Try the rare roast beef--it's great. French onion soup is also excellent. However, the daily pasta specials and the quiche both lack flavor. The burger and sandwiches come with chips (no fries?). The staff is friendly and helpful.

The atmosophere and great sandwiches, pastas, and soup are what make this such a great Lunch destination.

Pros: Location, Atmosphere, Food

the food here is excellent, and has always been a good value. i've been eating the rare roast beef on sourdough with french onion soup for 18 years. if you like chain restaurant food with singing waiters and goofy outfits...don't eat here! this is a place to relax and enjoy your meal with good company...this place is for grown-ups, not for adults who need to be entertained like children.

Pros: great homebrew!, growlers to-go!, no kids! no whining!

Like the food, love the patio, love the beer. Now the bad. No host/hostess, seating is a free for all. On a recent Sat night (albeit after sundance) and the place was crowded, not jammed, but full. There were probably 6 groups milling about wondering what to do in terms of finding a table. The waiters finally said sit where you can. After spying a departing group we immediately plopped down at a tale covered in the detritus of the previous group. This was pretty disgusting. The waitress said they had tried hostesses but with three entrances it was too hard to monitor. Come off it put some effort in and you can make it work, show your customers you care. Im sure this is worse on Fri and Sat. So stick to Sun-Thurs.

Pros: Good food,, good patio, great beer

Cons: no hostess, no hostess, free for all

This is the best locally brewed beer in town!! Gotta have a Latter-Day Stout.

For me the beer brewed here is pehaps the best on site beer in the valley. The food also is usually excellent (my favorite being the rare roast beef on soughdough w/ french onion soup). No doubt the Pilsner and the Stout are great. And the seasonal beers are often just as good. Unfortunately the atmostphere is lacking. I used to frequent this place when it was only known as "The Pub (at Trolly Square), and at that time there was quite a lively atmosphere. However, since introducing the "brewery" the place has lost it's charm. It could now benefit bigtime from several well placed sports monitors and some friendly (perhaps even attractive) servers. I would be down there a couple of times a week if this were the case!

Pros: Beer, Food, Location

Cons: Atmosphere, Service

This was, with out a doubt the poorest service i have ever had. After being seated, which took an unusually long time, we ordered our food. Just shy of an hour later it arrived. My drink was only refilled once, and they continually messed up my friends drink. The food was overpriced for the portions; i went home hungry and dissappointed. When we asked for the manager, our cashier became defensive and rude. Claiming it was because they were busy. Watching the people who order after you, eat before you, was a lot of fun. We only waited for our food because of the high recommendation we were given. I was amazed at our server and cashier's attitude towards the problem. I will never eat there again, and would certainly never recommend this restaurant to anyone

Pros: good parking

Cons: Not Filling, Rude Service, Cramped

The Pub is a cool place to hang out. My boyfriend and I will go to get the rare roast beef on rye sandwiches. Delish! Its a cool place because not too many kids usually. So, a more grown up crowd and not too many shrieking infants. Whenever we go, the staff is always friendly and accomodating and our food is always fresh and tasty. Another of our favorite places! moe

Pros: good parking, laid back atmosphere, not a lot of kids

This is a very comfortable restaurant--great for an after-shopping meal or pre-movie bite. French onion soup is simply delicious. Greek pasta salad is a favorite. The small patio is a great place to perch on a summer evening and enjoy a beer.

Pros: Plenty of parking

Cons: Crowded patio
