   My sister had always been curious about the pub. We stopped by on our way home. At first I was not impressed. The bar is interesting but the chairs and tables look like they came from an office. The restroom was spotless. We stated with a Sam Adams. The beer was nice and cold. The hot wings and chicken strips were very good. The waffle fries were also good. The onion rings were excellent. The prices are very reasonable and the staff was quite attentive. I will definitely go back. See more..
