. Not bad! Also the filet was enormous, and I had to take half the sandwich home. Bonus points for the fried pickles, which I don’t see much around this area. Add on a snakebite, and I was a happy girl. My husband’s grilled chicken sandwich was also tasty. All in all, a solid choice for lunch I would say.

This place has an EXCELLENT atmosphere. Always has great club soccer on. The beer list is good, all the waitresses have been super nice. Overall the food is solid but come for the beer, friends and atmosphere.
Bonus — They have a cask for cask conditioned beers… they really need to get it fixed!

Went for dinner tonight. Nothing special. Food was good but not great. Half order of appetizers for $ 3.95 on Thursday (might have been happy hour special.) Service was good as was the ambience but not a place i will plan to often revisit.

I like the atmosphere of this place, they have tons of different types of beers from all over the world that I love. The food is pretty good. Theri artichoke dip is amazing along with their pot roast. My gf and I try to go there a few times a month for apps and their sangria’s in pitchers. Amazing! during the summer they have a lovely patio and cornhole right outside to keep you entertained along with bands. Overall, I really like The Pub, I feel welcomed there and the service has always been prompt

I’ve lived in England on two separate occasions during my life and despite those who think The Pub is over the top, I love coming here. I will admit that I’m not sure if I’ve ever ordered anything other than the fish and chips, but it’s because it’s that good. They have a new menu though that might persuade me to venture off one of these days. Someone I ate with got the pot roast and said it was amazing.
It’s really nice to be able to get a decent pull of a real British bitter beer off the tap, and their scotch prices are reasonable too — an added bonus.
Authentic? The foods good and the floors are clean, but otherwise, absolutely. I’ll be back.

I will be honest, I am a big fan of British culture, from their television shows to the way they dress. Something about that little island interests me. So when I heard of The Pub I had to venture.
We went on a Friday night, and it was not crowded at all, but there was a high school reunion on the patio so that was a kind of a bummer. Though the interior is very awesome, you can sit on couches and old looking chairs that seem like they are from your grandmothers house, and the tables are old wood looking, very neat.
The service is pretty good, quick, knowledgeable, and dress in kilts. The beer list is massive, which you would expect from a place called «The Pub.» The menu is very British Isle, sheppard’s pie and fish and chips are notable ones. The only problem with the meals, are the portions, incredibly small, I was shocked when they brought the food out. You get maybe a dozen extra large steak fries and then the main food, plus the prices are high for what you get. The food is nothing great very mediocre and forgettable. I would give it 4 stars for the beer list and the atmosphere, but the lack of great food and portion its gets a 3. Certainly a place to go out drinking, not a place to eat.

Been here several times for appetizers drinks. Place never really gets overly crowded and loud, which is my kind of scene. Pretty interesting décor and lots of space. If you don’t mind dudes in kilts, you’ll enjoy this place. Chips and curry, wings, and the goat cheese appetizer are really good. Also try a «Black Barrel» from the bar: half Guinness and half Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Don’t have to many, though, as those things are tasty but dangerous. Ample selection of whisky, too.

A cool, perfect summer night led me and my husband over to the Pub. We were in the area and I had never been there before, though he had on more than one occasion to watch World Cup and to get his beer on.
I like how there are three sort of disparate sections to this place. There’s the swanky, carpeted, quiet dining area; the black-​and-​white checkered floor area with booths surrounding the (humongous) bar; and the lively, family-​laden outdoor patio space. We were seated outside (our choice) by a tall blond guy in a kilt. Now that’s service.
Being a Monday, there was this cool trivia quiz going on. We came too late to get involved, but it seemed pretty fun with questions that weren’t obnoxiously obscure, yet not too easy either. Some examples were: What was Nemo’s dad’s name in Finding Nemo? A cynophobe is afraid of what animal? The Wailing Wall is in what city? etc. They also had a lightening round, where players had a list of oft-​used quotes from old TV shows and had to identify which shows they came from, as well as a music round, where 10 snippets of semi-​popular songs had to be identified along with their artists. I would like to drag a group of Unilocalers here on a Monday because I am certain we would friggin’ dominate.
The food was awesome. BUT we didn’t order gourmet. I knew walking in to have very low expectations. This was going to be one of my last «I’m pregnant; I am going to eat a crappy comfort food meal» experiences. SO: fried pickles and fish and chips it was.
The fried pickles were just. (sorry Brandon) AMAZING. And there were six spears! They were piping hot, crispy, and came with a great ranch-​type sauce. Much better than those at Buckeye, although I like those too.
Now, I really should say that I only order fish and chips from a place like this. a «British pub.» However authentic or inauthentic that actually is for this place, it doesn’t really matter. I knew the fish and chips were going to be great, and they were. Huge chunk of cod or whatever it was, with a thick batter. There was definitely a great proportion of fish to breading too — it wasn’t overwhelmed by the batter, which is great. The chips were much less appealing than the fish. In fact, I hated the fries. Doesn’t mean I didn’t eat ‘em, though!
My husband had the same meal as I did, and also enjoyed one of their MANY tapped beers (the bastard). I am certain that I will be adding the Pub to my «Beer Buddies» list just as soon as I can get a cold one down my gullet again.

The curry fries were intriguing – regular fries with yellow and red curry dipping sauce. I prefered the yellow. (The red only held my interest for a minute.) We shared them. They were very good for the first half, but we were over them by the second half; I was back to vinegar and ketchup.
BF reports that his double stout BBQ hamburger was very good. The fried pickle was excellent. The goat cheese was exactly as expected.
The beer selection was intriguing but (understandably) quite English in palette. They offer a sampler, which I always love! The dark beers were the standard Guinness-​Smithwicks-​Newcastle, but that might get more interesting in the winter time.
Not especially vegetarian friendly.

Was there this past weekend for the 2010 pub mini meet and they were more than welcoming. Lots of people. The server said they were short staffed but I couldn’t tell. The service was excellent and my beer glass was never empty. Had the spinach dip and pita. Good! Had the fish and chips and wow, best I’ve ever had I think. Sat outside and though there was a little rain, it was a nice seating area. Can’t wait until 6÷4÷11!

This review was pretty difficult to write. The experience, overall, was well, very average. I never visited a British pub before so I didn’t know what to expect…
I had the chocolate stout burger, cooked as I desired but it just seemed ok with its tastes. The fries are very large and thick.
They have a pretty good beer selection from England and Ireland [over a dozen] and have the prices and good descriptions of the beers in the beer menus, cool.
The service was very good: my grandpa doesn’t go out of his comfort zone often [and yes, the pub was out of it] and the server was very accommodating to him, his picky eating habits, and that we changed tables when we first sat down because he wanted a table with chairs that have backs on them [only a few tables here actually do].
A decent experience but the food didn’t make me want to go back anytime soon.

I really like the décor and theme of the place. but to be honest the food hasn’t been great either time I’ve gone. The first time I went I had the «Toastie» of the day. It was Provolone Cheese and Pep. Tasted ok, but nothing stellar. The second trip I had Chicken Fingers (I know way to eat something «British») and those were just nasty to be honest.
The drinks are always good though. I had a Blue Margarita type thing that is DELICIOUS-​and packs a punch!
