I've lived in the area my whole life and just started visiting the Oasis…read more Let's start with the best part, the service! The ladies that work here usually get to know you pretty well! Your second visit they will ask if you want the same thing you had last time. To be fair, there's one young bartender that sits on her phone more than she works. But, I've been told you'll have that. She's nice but you find yourself waiting longer than you should for service. The food is hands down awesome! You wouldn't think it would be anything crazy but it's consistent and good every time we go in. My friends love the wraps, burgers and I'm a fan of really anything I've had there. The wait for the food isn't bad when you consider they have one person on staff that tends the bar, tables and food. Yes, it's a lot of fried foods, but the lettuce, tomatoes and other items are fresh! As far as the feel, or "ambiance"... it's a bar. It's an awesome small town bar feel where everyone that stops in probably knows one another. Everyone is friendly to one another and those from out of town are always welcomed. Stop in and give it a try.

Willow is kind of shy for a golden retriever and won't come up to new people without a little encouragement. Pros: There is a dog in the bar. The staff was cool. Willow's moms were cool. Drinks were good. Cons: Could have more beer on tap. They just opened, I get it. But eventually...

For some reason I thought that they had food because we were starving for lunch. They dont have food but they do have Peanuts! and, I wolfed down a bowl full of them! I ended up having a Cold Old Style beer, because why wouldnt I? Its Chicago for Pete's sake! My partner also ordered a Nutrl. I would definitely return the next time I happen to be in the area for sure. It looks like this would be a great place to enjoy an evening out drinking with friends or family! Try this cool little place out and I'm sure that you wont regret it.

Warm and lovely British pub with delicious pies and efficient service…read more My dining partner and I tried the mushroom and kale and the rocking vegan pies. The mushroom and kale pie was nice and cheesy and the rocking vegan pie was more savoury, with a variety of vegetables and chickpeas as stuffing. The crust was neither too soft nor too crunchy. The highlight of the meal was the curry chips: potato wedges lightly fried with masala and curry leaves. The dipping sauce that came with the chips reminded me of tikka masala sauce, and paired beautifully with the chips. Dessert was toffee pudding: the caramel sauce that came with the pudding was delectable - the pudding itself was excellent and not overly sweet. We tried a variety of NA beers, and I was pleased with how many options they had. Service was quick, and we were well looked after. The ambiance is warm, with dim-ish lighting and a lot of dark wood. The restrooms were gorgeous - special shoutout to the lovely floral wallpaper. Overall, I highly recommend Pleasant House - the vibe is chill and understated and the food is stellar.

Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!
