July 16, 2009 This is a great place with terrible curb-appeal. We’ve been there for their awesome happy hour where you get some great food deals. The interior is really wonderful, the draft selection is small but well chosen. There is a patio on the parking lot side in the front but a much more appealing one in the back. The staff was quite friendly and it really is a surprise to find a place this nice in that neighborhood. |
May 11, 2009 This pub is directly across the street from Green’s on Ponce. I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. The ambiance is excellent: very, very dark and classy with books, wood carvings, and candles all over the place. A large back patio is available. The beer list is very good for the area. I had some Stone Levitation which I’ve not seen available before. The taps and bottles are split pretty evenly between imports and microbrews. No space is wasted on macro swill. The smoked salmon mac and cheese is pretty awesome. My only complaint is the service was painfully, painfully slow. To our server’s credit, it was Friday night and the place was on the full side, but it took an unreasonable amount of time to get one round of beers and an appetizer. I may stop in again if I’m staying near the area. I’ll try to sit at the bar if I can. |
