Beatles cover band + delicious apple/blackberry pastry with ice cream and warm custard + random weird guy hitting on me = a strangely fun time
Oh and Boddingtons ale. That pretty much sums up my experience at Queen Victoria Pub.
We went here after some sextuple-header roller derby action. We weren't really hungry, but thirsty for some ale and craving some sweets. The apple/blackberry pie totally hit the spot. The crust was perfectly flaky and the custard was absolutely delicious. Boddingtons isn't anything special, but it was on tap, not something I see often, and it felt like the perfect beer for the British pub vibe.
And the Beatles cover band was surprisingly good too. The place was a tad loud, especially with the band playing and everything. Also, the server took a while to get our check to us. But overall, I had a fun experience at QVP.
