Early an early dinner in La Hood today! It's been on our list since they opened, and decided today was the day! Snagged their CFC! I'm sure you can guess by the completely empty plate, that it was GOOOOD. Great minimal breading, on top of a bed of summer squash succotash (say that five times fast) with excellent - non-split - gravy! Had to try their version of Fish N Chips, and lemme tell you... it racks right up with there my all time favorite fish and chips place damn near close. Great tasting cod - not fishy! - with a crunchy exterior, and home made tartar sauce. Never mind that they make their own... chips! Price for pub food but we get it. We'd definitely go back and try some of their other menu items! Place was fairly unbusy, but I hear they have BRUNCH! And a patio so for all your Brunch Baddies, make sure you add them to your list of places to try soon!

My friends and I chose this spot because we recently attended a concert at the Astro and noticed the City Pubs rooftop. We wanted to return and have a drink there. We went on a Friday night during the Husker game and were surprised to see only six tables occupied. Despite the nice atmosphere, our experience was disappointing. We started with a few drinks that were not up to par. The espresso martini was watered down, and the margarita wasn't great either. Our server/bartender, Sam, initially seemed helpful. When we asked if we could check out the rooftop, he offered to ask his supervisor to unlock it. However, when he returned, he said, "I unlocked it but make sure you guys bring your drinks back down or else I'm gonna be pissed," which caught us off guard. He seemed annoyed rather than joking, which was unprofessional. The food was terrible minus the Brussels sprouts. Those were very good! The $17 bacon bleu burger was extremely salty and made from a frozen patty, and the fries tasted like they had been fried twice and left under a heating lamp but were still cold. I asked Sam if I could substitute a side salad for the fries, and he agreed. As well as my friend who already received her food. I was charged additional $2 for my salad, which I expected for the up charge, while she was charged $6. When I asked Sam to correct this, he had an attitude and said "she had both fries and the salad" to which I replied, "yeah, but they were cold and taste terrible" I asked him to ask his manager to make the adjustment, which she kindly did. I felt like we were almost going to get into an argument over the old cold fries. My other friend ordered an $18 Caesar salad and asked if it came with shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese. Sam said it was shaved, but it arrived with grated Parmesan from a plastic bottle. Overall, the experience was poor. We spoke with the manager before leaving, and she apologized and appreciated our feedback. This place has potential if they make a few changes. I might try it again in the future if they were to make those changes. The upstairs would be a great spot to rent for a party or husker game.

Barbacoa Nacho
Jana J.

I came here for a party and had a great experience for how chaotic our party was! We were basically a servers nightmare moving around constantly--although everyone was at least polite and kind. Our server did an impressive job at keeping everything straight and remembering our names/orders! Unfortunately, my nachos weren't great--minimal toppings and the chips were the thinnest type--great for salsa, but immediately soggy for nachos. Otherwise these would have been much better. Everything else I tried from others' plates was so good! Especially the jalapeño poppers and risotto. Cocktails were good and very aesthetic as well. I would definitely come back, but I'd never try the nachos again.

We stopped here after church one day because my wife wanted to try somewhere different. We've had their food before due to a yelp event that the pub provided their food, and we remembered it being great. Our server was very friendly when we walked in and sat us. She said she could take care of us shortly but was trying to finish up on one table and clean up. It appeared, she had been the only one on the floor at the time. Decent amount of liquor options but only a few beers on tap. I went with wings that were cooked perfectly. They provided a great amount of sauce (which I can't think of what I ordered now), but they were coded perfectly and crisp. My wife and son went with pizzas that looked really good as well. This is a nice restaurant in my opinion with a great location having the taproom next-door. There's an event center upstairs, and lots of parking available with parking garage within walking distance.

City Pub Poppers
Ayele O.

This is quickly becoming a go to spot for hangouts with friends. Service and food quality have been consistent the last two times I went. Do try the City Pub Poppers! They are absolutely amazing. It almost melts in your mouth. I wasn't sure about the bacon jam burger, but it did not disappoint. The menu prices are higher than I would have liked, but the food quality makes it worthwhile.

