Prenup Pub is the latest outpost in the empire anchored by Sin & Redemption, the Village Idiot, and the Town Crier. It provides a decent beer outpost to a section of College Street and the U of T campus that are sorely lacking good beer.
The Pros:
The beer list is generally pretty good and extensive. Quite a few Belgian beers, some Germans, etc. It's a little weak on the Belgian count compared to Sin & Redemption, but perfectly tolerable. The draft prices are reasonable...maybe even a bit less than what one would pay at completely ordinary bars down the road.
The bottle list is great with incredibly reasonable prices. An Achel bruin for $8? Amen!
They've done a decent job with the renovations at this spot, which was previously a bit depressing.
The Cons:
Like most of the sister restaurants service is generally the weak point. Turnover seems to be rather high and the staff are generally given almost no beer training....don't ask for a recommendation here...use google or your friends instead.
Also, what is up with this completely silly name. Is this a regret of the owner to have not signed a prenup? The signs on the outside are quite amateurish. Kind of funny.
I haven't tried the food yet, so stay tuned for an update.
