A gastropub it seems like this word has been popping up everywhere lately. I've been asked several times what a gastropub is and to be honest I'm not really sure. A gastropub to me is a casual joint that serves good beer and great food more upscale then a neighborhood pub usually has a large selection of small plates and great french fries. Every gastropub I've been to seems to be very hip. The web definitions vary from a public house, a drinking-establishment of British influence, a bar that serves a higher standard of food then a normal pub. You choose what you want it to mean, anyway you should definitely check one out. Like the Liberty.
I met a friend of mine for lunch at The Liberty and I thought the food was quite good. We shared the Ashley Farms Chicken Breast with Avocado, Havarti Cheese, Chipotle Aioli. The chicken was grilled perfectly and the roasted red peppers were a great plus. Did I mention the roll it was served on it was so soft and delicious. We also tried the Grilled Shrimp Salad with Bibb Lettuce, Tomato, & Lemon Vinaigrette, now this was pretty plain I think I could have made something better at home.
I don't want to leave out the crispy french fries though, they were some of the best I've had in town. I would definitely come again for lunch and maybe try dinner they have a great beer selection, and it looks like a fun place to hang out with some friends.
