| - We had a really nice low-key dinner here and it was one of the more tastier fare (as well as cheaper) during our week in Vegas. If you like beer, meat, and dark ambiance, this gastropub is for you! Drinks here come by the pint, yard, or pitcher. My friend was not a fan of beer so she ordered a yard of hard cider, which came with its own stand. I'm not quite the lush she is so I settled for a pint of beer. We sat near the bar and we witnessed some patrons going for the "drink a beer in 7 seconds and it's free" challenge. One guy came out a winner, while the other guy threw up all over the floor. They thought it was a good sport so they comped the beer anyway. If you hear the ring of a bell throughout your service, it means someone has successfully completed this challenge.
My friend ordered from the Carvery (brisket, jumbo English muffin, with maple soy and black truffle mayo). For $16, it was a really sizable amount of food. I ordered the brown butter lobster rolls. Outstanding! I had lobster rolls last year as an appetizer at Michael Mina's Nob Hill and they were nowhere as good as these. Todd English gets it right. Portions were generous, as well. I had trouble finishing all that delicious lobster.
Service was so-so. Our server was friendly but she kept forgetting things and we had to remind her a few times about them. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place if you like good beer and good pub food. Also, thanks to their flat screens, this would be a great place to catch a game, too.
