We loved the music, beers, service, and atmosphere . It's a great place to watch a big game. Pool tables as well!

I have been wanting to visit this pub for a while now to sample their British treats. Was greeted by friendly bartender Bree who recommended a great local beer to enjoy while I waited for my food. Ordered a Shepards pie with the side salad. The atmosphere is cozy with great music, friendly regulars, and a large back room to play pool and darts. Food came out piping hot and delicious, a perfect day time comfort lunch! Will definitely be coming back to hang out soon

The screen for the games

First time coming, I was Looking for a spot to enjoy some World Cup games. You can find plenty of places for mexico and USA games but I really enjoy watching Scotland, Norway, Germany etc. this place has Guinness on tap and a great place to watch the World Cup! This place is great! My group had great service and a great time 10/10 would come back

This place was fun for the novelty of going to a British pub and eating British foods, but it's not a place that we will necessarily go back to. We arrived around 6:30ish on a Friday evening. It wasn't really thatttt busy (although it got busier while we were there), but still our food took 30ish minutes to get to us. Our server was apologetic and kept checking up on us. She had warned us that the meat pies would take about 25 minutes, but I would assume our other food should have come out earlier... Wings - These were good! We got the mild and it was a nice buffalo mild spiciness. There was a good amount of meat on them, too. We didn't want fries with it, so we asked if there was any substitute we could do. They said they could give a few extra wings instead, so that was great! At $11, it was good value :) Fish & chips - Fish were a good size and had a nice batter around them. Good with the tartar sauce, but a bit boring without. The fries were actually the biggest disappointment. The waitress highly recommended them, but we were really disappointed. Nice size and texture, but they were dry and flavorless and not really worth finishing. At $19, this was sadly overpriced. Steak & mushroom meat pie - This was good! Nice portion size and yummy taste. Mashed potatoes also good. And this will sound crazy, but a highlight was actually the peas. They were just so pleasantly nice hahaha. The whole combo was good value at $15.

Bar was a awesome location ... We came here to watch the Colombia vs Argentina Finale of the Copa America. Also the Spain vs England ... Will say that the bar was very accommodating. The drinks where great and had a different variety We ordered chicken strips and fries and they were yummy ... the pub was super clean and the staff was super friendly. Yes, I will come back. Food looked delicious from what other ppl ordered . Nonetheless it was awesome bar to check out

Service was great! The bartender Stephanie was very down to earth and fun. We didn't order any food. Stopped in for a couple beers. Seems like a great place to watch sports or just hangout. Women's restroom is clean and maintained. That's very important when going to bars.

10 out of 10. Sammy and Stephanie were my bartenders and they were amazing. The Indian curry and fish & chips are must haves. Everything was great - the drinks, food, service & vibe

Left to right: Lamb shank, Fish and chips, Bangers and mash, Scottish egg...scrumptious.

BBP... Best British Pub. Great place to hang out, friendly atmosphere with an awesome landlord. Whether at the bar or playing a game of pool, dart aiming or just chit chatting with the average punters, you're guaranteed to have a great time period. Don't forget to try the Bangers and mash, lamb shank and Scottish egg. Their kitchen offers a great variety of dishes to tuck into. So give this place a visit in Upland.

Fish, chips, cole slaw w/tartar sauce & malt vinegar!

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the friendly bartenders, a lively atmosphere, and a good drink selection. The popular British dishes, especially fish and chips, are also well-liked.

As an avid beer drinker, Rescue Brewery is one of my go-to breweries in the area. It is always clean, has friendly staff, and has great brews and food! Before sitting down, you're supposed to order your beers with the nice beertenders at the front. I usually get the Haze Against The Machine. They also have a good menu and a happy hour! I had ordered their garlic fries and their poke nachos. The beertenders gives you a number, then you can display it at the table of your choice. The atmosphere inside is nice' they have cute string lights placed all around. They're also usually playing modern music or country. It does get a bit loud in there dependent on how many people are inside. Their garlic fries are very crispy and have garlic pieces sprinkled on top. The sauce it comes with is addicting. My favorite is definitely their poke nachos! It has an abundant amount of tuna sprinkled over it with jalapeños, pickled onions, pickled radishes, and their delicious sauce. Their wonton chips are very crunchy, too! I washed it down with my IPA that was super hazy and crisp. I've been here a few times, but forget to check in/do a review. I didn't forget this time! They're always consistent in every aspect, so brewery hoppers, you need to put this on your list!

The Upland outpost of The Back Abbey handles this dynamic perfectly. The outdoor patio is not just an afterthought; it is a highly functional, well-spaced environment that accommodates dogs without compromising the dining flow or overall aesthetic. The kitchen maintains the same rigorous standards, delivering a structurally sound, perfectly executed burger alongside a highly curated Belgian beer program. Front-of-house staff manage the patio energy brilliantly, ensuring service pacing remains sharp even when every outdoor table is occupied. Best for: An expertly constructed burger and craft beer in a genuinely accommodating outdoor space. Pro tip: The patio tables nearest the perimeter offer the best maneuverability if your dog needs a bit of visual separation from the main walkway.

