Royal Exchange

Royal Exchange is open Mon-Fri, and reserved for private parties on weekends and often closes early on slower nights. This place is great to stop in for a burger and a beer for lunch. if you are going after work for happy hour, prepare to stand or get their early to secure a table. Ladies, tis true...there are way more men in here than there are women. However, it is a fine place to have a burger at lunch during the week.

Now, I am a huge fan of pies and beer. A winning combination at any price range! They have a wide variety of beers. The pies are also spectacular... they really do it right.

Mostly professionals after work come here, so they mostly interact amongst themselves, but you can built camraderie when good games are on TV.

This place is great to stop in for a burger and a beer for lunch! The meat was perfectly cooked, the bun was not your usual run-of-the-mill sesame, and the fries were perfectly done! I love the huge selection of beers, and the service was great.
I'll have to check it out for the after-work crowd.

The last place I want to be Friday after work is a bar crammed with people, at least a 20 minute wait for a beer and hot, stale air. There is nothing calming and relaxing about this place. If you enjoy re-living frat parties from your college days then this is the place for you. For those of us who have grown-up since college there are plenty of other bars in the area. However, it is a fine place to have a burger at lunch during the week.

Welcoming feel, just like a true English pub. Beers of any kind you could want. Bartenders friendly and atmosphere warm.
