| - All of their servers here are very pleasant and really, really knowledgeable about beer. seriously, every time I come here I learn something new and that is totally great. But when you go to an old place expecting to have a small-talk type conversation with familiar face about everything and anything going on in beer-land and see a bunch different faces instead, kinda irks me a bit. Consistency is not only awesome, but it makes a customer feel more welcome and at home. Not to mention the bartender I had the other night who couldn't tell me more about what was on cask besides the name of the batch and brewer, really? You're a bartender and you cant tell me how whatever you have on cask compares to, oh, say.. anything you have on tap? Isn't that your job? Or do you just not care? Also, what's up with the creepy/sketchy men hanging out at the bar almost every time I am in there, presumably making various kinds of deals with each other and ogling anything with breasts? Way to set an atmosphere.... And, I would way rather NOT watch crappy cp24 when I'm trying to unwind after work, just sayin'.
Other then that, their taps are decent. Their service is most-excellent, and their food isn't too bad either, albeit a bit pricey for general pub fare. It's probably better to hang out here on a quiet weeknight as it gets pretty packed on weekends.
2 stars for the servers beer and food, no stars for the old men, stuck-up bartender and all around shitty atmosphere that those two things create.
