Love this spot. Cold beer, great vibes. Food late. Barry is a great bartender. Pool tables upstairs. Eclectic decor. If ur in town, this place is a must-visit.

Interior
Lorraine G.

Great local bar with great service and a great bar menu. Old style pub with wood interior and signs from local businesses that have closed as decor. Warm and friendly. Prices are moderate. Great stop off after a local concert.

I have been here before, both to play pool and to eat. This is the first time I have been here in a while, and certainly the first time with kids. While we were a bit early for dinner, the service was slow, and it seemed like a promising meal was going to become a questionable one. They were out of "regular" fries, and the food we received was rather sub far from what I remembered. The generic salsa tasted like it was from a bottle, and I attached a copy of the veggie burger that I had. Perhaps some frozen thing. So, you walk in and expect this exciting experience with all of this cool memorabilia, and then it is like a disappointing theme park experience, where the pizzazz is a facade and Captain Yuck is the evil chef ruining your hopes and expectations. They even have one of the original Big Boy statues from Abdows back in my town. That place knew had to do it up right. Fresh soup, homemade pies, and a Breakfast bar with these awesome cinnamon sticks. By the way, that is not this place. Not at all.

BLT with avocado
E C.

The atmosphere and ambience is great. Feels like a place where you can go to get good drinks and watch a game. But the food not so much. The wings tasted crispy on the outside but undercooked on the inside. And it was really oily on the inside. The BLT was not much better either. Bread was too oily too.

Apple cider sangria
Joseph W.

Nice atmosphere, even during COVID. Reasonable menu. Nice staff. The 5 stars specifically is for the Hard Cider Sangria... It. Is. Delicious!

Where does a moose head overlook the bar?  Packards.

Nice Irish bar serving up some very good pub grub. I stopped by for a quick burger around 1:15…read moreyesterday as I had an appointment and couldn't linger, I ordered a cheeseburger medium with coleslaw and a beer. My cheeseburger arrived in a matter of minutes from the kitchen delivered by the cook; It was cooked perfectly just as I had ordered and could not have been cooked any better. The burger cheese combo was juicy and flavorful on its own but with the addition of a slice of ripened tomato and onion this burger was well on its way to the cheeseburger Hall of Fame. The coleslaw was not an after thought but was nicely done too with a hearty zesty spicy tang. Good job Brennan's that was a dang good burger!

I wasn't sure what to expect walking into a pub in the middle of downtown nowhere, Massachusetts…read more It was Friday after 5pm, the streets were pretty dead (as is generally the case as I understand it), and I expected to see nothing but factory rejects of some wannabe Hell's Angels club. Yes, it was a buttock-cringing moment as I walked into the place....... ..... and then...... I noticed the very easy-on-the-eyes brunette bartender.... she was a dead-ringer for Lara Flynn Boyle, but much hotter. The crowd was a pleasant, Cheers-esque group of regulars that laughed and drank the day away. It could have been a pub in any-city USA. The great part? Among the beers on tap were the only 2 types I drink: guiness and weiss beers.... LOTS of them. AND..... the bartender was actually nice. She was totally cool. None of the yes-I-know-I-am-hot attitude you find in big-city bitches. The food was awesome too. I had a buffalo-wing salad, while my gimpy pal-recovering-from-gout had a reuben sandwhich. We were surprised to discover that the place does not serve any processed foods, and everything, despite the pub-grub stigma, was pretty damn good quality food. 2 beers, 2 large entrees set us back about $17-ish, which I thought was a miscalculation because I pretty much pay double that in the city..... and did I mention the cute bartender with no attitude? Maybe not a diamond, but perhaps a sapphire or ruby in the rough. And yes, I'll be back.

Audacity British Style Pub - Complimentary crisps

I'm back! The restaurant is located on 829 Main St. in Manchester. Audacity British Style Pub is a…read moregastropub in Manchester, CT, offering authentic British cuisine like Fish n' Chips, Cottage Pie, and Bangers and Mash, alongside a selection of ales and cocktails in a cozy atmosphere. It's known for its friendly service, generous portions, and events like live music and karaoke, aiming to provide a unique UK pub experience.  They bring a huge pitcher and a few really small (8 oz) glasses. These complimentary chips are the best! Homemade and seasoned! For my first drink, I'm having the Cloth of Gold. This is an Old Fashioned recipe allegedly dating back to the 1600's. It is made with Old Forester, fresh lemon and honey (no bitters). This is nicely garnished and tastes good. I do think these glasses are only 10ox but I could be wrong. For my first item, I'm having the Chicken soup with rice and vegetables. This is steaming hot. The spoon is definitely oversized. It is very thick. Definitely a lot of chicken! This is real good! For my entree, I'm having the Atlantic Cod topped with buttery breadcrumbs and lemon bourre blanc sauce.Atlantic cod is a major commercial fish species found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, ranging from North Carolina to the Barents Sea, and is renowned for its mild, flaky white meat. Lemon beurre blanc is a classic, rich French emulsified butter sauce brightened with lemon juice, white wine, and shallots, ideal for fish, seafood, or vegetables. It is made by reducing wine, lemon juice, and shallots, then whisking in cold, cubed butter off-heat to create a creamy, velvety texture. I'm having sides of cole slaw and a Caesar salad. This looks nice! That's a huge mound of cole slaw! That Caesar salad is huge (for a side dish)! This cod is steaming hot and tastes great! I love that sauce! For my last drink, I'm having an Obi Wan Negroni (which, just like the Jedi Master), is "out of this world." It is made with cold brewed infused Campari, Bombay gin and Carpano Antica Vermouth. You gotta love the light saber! This tastes like a coffee-infused Negroni. It's real good! For dessert, we are having the Blueberry Lemon Crumble Cake. Nice presentation! This is good! What a great meal here!

Finally made it to Audacity British Pub in Manchester CT! And it was definitely worth the wait!…read moreThe food was amazing! Perfectly British, well seasoned, lots of great choices. From scotch eggs to steak frites to the traditional fish and chips and chicken and leek pie! I wanted one of everything on the menu! They even had strongbow on tap!!! Keith, our server, was fun, fast and got everything right! Can't do better! The place was eclectic with tonnes of flags, fancy furniture in addition to the pub seating and floating Harry Potter lights! All in all ... Delicious food! Fun staff! Great company! Will be back!
