| - There aren't very many low-key places to eat & hang out on the strip so P.U.B. was a welcome change of pace at the end of a long weekend. The place is pretty huge but somehow still manages to have that cozy red British pub vibe. Service is very friendly and accommodating. We had a very large party (14, yikes!) and they were able to seat us together. Two servers took care of our table and we had no issues with the ordering process or the bill. Impressive!
I would say the only place P.U.B. fell short was the food. With Todd English lending his name to the place, I expected better. The menu reads amazing, but when the food comes out, SURPRISE! It's just typical pub fare. My veggie-less Chicken Pot Pie was a flop, as were the not-so-fresh Fish & Chips. The lobster rolls were sort of bland and borderline soggy. The best thing I tried at the table was a basic Shepherd's Pie. Maybe the carvery is the way to go (choose a meat, bread, and sauces), but it comes with zero vegetables so you have to order those separately.
Price-wise, beers run around $10 a pint for most of the microbrews, BUT if you can chug one in 7 seconds or less, it's free! Hmmm, maybe we should have come here at the beginning of the weekend instead! Expect to drop around $40 for a beer and a meal here all-in. That's practically chump change for dinner in Vegas, plus you can wear shorts and flip flops!
