I have to say the main reason my friends and I make this a regular stop on our weekly happy hour circuit is Kirstin (the waitress with the yellow shock of hair). She was our waitress our first group visit and she was excellent in helping us navigate the beer/drink menu and order enough food. Our glasses were never empty and she always had a smile and a fun comment for the table. We all enjoyed her thoroughly and have since come back to the Rose and Crown for her alone.
Because after all, this bar is not easy to access. It costs money to park in the garage. The food is just okay and the drinks are a tad expensive.
What we like is the service and the atmosphere, and my group of 8-10 friends will continue to come here as long as Kristin is working.
Ask for Kirstin when you go there. She'll make you laugh and your visit will be great.