Chocolate cake
Divija G.

Amazing food and drinks, great vibe, and friendly service. Loved everything about it!

Ben K.

Cool spot located in an APT complex next to an entertainment arena. We (party of two) dropped by mid Sat afternoon. Place was nice, clean, and relatively empty. Bartender/waiter was prompt and courteous. The pub burger was perfect and the wings had an amazing glaze, but just a bit dry. Also the price point was a bit on the higher side for this type of food. Probably paying for the ambience and proximity to the theater. Overall, a decent spot to visit.

Candace D.

The FOOD was absolutely AMAZING! I normally don't give a perfect rating but this was over the top ...especially being served for that many people at once ...pizzas were high end...juiciest pizza I ever had...so many topping to choose from yet crispy...(how do they do that????!) their pull out romaine lettuce Caesar salad..(stop it!!!) you pull out your strip of romaine perfectly topped and ready to eat!!! I am obsessed with their brussel sprouts...too intense to describe...so delicious! Their freshly made chips and dip ...well tasted like "MORE please" quite the feast! Very friendly and top notch service...very beautifully made ..because presentation is EVERYTHING!

Wontons
Haley J.

Yummy yummy! Stopped here before a concert at The Astro! We made reservations and was happy we did, with them being basically the only food place close it was a popular spot before concerts! One of my favorite meals in a long time. Their spin on Wontons were so surprising but delicious, I dream about them. I'm not a huge plain pizza person, but the white pizza was bursting with flavor! The jalapeño poppers, I'm not a spicy person so I was nervous but something about them was calling my name, and so happy I got them, because they were delicious, and I didn't think spicy at all!! Fries and homemade ranch 15/10! The place is pretty big and has lots of seats! Parking is hit and miss, free-no meters, but if there is a concert you might have to park in one of the garages! Service was great, she was there when we needed her, and did her job!

Big Slice of Pub Pie
Josh T.

We decided to try a brand new spot for a date night this weekend and were blown away by the ambiance, staff and amenities The City Pub has to offer! You walk in to a large, open dining room adjacent to the bar with plenty of tvs throughout. Think upscale gastropub. Perfect for game day, or fun date night out. For an opening weekend, service was on point. Our server was very attentive, made sure our drinks never went below half empty, and consistently checked in with us. We felt well taken care of and could tell the staff were excited to be open. As for the food and drinks, definitely recommend their signature cocktails! I went with the Big Slice of Pub Pie, and just like the name, it tasted like a delicious slice of pie. For food, can't say enough good things about the Roasted Corn Queso. I've never tried a queso dip with actual corn in it, talk about a taste bud experience! Dinner we went with the fish and chips and the shrimp cavatappi. Deliciously fried beer battered fish with both fries and homemade chips. Combined with their in house homemade tartar sauce, easily a future favorite. Their Cavatappi boasts huge shrimp portions with a not so thick cream sauce that is filling but not too heavy. It was definitely something I'd come back for. We ended the night with their homemade (all desserts are made from scratch) citrus olive oil cake and wow this was amazing! Think butter cake but even softer, paired with fruit and homemade berry ice cream, how could you not love it? Lastly, I cannot forget the entertainment factor of this place. They boast a variety of in-house arcade games, board games, pool tables, and even a rooftop terrace to enjoy those cool nights on. What an amazing addition to the area! If you're new to the La Vista area, or just wanting to try something different, I'd highly recommend The City Pub for your next meal!

Great new spot, love the location. Food is fresh, I had a chance to meet the head chef too! The servers enjoy their work, happy place. Happy to see another room top bar with games too!

Veggie Grill
Makenzie L.

I was super excited to try this new spot because everything looked so delicious and promising! The vibes and interior are super fun and the staff is welcoming and accommodating. Unfortunately the food was the ONLY let down, it was good quality it simply lacked flavor and tbh just looked a lot better than it tasted. I would go back for happy hour as the drinks looked delicious and some appetizers I didn't get to try, overall a very cool new place!

