This is a difficult review to write because there is much to like here, and much of what I don't like may not be the pub's fault. First, the servers are welcoming and attentive--no issues there. The beer selection is very good--no issues there. Food wise, this is a very difficult place for me to eat as I am a vegan and hubby is a vegetarian. I realize it's a pub and they cater to a pub crowd, but would it kill them to have a few healthier options? These days who doesn't have a veggie burger on the menu--The Black Dog that's who. Even food aside, my biggest issue with this pub is the local crowd that gathers every night at the bar. The more they drink the louder and more obnoxious they become. The language used at the bar is atrocious. I've even been witness to this going on at 8pm when families and children are in abundance. I'm not a prude by any means, but when every other word is a curse and the volume is such that I can't have a normal conversation with my husband, there is an issue. There are some nights we would like to come for a few beers and hang out for awhile, but cannot tolerate the nonsense of the regulars. I wish management would step in at some point and cool these guys off.
