In summary, I would not recommend this establishment. During the Stanley Playoffs, I made two…read morereservations. The first visit excellent; the server was attentive, and food was enjoyable. However, the second experience was disappointing to say the least. I received a text message claiming I had missed my reservation followed by an inappropriate "wtf?" remark. When I provided a screenshot confirming my actual reservation for a different night the texter responded with "ha ha, my bad, must not have gotten the memo." Upon arriving for my confirmed reservation, there was no table reserved for us. We were placed at leftover table in a corner, the service was subpar, the owner displayed unprofessional behavior when he incorrectly to my friend as Mexican. When she corrected him, stating she was Venezuelan, he unapologetically laughed and walked away. The only reason I am giving two stars is because of the positive first visit.

We decided to do it again for 2022. Three of us charted the route on Dec 29th and went into the pub after. The two pizzas and wrap we had were excellent. (I had a pizza at BP in October and this was hands down far superior) Something about a wood burning oven just warms a person. We had about 22 people into the pub after our NYE hike. Everyone ordered food and drinks. There were a couple of forgotten drinks but overall the service was good and the food was excellent as well. It seems Glenn has done some renovations since we were last there. The place looked good and was clean. We were glad to be back. :) Happy New Year Uncle Glenn!

Two meals came out quickly, then the rest of us waited probably 30 minutes longer for our meals. No explanation for the delay during our wait. Totally unacceptable. Either bring all the meals close together or let us know when we arrive that it will be slow.

Couldn't drink cause I was working driving bus but pub had great atmosphere. Looks like a fun place love to go back when I'm not working. Awesome lunch specials for only $9.95 and bartender/server had a great personality and attitude. Too often you get crappy service when you're not drinking cause your bill is so small. That definitely wasn't the case today. Oh she's cute too. Lol

They were ok, comparable to Brewsters but prefer places that charge 45-49 cents per wing. I also ordered the calamari ($13.99) and me and my friends were very disappointed in them. I'd say they were more like fried popcorn pieces with lots of batter, way over fried and I would never guess it was calamari. Definitely not worth the price and wouldn't recommend them. The plus side was they have many different beers and the service was awesome. Maybe will have to try some other items on the menu if ever go back

Service is friendly and fast and the space is lively without being overwhelming. Their food menu isn't the best if you have dietary limitations but there are still a couple vegetarian and gluten-friendly options. I had their caprese salad which was served deconstructed with microgreens and 2 different types of tomatoes. You can never go wrong with bocconcini cheese! As for drinks, they have some great happy hour specials and the house red wine was surprisingly drinkable. They also have an extensive cocktail list with their twists on the classics and a formidable whisky collection.

Went last Saturday to catch a friend's band play, and I'm so happy I did! It was a gorgeous day-- perfect for a patio sit, and lots of folks were all there for the same purpose, so it was super relaxed and chill. Our server, Mandy, was unrufflable and funny. The perfect server. The manager, David, is really great. Friendly and super welcoming, considering I'd only been once before. I noticed that he was attempting to change out the sandwich board for the band, so asked if I could help (ex art major, with a lot of typography experience). He was happy to let me. So that was fun. :) I had a couple beers and the Italian sausage flatbread pizza. OMG! SO good! And the prices were perfectly respectable. Definitely planning to make this place a regular stop on my relaxing/drinking/socializing rounds now.

I was there with a large group of people, who have been to this establishment several times on Wing…read moreWednesdays in the past. The past experiences have all been fantastic and with a standard wait time for a large group. This evening was a completely different story. I am not sure the young woman's name, but I was with the group at the back of the restaurant. I got my ice tea with no ice in a timely manner; however another customer had to ask twice for his root beer, which in the end after an hour, I went up to the Bar and grabbed. As well, another customer had to ask twice for his beer that he ordered and when it didn't come out, he too had to go up to the bar to receive his beer. During this time, several other customers have arrived and been helped with drink orders and food orders being taken. My food order was taken shortly after 6pm, and at 720pm the waitress was told to come deal with our table as we were still waiting...... that was when we were informed, she hadn't put our orders in as the "page" was missed. I told her to cancel my order and that I wasn't paying for my drink at this point, and to bring the manager over. The manager was highly unprofessional and arrogant. I was pointing out that we had people order drinks twice and still not received them until we went up ourselves to get them. That is when the manager came back and said it's due to the fact that the large group was allowed here tonight, as the policy is to not allow large groups on Wing night. Which I find funny as I have been to three other event nights with this group on wing nights, one earlier this year. He then proceeded to laugh at myself when I said I was a server and was informed by him that he feels sorry for anyone who deals with my energy in person. Your server never once came to check on my table, we had to grab her each time. She was more focused on the larger tables around us, as they all were getting refills of their drinks, their food in a timely manner and their bills. I can understand large groups are harder on the staff, but when people who came in after yourself are getting drinks, and food..... when you ordered before them, and then you have to have someone else not from your table ask the waitress to do her job and take care of our table as others are noticing we are all just sitting there. That is horrible service and not only will I be sending this email, but I will be copying it and posting it on google and yelp, as well as Facebook. Not sure what happened, as like I stated before, the past times I have been there with this large group, everyone has been handled in a timely manner, but to have a full table forgotten and then the waitress to say she forgot to put the food orders in, as she "missed" the page but it took over an hour for her to even stop at the table plus she had to be asked to check on us by other customers, that's not right.
