A little local gem hidden off the main thoroughfare. We saw the good reviews and decided to give it a try. The building itself is an interesting shape and stone- so it is easy to spot. There is a small parking lot plus street parking available. One interesting thing is the numerous old photos of Hamilton hanging on the walls. There is even one of the building back in the day! We ordered an Anna's pretzel with beer cheese and horse cheese as an appetizer. It was one of the best soft pretzels I've eaten! Large, warm and the 2 dipping sauces made a great accompaniment. We ordered a Reuben and fish and chips also. They were yummy as well. The bar tender/waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The prices are very moderate. I noticed they even offered lunch specials. I definitely plan on visiting again. read more

A Hidden Gem - Don't Miss This Place! The Stone Tavern in Hamilton is a beautiful British pub with a cozy, welcoming vibe. We stopped in for lunch and everything was absolutely phenomenal. The food was out of this world, and the service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and fast. Our waitress--Caitlin, I believe--was absolutely phenomenal. She was incredibly friendly, and attentive, all with a warm smile. She really made our experience even more enjoyable. I'm so glad I checked Yelp before picking a spot, because this place truly stands out. If you're anywhere near Hamilton, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Yes, it's a beautiful, sturdy building that you just know is reeking of historical significance. Parking is as easy as everyone is saying -- there always seems to be room on the street. The waitress seemed helpful enough, though, as there's weren't many customers this early in the evening, she was too busy watching the Winter Olympics to give me more than the cursory attention needed to bring my food out and take my payment. But the food definitely made up for that. This is made-from-scratch creativity at its finest. I got the Reuben's Stones, expecting a fried fritter, but got a delicate, made-like-my-mamma-would pastry instead. It was soft and doughy inside, and jam-packed with corned beef. The fish in the fish and chips was huge, hot, and right out of the fryer. And the fries had to be made from scratch, because I've never seen that particular shape come out of a freezer bag: they looked cut naturally from the round, and were also hot and tasty. And the warm butter cake was as amazing as everyone said. Actually it's this small squat cake that looks like a muffin -- until you cut into it and realize it's soaked in syrup inside & absolutely delicious. The only disappointment were the green beans --- they were overcooked and mushy -- though maybe that's how English green beans are authentically cooked. Overall, though, my visit was a real adventure filled with authentic and delicious surprises. I will definitely be back to try more. read more

Saw great reviews for the Stone Tavern, so my wife and I decided to give it a shot while we were nearby. First the good. The place is cute. Fun looking building with a mini parking lot or on street parking. Small set of outdoor tables, but we chose to eat inside. The staff was super friendly and despite what I read about needing to order at the bar, Jason came right to our table and he was GREAT! He recommended the fish and chips and the shepherd pie. We had those and the Hanky Pankys as an appetizer. First watch out: English pub that only had American domestics and Guinness on tap...the only local brew was out of service. Oh well, we adapted. On to the food... We enjoyed the appetizers. They reminded my wife of something her mom had made when she was growing up. For me, they could have used more cheese. We then had the entrees the shepherd pie was a great presentation, but a bit greasy and the ground beef was not the shredded rib I read about in the reviews. I checked and the menu did say ground beef. My bad. It was 3 out is five at best. The onion rings I got as my side were fantastic!!! Next was the fish and chips. The menu stated " half pound of cod in flaky IPA batter fried golden brown served with steak fries". If you look at other pics of this in their previous Yelp reviews - that seemed to be what they served. Instead I paid $19 for something from GFS or Trader Joe's. See my pic. Not great and thus the drop in stars. Net service GREAT! Food meh. Might stop in again if in the area for a drink because it seems like a good neighborhood bar. read more

