Food: Mediocrity meets mouthwatering

Vibe: Uninspiring decor, unworthy dates

If you're looking to impress a date, keep walking. The ambiance at The Pub won't be of any help to your cause. It's as if cheeriness was deliberately left out of the decor equation. However, they do get live music on weekends, and their drinks are a saving grace.

  • Great To Entertain

    Live music on weekends enhances the dining experience positively.

  • Okay Drinks

    Drinks are strong and well-poured, but pricing can be high.

  • Bad For Dates

    Not suitable for a first date due to the typical divebar atmosphere.

Perks: Speedy service in dreary surroundings

The outdoor seating may seem new and loved, but step inside and you're transported into a world that's seen better days. The service, however, is a breath of fresh air in this dingy setup - swift, efficient, and pleasing. Their group seating arrangement could use some improvement, but overall, it's not too shabby.

  • Great Service

    Service frequently described as friendly, efficient, prompt, and professional.

  • Okay For Groups

    Long tables present, but recommendation to improve group space.