I especially loved the Truffle Burger since I usually have to request that tomatoes and onions be removed from my burgers, but not from this one! I was able to eat this one exactly as it comes, which was really nice!! The burger itself was also really juicy and delicious. As for the fries, I just loved how thick and well-seasoned they were to bite into. The portion was huge tho, so I did have to ask to take my leftovers to-go, but even then, it was still just as enjoyable at home! I would absolutely order the Truffle Burger again!! I also ended up getting the Butterfly Kisses, which was really nice. Upon first receiving it, it was really pretty, and when taking a sip, I really liked the fruity taste to it. Tho, definitely make sure to mix it, since the top purple half is where the tequila initially resides lol. It was also nice that we were able to get such cute stickers at the end :)

This place is worth a visit!…read more This place is at the end of a plaza and you wouldn't know it's there. Now you do and you need to stop in and have a bite... There is plenty of parking and when you walk inside you smell the barbecue and see the small town vibe the place has.. The staff are super friendly and know the brand really well.. We had the "When Pigs Fry" Curly fries loaded with pulled pork, creamy coleslaw, green onion, Cajun seasoning, and finished with chipotle aioli & BBQ sauce...This Was Awesome!! We also had the "Oinkers Revenge" An all-beef dog topped with in-house pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and fresh slaw. A loaded, flavor-packed dog built for big appetites. It was good, the only thing was it was so wet I caught myself eating the paper the food was on and it was so wet it dissolved the paper.. This place has a great vibe as they have craft and domestic beer on tap as well as mixed drinks.. The bathroom was a little off putting as there was a sewer smell that hits you as soon as you walk inside. That smell goes away though when you walk back out in the restaurant as you smell barbecue again.. Thank You For The Great Food! I definitely will be back..

As soon as we sat down, they warned us that service was already pretty slow and that it had taken quite a while just to get his beer and her mixed drink. We all thought, okay, maybe they're just getting started and things will get better...trying to be optimistic. Unfortunately, they didn't. We ordered our food, and it took forever to come out. Most of us eventually got our food and were probably halfway through our meals when we realized one person's fish dish still hadn't made it out. When he asked about it, they told him it was still being made, which seemed a little odd considering it was a pretty simple dish and most of the table was already well into their meals. At that point, he wasn't happy and just told them to cancel the order. A few people also ordered mixed drinks, and according to them, the drinks didn't taste as expected based on what they had ordered. Then came the check. There was an automatic gratuity added because of the size of our group. We don't have a problem with an automatic gratuity for a large party, but nobody/ not even the waitress told us about it beforehand, and we didn't see it posted or noted anywhere. Given the level of service we received, that obviously didn't sit particularly well with some members of our group. There was also an odd situation with one of our friends, who is 86. She didn't want a large meal, so she ordered something from the children's menu. When the bill arrived, she had been charged for a full adult portion. When they questioned it, they were told adults aren't allowed to order from the children's menu. We had to laugh a little at that one. We can walk into McDonald's and order a Happy Meal, but apparently we can't order a kids' meal here...LOL. If that's the policy, fine, but tell the customer when they order rather than when the bill arrives. Things eventually got a little tense. One couple asked to speak with the manager and was pretty direct about the automatic gratuity, the meal that never arrived, the drinks and the overall service. The other oddity I have to mention about the automatic gratuity. When we brought it up to the manager, she told us it was up to the waitress whether or not to apply an automatic gratuity based on the size of the group. We had never heard of that being an "option"... LOL. Usually, a restaurant either has an automatic gratuity policy for larger parties or it doesn't, and if it does, it's clearly stated somewhere. So that left us wondering...what exactly is the criteria at 1906? Apply the gratuity if the group is giving you a hard time, but don't apply it if you like them..... LOL....? Who knows. We certainly didn't. A little consistency and transparency on that policy would probably go a long way. My wife and I have been to 1906 before, and we've experienced slow service there in the past, but this evening was way slow. The unfortunate part is that the food is actually good, and I do recommend giving the place a try. But based on our experiences, the service and mixed drinks can be a bit of a crapshoot, so go in prepared. Will our Thirsty Thursday group be back? Nope. There's probably a better chance of buying swampland in Barstow than getting the whole group to agree to give the place another try....LOL. Will my wife and I go back on our own? Most likely. We'll give it another shot and hope for the best. But if we continue to get the same slow service and iffy mixed drinks, at some point we may just stop going. But it won't be because we didn't give 1906 enough chances. It'll be because 1906 continued to give us reasons not to come back.
