a pub experience...it almost feels like it's a franchise operation. take bennigans and make the food and drinks actually very good and authentic. the crowd is older - late 20's and up. families dine here too. they had pims at the bar -and the bar tender knew what it was, so there. as for happy hour, mostly 30-ish and up. upscale attire, but showing up in anything that reeks style (torn jeans? well, use your discretion). anyway, i've never felt 'uncomfortable' in a polo-type shirt and jeans. but do wear a belt. for similar comparison: see 'the black lab' (which i'd rate just a tad bit better). the bar people are friendly, and some of the waitresses have a london east-enders' accent which may make a guy feel sort' o randy at times, eh?
Pros: great food, drinks, service, 'english pub' atmosphere
Cons: vanilla clientele, tricky parking, 'franchice pub' ambience
