I agree that most of my rating also has to go with the name of the pub, which completely excited me at first. I love the cozy feel of it all and it definitely reminds me of pubs in London. However, alot of aspects at Artful Dodger (beer selection, booth seating, outdoor patio, bar, etc.) are the same at any other pub.
However, I am a huge sucker for their wings. Thursdays are their wing special days (I believe it's $10 for all you can eat) and I have let go a top button or two on my pants after a satisfying eat here.
It's one of those places that if it's a Thursday and I'm in the area, I'm there. But it's nothing to waste extra tokens or a metropass swipe on.
