Boasting an inviting and convivial atmosphere, this establishment sets the stage for a relaxed experience—even if the noise levels occasionally rise above a pleasantry. The pub prides itself on an extensive menu, featuring crowd-pleasers like their renowned nachos and a universally praised BBQ chicken wrap, also available in a vegan version with a particularly crispy finish. Service is delivered with consistent friendliness, ensuring guests feel welcomed, albeit amid an ID policy that can bewilder some patrons. The venue caters to sports enthusiasts with its television screens positioned strategically—though expect the ambiance to become a tad more electric during football events. On a quieter visit, patrons can enjoy the outdoor beer garden—weather permitting or engage in a variety of board games available, although some pieces may be missing. Overall, this pub manages to blend lively entertainment with laid-back comfort, making it a convenient spot for both socializing and casual dining.
