The Rose and the Crown is located in Heritage Square and seems to be in a revolving door location...many different restaurants in the same location over many years...
The food: I had the fish and chips and they weren't that bad and weren't that good. The "brick" of fish wasn't so great, but the chips were excellent. Another draw back...no HP sauce! Any good anglophile will tell HP sauce and chips are a necessary combo...
The beer: Great choices...Gotta try the Old Peculiar and anytime you can find Rogue Dead Guy, go for it...
The reason for the 4 stars...Ambience.
I am huge fan of Phoenix's move in using "house" for restaurants...Great examples include Cibo, Fate, and so on..
Authentic dartboards ( no electronic! ) and a great jukebox/Sirius radio...
Loads of fun, cool people, and great location in the downtown area.
Go as soon as possible!
