I've been to this pub a couple of times, though it does seem to have a later opening that a lot of…read moreother pubs in the local area. In fact I had to leave and come back just to check this place out again, and they still seemed to be in the process of refurbishing it. However, it is a pretty decent pub, with a beer garden (or should I say deck) out the back. They also have a number of craft beers available, including some not so familiar ones. The problem was the late opening, and when I was there it was pretty quiet, but it was still a pretty decent place for a beer.

My friend who has been to the natural history museum in NYC was delighted to see the stuffed animals and habitat in the glass cases. The menu despite small caters to vegetarian pescatarians and carnivores We got the chicken liver parfait which came with two large sliced of brioche. The oarmfait was smooth creamy delicious and was well complemented by the pickles and the flavoured spiced orange pieces For mains we had the fish burger which came with a massive helping of chips covered in rosemary sea salt. The fish itself was covered in a flavoured crispy layer and succulent inside. The burger was small but delicious. The coleslaw was plenty and nice. My friend got the market fish which was a thick piece of cod in some tomato sauce and some sauteed spinach. Delicious flavorsome fish with asian undertones I was surprised by how delicious the simple meals were. Nothing extravagant but scrumptious. Would go again. Large venue and great for groups too.

It comes out on a wooden…read moreboard with the chicken breast Parma (ham, cheese, tomato) sitting on a good amount of fully cooked chips. A tasty thumbs up for cheap Parma fans. The salad is fresh and not too much dressing (just right) and they don't smother the chips in salt either. If there was one concern, the lighting was very low.

I was told that this pub had a bit of a history, however that is all in the past because it…read morecertainly now has a much more down to Earth Bohemian feel to it, at least the time that I was here. Mind you, all of the pubs along Johnston Street seem to all cater to the hard rock, heavy metal, and punk crowds, but when I went here it was to hear some up and coming activists spriuk their beliefs, though spending time in the beer garden with them afterwards was also pretty cool. Mind you, I haven't really been back since, probably because I have found a lot of other places to visit.
