| - I was in town for the week for work & decided to head to a random movie theater on one of my nights off. While driving to the movies (at a place that turned out to be one of those old-school type theaters that serves beer! separately reviewed) I drove through this neighborhood on Lee Rd that looks to have quite a few cute little restaurants & pubs. I had to stop. I checked on Yelp & decided to go to Brennan's based on someone's review of their meatloaf (I'm a meatloaf connoisseur).
Once in, I could see that this was a darkish sort of pub, definitely a locals place, I saw a few couples sitting around on dinner dates. I think I threw off the staff being a single lady eating at the bar by myself, because I got my beer real quick, but had to ask someone for a menu after waiting about 5 minutes. It took another 5+ minutes before I could get someone to take my order for the meatloaf special. But, once the order was placed, my food came out quick.
The salad was the typical iceberg lettuce type thing which I'm okay with. The meatloaf, however, was out of this world. The meatloaf slice was a little crunchy. It was as if they toasted the slice after baking the loaf & it was served on some crunchy green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was smothered with gravy. Yum. My heart thanks me, I'm sure.
On the beer side, they had the regular beers plus some Dogfish, Great Lakes and Rogue (!) on tap. I had the Great Lakes and the Rogue Dead Guys Ale. The Rogue was perfect with the meatloaf.
If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd go there frequently.
