It's beautifully decorated inside and has an outdoor space too which is great for a small event. We started off with Aperol Spritz and wine and some great apertivi including great prosciutto some of the best bread I have ever tasted (lightly fried in olive oil!). Next up there was vegetarian lasagna and some unusual and delicious lemony meat pasta - I would never have combined those but it worked perfectly. Apparently the cocktails are great too but I moved on the muscato which was reasonably proced at 4 euros.

We came every night during our four night stay, and it was always a great atmosphere inside and out. The downstairs bar has a great beer selection. If you look behind the bar, they have shelves with all the bottles, labeled by style. We tried a few new barrel aged stouts we had never come across, some of which were solid 10/10 beers. The food puts them over the top. The cheddar burger is a tasty burger, but the fries. Oh these fries. They are so crispy, so salty, and almost pinched in the middle so they have a little curl. They are so delicious, a real treat to end a long day's wanderin'. Bonus points because all the staff we interacted with was lovely every time we visited.

Hours here are also very sporadic so best to call ahead (call Umberto) to see if they are open. IIRC, we arrived there on a weekday (Wednesday or Thursday) and it was open from 8pm or so until whenever you're ready to go home. Goblin Pub is very much the traditional beer dive with a very homely feel and small but impressive tap list. There are about six rotating Italian micros on tap with 6+ static macros like some English bitters, Guinness, and run-of-the-mill stuff. The beer cellar is quite impressive with everything from 1970's Chimay to one-off Cantillon lambics. We had a fabulous time with Umberto and really fell in love with the place. Food here was prepared by Umberto especially for us and the meal was one of the best I've had in a long time. Five courses, all prepared with beer as an ingredient in some way: antipasti, grapefruit/bell pepper salad, pot roasted short ribs, cheese platters, wild dessert. Really was an amazing experience.