Daily Special - Taco Tuesday - chicken & beef tacos w/rice & beans
Solape O.

The city pub has done it again. Exceeding expectations with these new menu items. I love the tacos and just as good as it is plated, it tastes exceptionally delicious. I have more reasons to look forward to Tuesdays now with this addition. The other daily items are just as good.

The pub Philly was very good. Best I've had in a while. The homemade chips are out of site.

I started with the glass noodle salad - it was pretty light and a great start to the meal. The other appetizer, the shishito peppers, were also very tasty - they had an amazing sauce on them but be aware: one in our bunch was quite spicy (the rest were not spicy at all). I got the gochujang chicken wings and they were awesome. I have an average/low spice tolerance (maybe like a 3/10 is my preferred range) and these were about all I could handle while still being happy. Aka they're not overly spicy but they definitely have a kick. The flavor is so good though I would eat these any day. The other entree, the bahn mi tasted very fresh with the pickled veggies and the pork was also really good. The chocolate wontons for dessert were a great way to cap off the meal! The surprise lemon marmalade was delish! Our server was very nice, offering many refills of water (especially with the spicy pepper lol) and timing our plates to come out perfectly. Great ambiance in the area, not too busy on a Friday night but still had a good flow of people!

The fried chicken in any form sandwich, strips, and salad was one of the best fried chicken my family had. We look forward to going back again. The alcohol choices are awesome. Tito's and lemonade was my go to every day after all day in the stadium. The front door security are the best they remembered us everyday! Made us feel welcomed! We loved the Aloha!!

I visited here after first attempting to eat at a nearby Chinese restaurant but my picky colleague…read moredoesn't like authentic chinese, so we ended up here. He had actually visited before during a game and said he had a great time with good food. We sat at the bar to ensure excellent service. This is mainly a sports bar with bar fare but they do have a couple of elevated menu items like the steak frites. I decided to just eat light and chose the sockeye salmon salad. My colleague had a guiness and went with the fish and chips. Salmon salad - this comes with avocado, one of the reasons I even ordered it, but when it was brought out from the kitchen, I looked for the avocado and couldn't find any. I brought this to the attention of the bartender and she claims that since they shake the dressing on the salad, maybe the avocado just broke into small pieces. I said no, I still didn't even see any small pieces either. She just brings me out a side of avocado at this point. I then asked about the dessert menu and she brings the menu. I told her I may order one, but let me eat my meal first because I may be too full. Apparently, she misunderstood me and proceeds to enter the desert into the pos system. Then I couldn't even get my drink refilled ....she refilled my colleagues beer, but failed to ask if I wanted a refill. This is the one problem with ordering a non alcoholic drink at a bartop...they sometimes don't provide the best of service to you. I finally got my refill and requested they finally put my dessert order in. The dessert turned out to be ok, but I could only eat half and then we paid and left. Overall, this was an okay experience for me....but I certainly wouldn't rush to come back anytime soon.

Really good and no regrets devouring these. They were so good that we want to try to recreate these at home--but that's going to be extremely difficult. The Croque Garson burger was really big and really messy (as expected). But I think the cook was having a bad day honestly. We asked for both burgers to be medium-rare because I didn't want it to be well done. I just wanted it under-done (I'm not that picky--any amount of pink or red would have been great with me). First, let me point out the good -- the egg was PERFECTLY cooked. The ham was delicious. The mustard and aioli were plentiful! The buns were fresh and toasted. But the beef? This is where the bad gets pointed out -- it was so overdone that I couldn't eat it. It had a nice crust on either side. But the inside was just about as dark. It's just a shame because this was some high quality beef. I took a doggy bag home so my pooches could have a nice snack. I ended up eating the egg and ham with the top half of the bun and all the messy mustard mayo goodness. But it was not a satisfying burger experience. Sad face.
