| - Mmmm, fish & chips.
First time at the new location. I know, what's my deal? I'm a horrible procrastinator.
Ok, let's get the critiques out of the way first. I saw one server wearing a Union Jack tie, and thought "Oh, how quirky, it must be ironic." Then I saw 3 more and realized, "Oh, you poor things, that's your uniform." Look, I get it, it's a British pub but really? You can't make me believe that British bartenders all wear flag ties. The decor was also a little too kitschy for me- while I could believe that pubs in the UK may have their flag on display, I hardly think it's one with Prince William's wedding picture on it. Come on.
Ok, all that aside, I still had a good experience. I went with the haddock sandwich, which while I enjoyed it, was quite messy and fell apart in my hands. It wasn't really poorly made, there was just so much fish it was hard to stay in one piece. I'll definitely stick with regular fish & chips next time. Chips (fries, whatever) were nice and hot, with both malt vinegar and ketchup offered. (I won't lie, I used both. Sorry.)
Bar service was excellent, bartender recommended Warsteiner Oktoberfest over the more popular Sam Adams, and it was an excellent choice. There were a few more foreign beers on there I'm eager to try.
Haven't been here yet? What's your deal?
