| - My wife and I were driving southbound on Paradise after visiting the strip. We saw this British Pub and decided to go in for a late lunch on a Sunday, so there were a few people in the bar/restaurant drinking beer, eating food, and watching the late games.
We were helped right away and told to sit wherever we wanted. We were provided with our menus and decided to just drink water. The waitress was friendly, but kind of quirky. She was an outstanding water water-re filler (one of the best ever actually)
I ordered the curry chicken and my wife ordered a blue-cheese hamburger. The waitress returned a few minutes later and informed me they were out of the chicken curry. I chose the Chicken Marsala instead.
We waited about 20 minutes when our food arrived. We observed the wait staff and it seemed the waitstaff were a bit disorganized in that we had a couple different waitresses helping us and we noticed some other patrons seemingly being ignored for an extended period of time after their arrival.
The food was really good actually, considering it's a "British Pub." We did notice a weird thing at the bar behind us. One of the bartenders was making a mixed beverage in front of a patron. She asked the patron if he wanted to taste the drink. He said he did and she allowed him to sip some of the beverage from the straw. She then removed the straw from the drink, discarded it, replaced the straw, then served the drink to another patron on the other side of the bar. We thought this was kind of unprofessional and potentially unsanitary.
Anyway, we thought this place was not bad and has a lot of room to be successful in that they can be a sports bar with all the nice HDTVs, all the space, and the play on words with the "Firkin'" name.
