While I'm not big on Firkin pubs, I will say that this is my favourite of the bunch.
The inside is less run down than the others I've been to, and the patio is nice being tucked down the side of the building. They have regular drink specials ($9 giant mugs of MGD on Thursdays!), and also got a lot of other stuff in the area for a good night of bar hopping. Admittedly when I was there last time they had live music (guitarist/singer, bongo guy) and it was unbearably loud, but Im not sure if thats a regular thing.
So while I wouldn't define this as a destination to plan for, when in the area and looking for pub food and drinks, its a safe bet.
