We stopped into Six Pence Pub in Baxter Village on our way from Charlotte to Greenville, SC to visit with friends. From the outside the pub looks like a traditional English pub complete with phone booth. Inside the bar and dining room are beautifully decorated with dark wood and tin ceilings.
We enjoyed delicious wine and beer then ordered something lite. I had seen the french onion soup coming out of the kitchen all night so I figured it had to be good, right? Both of us ordered the soup and sandwich. We both got the french onion and I got the turkey sandwich and my wife got the roast beef. The french onion soup was not good at all. The onions were thick and not fully cooked/carmelized like french onion soup should be. The broth and cheese were great but the onions, where not good at all. The sandwich was just a sandwich, nothing exciting to report there.
The website says they stay open till midnight on the night we went but around 10pm we started getting pushed out the door, literally. Our waitress asked for the bill/tip book so she could leave. We left around 10:45pm after being asked to move tables so they could put the tables back together for the next day.
We had a great time with our friends, the atmosphere was lovely, but the food and service was a let down. If we did go back, which isn't likely, we'd stick to the bar area and just drink.
