So this is a place with quite a lot of history, where Nirvana once played a secret show for about 50 people. So we had to stop by for drinks, and they were actually cheaper than in most places in this area. Good atmosphere too.

This feels like a fusion of Scottish and Irish pubs. Loved the style and the beer/food is really good. Especially fish and chips.

Went during a busy time when they didn't seem to have many staff on and had quite a few large bookings. Food was really nice, although took a little while to come (big bookings), and there's a varied cocktail menu. Staff were overrun but we're friendly and nice, just obviously needed a few more of them to service such a large place!

We happened upon this establishment after our first option to eat was fully reserved---we are glad we did! The waitress was nice and attentive. The food was well made, tasty and timely. We ordered starters and vegetarian and fish main courses. Moreover, the drink selection will make any alcoholic skip their AA class;)

Cozy atmosphere, good service, nice selection of beer on tap. Chicken wings are good enough but could have more sauce options other than BBQ.