It's a British pub. Hamilton Ohio has a British pub and it's cracking good! It's cheery and brand spanking new inside. Very clean. We came Saturday around 2PM and the food was so delicious, I stopped in again today for takeout (or takeaway as they say across the pond). So we've had occasion to try five menu items. The owner is Jim and he was around both days. Very welcoming to the customers and eager to please. I think he must be an expat Brit. Just one barmaid/server who was Alex, and she kept up pretty well with handling the tables too. All the tables have number signs and I think the true pub tradition is to go to the bar, tell your table number and order, and then they bring it, though this was not enforced. The kitchen staff brought the meals. And that food! hot, fresh made with obviously top quality ingredients. Herbed chicken was super flavorful and a very generous portion of meat. Bangers and Mash were exactly as they should be, a savory dish to which I added a dash of HP Sauce. Garlic mashed potatoes had just the right amount of garlic and a great consistency. Shepherd Stones almost like little meat pies, hearty and satisfying. The Reuben was incredibly delicious on the wonderful marble rye. And those fries....think of the best steak fries you ever had then kick it up a notch. The grand finale is of course the butter cake which melts in your mouth in an explosion of sweet flavor. Oh my Lord, it was out of this world. The bill shows you clearly the cash vs. credit price and I like that. There is a good amount of street parking and a parking lot, and ramp to a side entrance accessible to the physically challenged. That entrance takes you to a side room suitable for a large group. I love the look of the outside of this establishment too. It really is a stone tavern. They've got Guinness on tap along with several other selections and quite a variety of beer in the cooler too, including Harp and Red Stripe, plus a nice wine list. My husband had a glass of red that Jim recommended and he said it was great. And a nice pour too. They are open every day from 11 am. Highly recommended! read more

Stopped in here today for the first time and they did absolutely everything right. It appeared there was just one person working the bar and the tables surrounding the bar and that person was Jennifer. Jennifer did a great job waiting on us and everybody else and didn't appear to get rattled by anything. My friend ordered a beer and I ordered a cocktail and then we placed our order for food. We did sit at the bar. My friend ordered the fish and chips along with a salad and I ordered the Reuben Stones appetizer and a cup of the soup of the day which was a three cheese broccoli and chicken. Everything we ate was good and I would so get that soup again! We had another cocktail and then I ordered dessert which was a warm brown butter cake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Jennifer also made me a fresh pot of coffee and I had a coffee with cream to go along with the dessert. I am going to say that was the best butter cake I have ever had. When we go back, and we're going back, I will definitely order dessert again. Don't wait y'all get out there and give this new place a try! read more

Beautiful place inside. Outside is an old stone building. Equally as beautiful. Ordered a Guinness and perused the menu. Settled on Bangers and mash with a side of green beans. Beans were green. Sausage was very tasty and Real mashed potatoes with lumps and onion gravy. Was a little pricey at $31.00 with tip but was good food and good portion of food Will return soon to try the Ruben and another Guinness Sweet waitress and a very nice gentleman who identified as the owner read more

The food is out of this world!! The atmosphere is inviting and the staff even moreso! I suggest for appetizers the Hank Pankys or the Stepherd's Stones. For the main course I recommend any of the burgers, the fish and chips, the bangers and mash and the shepherds pie are outstanding! But don't forget dessert! I suggest the brown butter cake, totally divine! The bar is open, let the girls come and make you a drink! Oh, and Jason too ! This place is not just your general hole in the wall. It's beautiful and a place to relax, come see for yourself! read more

Having a delicious pizza at Stone Tavern. Great food and service! Wedge salad with chicken is amazing. A must try! Beautiful bar

The service was really well. The lady we had was amazing and she was quick to refill and ask us about what we needed, and also very friendly. The inside is very on theme and fun. But the best part was the food. I had the Stone Tavern Burger and it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!! The beef is soooooo fresh and juicy! Usually with burgers, you don't taste the meat much but only the toppings. This though, was different. The beef was so flavorful and juicy, and toppings just made it even better! read more

I got the fish and chips the fish was crispy and tasted great the fry's was perfect with the right amount of crisp

Food was good and service was friendly. I don't know that I would go at night as it isn't in a great area but perfect for brunch or lunch.

My husband and I got the Patty Melt. The flavor was wonderful. We also got the Reuben Stones as an appetizer and our friends got the hanky Pankies and split a Reuben sandwich. Everything was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more
