Adrian PhillipsFebruary 23, 2017It's a pub with plenty of beer on tap. Was a little overrun by people on their computers but that didn't stop me from getting a pint, some sausage rolls and a shepherds pie with a bit of HP Sauce.
Shepards pie with a flight of their ales - you can't go wrong here. Lizzie is the cute blonde bartender that is very knowledgable aboit alcohol on the menu. Love the cozy intimate friendly vibe here!
Love my little local pub.If its your first time here, order the Scotch Eggs!They are divine. I also recommend their scones, b'fast sammie, pork and cider stew and incredible cheese plate.Pint & grub.- Ashley MowreyDecember 27, 2015The food is so damn good, favorite veggie burger for sure. Lovely staff all around and a good selection of beer, favorite pub.
Frank KimApril 30, 2015Excellent beer selection here, had a nice bottle of black ale and a stout on tap, they had a vegetarian curry I took to go, was great.
Brian SperdutoJune 1, 2013Chick Pot Pie and Ploughman's platter are where it's at. Order English style beers for the proper vibe, especially Linden St's Ol' Brick, or anything by Meantime.
Sterling M.July 24, 2013It's a convenient spot to catch a soccer match, but it doesn't feel like a soccer pub. The high number of hipsters and brunchers kind of buzzkills the vibe when your team is playing. Food's great, tho
Great beers on tap. Shows soccer games live all week! And of course the food is delicious. Don't forget to checkout popups on Sundays!
Brook ShelleyJanuary 1, 2019Tasty fried eggs, and beers. A great place to hang out and get a bite and a pint.
Inderpreet SinghNovember 6, 2014The vegan curry was passable at best. But great beer and cider and an awesome place to hang around.
Cafe and Public House serving craft-brewed beer, coffee, tea, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Try the Beermosa and a Breakfast Sandwich!
Jeanine ShimatsuJanuary 25, 2014Bummer that it closes so early on a lot of nights, but they have bomb food and play soccer matches.
Namane MMay 24, 2011Linden St. Brew and a good game make a little slice of Oakland heaven, and if you appriciate a hard boiled egg the scotch egg is not to be missed.
David PierceJanuary 30, 2016Breakfast sandwich is fantastic. And those morning roll things in the clear case!- Troy FlintMarch 30, 2015Scotch Eggs are luscious. Also, request Underberg when beer and wine aren't doing it for you.
Keep calm, and carry on. Start with a scone, some coffee, and then let draught beer and some tasty grub stretch Sunday morning into a lazy Sunday afternoon.
- Benjamin Earl EvansMarch 17, 2014Chicken pot pie is awesome. Although it needs more sides to be a complete meal
Never pay for parking. The meters are prohibitively expensive. You can find free parking north & west of the pub.
Lisa C. TompkinsMarch 11, 2016Little hole in the wall pub - wasn't busy for a Friday night so that was nice.
Excellent place to watch fútbol with knowledgeable folks.
the mac n cheese is a meal! get it or live your life full of regret.
