| - I usually come in here on a weekday after practice to grab a pint. Their selection of beers on tap and bottled is above average for what they charge, and the food is consistently good. The wait staff is very kind, but tend to be slow with checking on tables, even on weekday evenings (I have been here on the weekends when it's more crowded. Funnily enough, they are faster on the weekends).
The place is huge, so you can definitely come in here with a big group, and that may be the best way to travel into this place as it gets pretty rowdy after 10.
In general its between okay and pretty good, but the reason I'd say 3 stars and not 4 are the bouncers and the line on the weekend. This is a pretty laid back, albeit large pub, but it's a pub basically. I don't see any reason to have a line trailing out the door like it's a hot club, especially if there's room inside. I haven't been stuck in the line before but a friend was meeting up with our group (which had been there since 10) at about 11, and had to wait in line til 11:30, even though we had a seat waiting for her inside. It was a little frustrating. Also the bouncers were treating me like a delinquent because I didn't present my ID immediately upon reentering the bar (after stepping out to make a call). There really isn't any reason for that. i wasn't even drinking that night as i was the DD, and they were treating me like a drunk moron and said something like "Uh, you can't just walk in wherever you want lady."
That is my only contention, and they aren't like that during the week which is when I usually go. But yea, the attitude at the door is a little unnecessary. After you get in it's a great time!
