This authentic British pub serves dinner until midnight and the heated outdoor patio is legendary. You will think that you are in London, as the decor is truly British in all respects. The grub is typical pub fare: fish and chips, meat pies, sandwiches and the like, most of which tips the scales under USD10. Twenty beers are on tap and there is an extensive selection of single-malt scotches. It is never hard to stir up conversation. The bartenders are great, and the place attracts all walks of life, from business professionals to college students. See website for menu, bar info, and more.

Pretty Good British Food by Delicate H. at InsiderPages
by Contributor on 2008-11-27
I am not the biggest fan of British cuisine, but this wasn't a bad place for a decent meal. For those who love fish and chips, this is the place.
