It's hard to recreate the ambiance of a proper British pub in a strip mall, but spirit of the smallish joint was spot on. Pints of Smithwick's & Fuller's London Pride were delightful, and reasonably priced. The place was packed on a Saturday night, presumably for the band which added nicely to mood. Completing the British atmosphere, the bloke next to me at the bar has certainly minded a few gaps in his time.
I was starving, and the fish and chips I was jonesing for hit the spot. The large haddock filet had a nice crunchy batter and was moist and flaky inside. The chips we're a little cold, but it didn't matter. The shoestring cut frites were crazy addictive. Cole slaw was well dressed and complemented the fish. The portion size was not huge, but this was a tasty and authentic meal for $10. I could have eaten two orders, but that is because it was that good, and I am a pig. A slice of soda bread or rye would have been a nice touch, but now I am splitting hairs. Good stuff, mate, I'll be back to try the brisket bap. Cheers!
