Cyndie CarlsonJanuary 12, 2014Have the fries with the spicy curry! Yum**. Skip the Pinot Noir (blah) & the Blackened Chicken Sandwich on a pretzel roll. It was a French type roll & the sandwich was bland.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Weeknights at 9 p.m., folk ensembles from the neighboring school make the couch and tables flanking the fireplace a cozy kind of studio, one where you’re also invited to sit, sip and toast your feet. Read more
LaLaLaurenJuly 5, 2013The fish and chips were awesome and the Shepard's pie was delish. So go authentic ;) the beer/scotch/whiskey list was crazy extensive. It took me forever to pick what I wanted to drink. Hah
DamianMarch 25, 2014Nice for vegetarians. As an Irishman I can say the interior and beer/whiskey list is very authentic. Check out their live music events. Disappointed with our server, maybe he had a bad day!
The veggie wrap is delicious! They have Seattle cider on tap and their Mac & cheeses are rich, filling and yummy!
MitchellJanuary 5, 2013Im pretty sure our waitress was high. She insisted on guessing our drink orders (wrongly),would space out during her rare visits to our table, and have us a soup bowl to tote our left over burger home
Excellent beers and solid pub food. They also host live music a few days a week.
BBQ seitan sandwich is really good! Mango chutney veggie burger too. Vegetarians welcome at this pub.
Heather MurrayMarch 17, 2015Somewhat slow for food, but friendly service—servers really know their beer & whiskey, made good recommendations.
Brian RohdeFebruary 26, 2011Great burgers. Great staff. Wonderful selection of craft brews. I could stay here all day!
Steve HundSeptember 10, 2011Get the 400 pound Monkey just so u can say to the bartender, "I'll have a 400 Pound Monkey"
Jennifer MJanuary 21, 2012Bad service but the check was covered because if it. Also received some rude glances because my girlfriend & I were holding hands. Saddened by the homophobia in this place...
Kate LampeJanuary 5, 2013Ugh, avoid the curry sauce if you hate gravy. It's basically glorified curry broth and not worth $1.

"Excellent music instruction. Wiggle worms classes are popular with the younger set. They also have regular concerts that I highly recommend, although some can be over-priced."
