| - I couldn't believe how quiet and empty this place was for the USA-Portugal World Cup game yesterday. Was I missing something?!
Anyway, walking in and having the liberty of choosing our seats and the particular tv we wanted to focus on was a really welcome surprise! I love the layout of this pub, there's a variety of different types of seats, from bar stools, to cosy family booths, and an abundance of tvs, all of which are easy to see and hear, but none of which are overly obtrusive or bothersome to those who don't wish to watch what's on. Five stars for comfort!!
Our server was nice, and the manager/owner was super nice! They seemed a bit disorganised though - every time our server asked us what drinks we wanted, or if we wanted to order food, or if everything was ok, the manager/owner would follow up and ask the same question about five minutes later? Strange.
We waited quite a long time for our drinks, which was odd as the place was virtually empty. I didn't order food, as I dined here before a few months ago and found the food expensive, and not the highest quality.
Despite the imperfections though, this place is so cosy and it was absolute bliss being able to watch the game here in such nice surroundings.
If all you want is a drink downtown and a chance to watch some sport on tv in comfortable, quiet(ish) surroundings, then this is the place for you.
For a buzzing atmosphere and a great meal, I'd probably go elsewhere, but this is great for what it is.
