    If you're vegetarian, I recommend the grilled cheese and the Hofbraü. Both with bacon.

    They have the MLB package and seven TVs in 500 sq ft. If your game isn't playing, ask them to put it on.

    Приятный типичный паб, небольшой. Коктейль "Марк Твен" крепкий, добротный. "Пабло Нерудо" полегче, сладковатый. На коктейлях литература и заканчивается, обычный неплохой паб.:)
