| - A pub in a supermarket is bizarre, I know, but somehow it works. There we were on a Saturday evening, not starving, but looking for a little nosh and a couple drinks. I'd been wanting to try 20H since checking out the menu, so what the hell, it seemed perfect.
We plopped down at one of the low tables with a good view of the freezer aisle shenanigans and proceeded to devour a cheese plate and beer/cheese dip. OMG, excellent! The cheese plate could have used more fig preserves, and the cheese dip would have been better with soft (not toasted) pretzel bread, but we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was. I tried the cucumber-lime wine cocktail and was not blown away, but we had a couple of excellent niche beers.
If this was a standalone pub, I'm not sure how I'd feel about it. But placed inside a high-end grocery store? The people watching is excellent and we had a glorious time making fun of excessive and inappropriate label scrutiny. We'll be back.
