This is a great "Irish" pub that has a good atmosphere and serves decent food. I have been here for lunch and dinner on more than a few occasions, and it always hits the spot. The service is great and the staff are extremely friendly.
There is a patio out back for the summer with large benches, perfect for socializing with a group of friends. I also love the open fireplace and the board games they keep on shelves for customers to play as they enjoy their drink.
Stout's lunch and dinner menu is excellent, and is always a reliable choice. My favourite is the Cajun chicken sandwich and I'm told their fish and chips is excellent too.
The brunch, however, is only ok. I dropped by last weekend and had the eggs benedict. I found the home fries very tasteless and the eggs benedict was good but not great. I ordered it without spinach, but overall found it a bit bland.
Three stars for the brunch (will try something else for brunch next time) but a solid four stars for service, atmosphere and cleanliness.
