« Back to the bar of the week

This English-style pub was established in September 2003 and is one of the few downtown bars that has an over-21 policy.

Just like a British bar would, draft beers are served in 20-ounce pints, as well as 10-ounce "halves."

Food is limited to Butch's Pizza further enhancing the pub-style atmosphere.

Karaoke is provided by Randy on Tuesdays from 9:30 pm until 2 am, while Wednesdays are the home of Traditional Irish Music (7 pm-10 pm) and Acoustic Open Mic Night (10:30 pm-1:30 am).
