This place is such a gem! Came for dinner and some beers for the first time yesterday. Our server was so friendly and enthusiastic! We had the Monday meatloaf special and the pork chop meals and garlic fries. All were excellent! One of the best pork chops I’ve ever had!!! Also half off Manhattan’s on Mondays as well! Guiness was poured beautifully! Can’t wait to come back here!

The best onion rings in the universe. And the fish and chips were spectacular, too!
This is the place to go if you want to be “bad” and eat really good fried food.
Live music and no cover charge on weekend evenings.

Nothing wrong with the place, just a generic “British pub”.
They had a menu of local craft beers on tap, which i liked (Anderson Valley, Dust Bowl, for example, and a few more).
They have Fullers and Guinness, for those looking to get the more traditional “British pub” experience.

Cute little neighborhood pub. The food was delicious and the waitress with purple hair was attentive/nice/ awesome (hi if you’re reading this!). The items were maybe a little more expensive than I would pay for by a few dollars, but I think I’m okay with that since the overall experience was very positive. I would definitely come again!

I visited this restaurant with my girlfriend and friend after hearing a local band would be playing. Tonight was a full house, I did not see a single empty seat throughout the pub.
Starting with the food, I got the Dover sole with lemon caper sauce. It seemed to be a lighter (and presumably healthier) choice compared to burgers, pasta, etc. The fish came with broccoli and rice on the side. Everything was very tasty; the fish was soft and flaky and went really well with a squeeze of lemon. The rice was soft, fluffy, and had a good flavor from the pico de gallo.
The main selling point tonight was the atmosphere. We had front row seats to the show: a local swing jazz group.
Overall, great place to eat and share a drink or two with friends and chat.

English pub with an East Bay flair. This place has some traditional British faire such as bangers and mash, as well as East Bay foods. In my experience they always have at least two vegetarian items on the menu. The beer selection is extensive as well.
The big draw for my family is the large kids play area over in a corner. It lets us all enjoy the wait (me with beer, my 4 year old with pirate ship). There’s also a large chalkboard for little artists.
Come early though, it does get crowded at night and eventually the play area becomes a music stage.

Quaint British style pub with some traditional food. My husband and I both got the Full English Fry Up. Very tasty. Ask for the jam, it’s delicious on english muffins!

A group and I came here on a whim after our show, and when I say I was blown away, I mean it. From service, to quality, to price, this place is doing it right.
We happened to be sitting in Jenny’s section, and she was so lovely. She took care of us and even though the place was packed, like multiple turn over on tables packed, Jenny made sure to keep us updated on food times, and drink orders. She was the epitome of what good service is! She even brought out extra onion rings because our food was taking longer than expected! Did she need to do that? Not at all- but on top of all of that, the owner came out to apologize about food times! It was incredible! this place gets it – if you want repeat customers, you make them feel like family, and that’s what we felt like, family.
Now let’s talk about the food and the quality of it. My husband convinced me to order the rib eye, which I had no intention of doing, but my guy has a special talent for instantly knowing a quality kitchen, and let me tell you, he hasn’t been wrong yet! The quality of the steak they serve is better (and larger) than most restaurants in SF. It was a marbled thing of beauty (not to mention, bigger than my head!)
This place is gem, and if you happen to be around at the right time of night, you might just see the mayor, Odin, stop by for a special treat!

DO NOT GET THE VEGGIE BURGER. They ought to be ashamed selling that nasty thing for 18. The pork chop was pretty good. Mashed potatoes were delish. The place is a little bit of a dump….and the kids area is kinda messy/run-down. Service meh. We ended up spending 138 after tip for two adults and two kids. You can probably find a lot better options for your money. I wished we had gone to the pizza place across the street instead which was very busy.

Hands down the best fish and chips I have had in a very long time! The service was friendly and the prices were fair. Excellent draft beer selection and big screen TVs for watching sports. Definitely worth a visit.
