Great neighborhood bar! Although I wish there was a non-smoking bar in Polish Hill, at least Pope's has a pretty serious air filtration system in the ceiling, so it's not as bad as some of the others.
It's nice to have the option of a cleaner bar for my friends who don't appreciate the grunge scene as much. If my parents were in town, this would definitely be the neighborhood bar I'd take them to! They have a good selection of craft beers on tap and even have a few sandwich options. The owner is often there bartending and he is very friendly!
I'm glad Pope's is in the neighborhood!
