It'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.

The food is so damn good, favorite veggie burger for sure. Lovely staff all around and a good selection of beer, favorite pub.

Excellent 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.

Chick 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.

It'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!

Tasty fried eggs, and beers. A great place to hang out and get a bite and a pint.

The vegan curry was passable at best. But great beer and cider and an awesome place to hang around.

Bummer that it closes so early on a lot of nights, but they have bomb food and play soccer matches.

Cafe and Public House serving craft-brewed beer, coffee, tea, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Try the Beermosa and a Breakfast Sandwich!

Linden 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.

Breakfast sandwich is fantastic. And those morning roll things in the clear case!
Troy FlintMarch 30, 2015
Scotch 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.

Chicken 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.
