The staff is super super super friendly. You order everything at the bar, which turns out to be much less of a hassle than it might sound. Speaking of sound, when you're here at peak time, it is extremely loud. Lots of gin and whiskey to choose from. The menu is definitely several notches above similar "pubs:" the lamb skewer is an excellent deal, the salad with pickled beets and the smoked trout appetizer are delicious. Skip the puddings, though.
