JamesRiver (1), , does not count - explanation | | January 21, 2012 Yeah, repeating reviews from others, they changed name, menu, wanted to get rid of the best of the UK food, expand menu, not much of a change, was never the best of anything nor UK. Selections don’t change much so not worth mentioning, pricey 8 bucks or so for tap selections.
I think the reviewer who stated it feels like a British version of Applebees got it right, I was going to say one of those business hotel bar/restrautants, and prices, that just runs together in your head. You know, you are there with the rest of the suits because you don’t know the area, don’t have a rental car, or just don’t want to go out again.
The bar is pretty, but just a faux PUB front, in a what is nothing more than a mall. Did you see the Target Store in the parking lot, The Mattress store? :)
| | csaso (71), Missouri | | December 21, 2011 Nice place with a decent selection - about 15 or so taps plus 20-30 bottles. Lots of good imports, high end ones too. Did not try the food, but looks good. The big negative I can say about this place is that it has a very "chain" kind of feel. I feel like I’m in a British version of Applebees or something. | | Braudog (611), Hampton, Virginia | | July 21, 2011 Been here several times under "The Pub" chain moniker. Recently they bought themselves out from under the corporate logo. But not much as changed. Same exact short kilt outfits, mostly the same menu, and same "OK" beer menu. You might find a gem or two here ... personally I come for the Tripel Karmeliet on tap that I don’t see anywhere else ’round here. The food is good to better, depending. The beer list doesn’t change all that much, and don’t expect too many surprises ... and expect to pay top dollar for a decent beer. But it’s sturdier than most places and not a bad place to take in the scenery. | | MrNemo (10), Virginia Beach, | | April 26, 2010 For an Enlgish Style pub, this place is huge. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and tasty foods. The beer slection pretty decent with a few high quality beers in the mix. This is a fun place. I would go to this place a lot more if I didn’t have to cross the HRBT to get there. | | TheBeerGod (98), Newport News, Virginia | | November 12, 2009 [ Updated August 21, 2011 ] Visited on 11-10-09. Wife and I cam ein for dinner. Had cask Loose Cannon which was nice but served in a snifter(!) and not a pint. Had a pint of Youngs Double Chocolate afterward. One of my faves. For food, I had the Fish and Chips while the wife got the Batter Mushrooms and Onions as an app with a bowl of soup and a salad for dinner. My food was very tasty as was the wife’s soup. Service was pretty good, though the place wasn’t packed. I have heard that it can be spotty based on how crowded it is but what place isn’t. Will definitely go back. |
