| - Forgive me for putting on my "I Remember When" old-man hat, but I remember when this place used to try to be an authentic Scottish pub with Scottish ales, and food and the like. So Scottish that it tried to be, it had a Rangers Club sandwich and a Celtic Club sandwich where the only difference was the name and the supporter who ordered them. Cute. But the years of folks forgetting about this place took their toll and ran this place into the ground somewhat.
Now, since going through an episode of Restaurant Makeover, it has retained its warm pub-by feel, but has been cleaned up and brings an inviting menu and list of taps that will satisfy even the purist. My new introduction since the makeover came after a particularly gruelling night of soccer and a need for a thirst-quencher and late-night bite. My fellow teammates and I descended for pitchers of beer and not knowing anything about the menu since the renovation, opted for the sports platter of perogies, wings, beef ribs, bruschetta, and fries. Though somewhat scattered in its range, the menu holds up on the more gastro-pub side of pub fare.
They even have their own club if you feel like this is a place to get to frequently. Apparently membership provides discounts and invites to special members-only events. It's a bit far afield for me, but if you live in the area, you may wish to give it a look. Definitely a place to try out or retry if you've been in the previous messy days of sectarian sandwiches.
