Let's be clear, The Rose is a local watering hole, that doesn't try to be too fancy or over the top. And that's what makes it a great local pub for the area.
The staff is friendly and helpful and are generally on top of their tables, unless it is late on a Friday or Saturday night when the bar gets a little too busy.
There is live music of different varieties every night, so it feels different consistently, though the live music level tends to be too loud.
This bar is at its best during the summer months, anytime between 4-8 pm any day of the week. Grab a table at the open window and watch the world go by. It's not too busy before 8 pm, so the service is exceptional and the place is comfortable.
You won't find anything too fancy on the menu or on tap, again it is a local watering hole with pub food, and sometimes simple is better!
