| - Wanting some decent food around midnight without having to pay Mastro's prices, four of us wandered into Todd English P.U.B. We were seated quickly on the room on the side and given the Late Night Menu (good from 11:00pm-1:30am). Looking around, they seem to have the raw bar in the middle with the small, slightly darker and more pub-like room on the side, an outdoor patio on the other side, and a more well lit dining room in the back. There's a mix of polished cement, tile, and wood throughout. It's modern yet still warm.
The beer menu here is fantastic. It's not as extensive as some places, but they have a great variety of quality beers with excellent descriptions. I had the Wexford Irish Cream. For those who love cream ales and rue the day that Caffrey's was bought out by Coors who stopped importing it to the US, then Wexford is probably the closest thing you'll find.
The food here is good too. Not the most amazing food in the world, but very tasty. We shared a bunch of plates:
-- Caesar salad: Pretty standard. Very good croutons.
-- Grilled soft mini pretzels. These are about the size of a long cigars.
-- Corn dog puppies. I'm not usually a fan of corn dogs, but these were fantastic. Amazing, light, yet tasty breading. They came with skinny fries which were unremarkable.
-- Kelley's roast beef sliders. KM asked for them without wiz, which made them a bit dry. Passable, but average.
-- Chicken parm sliders. Just how chicken parm should be but on a small bun. Good stuff.
-- Man of steel burger. Cooked just right. The potato bread bun was a nice touch.
The only downer here is the service was sort of off. For a place that was less than half full our waitress took way too long to make her rounds.
