We had lunch here on April 14, and it was very good. The pub is located on a street where plenty of store fronts seem to be just on the verge of having interesting shops move in. Step inside and you really could be in a British pub, sans cigarette smoke and accents! Dark wood walls, an authentic looking bar,... more
