This is not your ordinary pub. It offers more! Came here for a firm event (not my firm). We had a…read moresection of the basement area booked. There are 8 bowling lanes downstairs. We came during happy between 3 and 6pm. I got the strawberry lemonade alcoholic drink and a ginger beer. I also got to try the: 1. Honey Garlic Wings: which tasted like honey mustard wings. It was ok not wow 2. Nachos: nice crispy nachos with lots of cheesy dipping 3. Mesquite Bacon and Roasted Mushroom Pizza: It was ok and somewhat lacking in bacon or meat. But again, they only offer 3 different kinds of pizza with one of them being a vegetarian pizza. 4. Korean Fried Chicken: Ok, that was my favorite item out of everything I tasted here. They were so good The chicken was juicy in the center. 5. Sausage and Pretzels: The pretzels were somewhat disappointing. It wasn't as soft as I hope it would be. I am not a fan of sausage so I didn't try any 6. Pulled Pork Tacos: The pulled pork was super dried. I wish there were more sauce. But on the bright-side at least there are lots of meat. 7. Salt and Pepper Wings: Ok... I am not a big fan of anything with lots of pepper in them. But these salt and pepper wings were really really good. It went really well with the ranch dipping sauce. The chicken was juicy and the outside skin was crunchy. It was perfect. Overall, I really liked them. Food portion size was not bad and all the food came pretty quick. We also played 2 rounds of bowling. Guess what my bowling name was? Yup, I am Yelp1. So played 2 games. First game came in 3rd place and second game came in 2nd place. I got lucky. The game went smooth. No pins or balls got stuck. I did find the bowling ball weight or size is somewhat limiting. There were more L or XL balls than S size balls. They don't have a place where I can pick up more S balls. So I usually have to wait for the 8 or 9 to return. It could also be the lane I was playing in too. Overall, both games were super fun. I had a fun night. Looks like this place gets super busy after work hours. The lady managing the bowling shoes was working very fast. Overall, I highly recommend Nationals. I would say out of all the Nationals that I have been to, this one is so far my favorite. Note that in the summer time, they have the patio at the top floor open. This would be great for those outdoor people who wants to get a tan while eating/enjoying their day. Definitely a fun memorable day for me. Had great food, met some new friends and played some fun games here. Wow... a place where you can do all that. JUST GREAT!

This place completely lost my respect because of one staff member, Nadia. I have never dealt with…read moresomeone this rude in any club. She blocked me from entering for absolutely NO reason and talked to me with an attitude like she owned the place. Her behavior was straight-up unprofessional, disrespectful, and totally out of line for someone working the door. I did NOTHING wrong. I wasn't causing problems. Yet she spoke to me like I was some kind of issue, and her attitude is what got me banned from the only spot I actually enjoy. One person's power trip shouldn't ruin someone's night, but that's exactly what she did. If management cares at all about this place, they need to take a serious look at who they're putting at the front door, because Nadia's behavior is out of control and completely unacceptable.

We arrived for a late lunch and were seated right away on their lovely outdoor patio…read more Unfortunately, service was slow from the start, it took quite a while before anyone even acknowledged us, and for a while, we weren't sure who our server was. Here's what we ordered: Mango boba - surprisingly tart and could've used a bit of sweetness Peanut chicken salad - flavorful and refreshing, with noodles at the bottom Fish tacos with sweet potato fries - the beer-battered fish was crispy and delicious While the food was solid and the patio atmosphere was great, the service really impacted our experience. When we were ready to pay, it was difficult to get our server's attention. My husband eventually had to approach her across the patio, and she processed our payment while standing right there. It seemed like they were short-staffed the day we visited, which might explain the delays, but the lack of attention was still frustrating. Overall, good food and a nice setting, but I'd give it 3.5 stars due to the service issues

Nice ambience especially in the outdoor area, and great for large groups looking for a laid back…read moreevening. The food was ok, and the service was friendly but not attentive enough. Food here is just alright. Fish tacos weren't bad but the fish wasn't crispy at all. The quasedilla "tortilla" was a little thick. The meat in the BBQ rice bowl was pretty good, but the ratio of rice to everything else was too high. The salad was pretty good and quite a large serving. We had A LOT of trouble flagging down our waitress, especially near the end when we were ready to pay, which was quite frustrating and the main reason I'm docking stars. However, I will say the setup outside is really nice. There are hanging plants, pretty large tables, music that's not too loud, and overall a nice vibe. I think for a slow, casual evening out this place will have you covered.

The service was also incredibly fast. It was Taco Tuesday and the tacos were great. They were haddock and perfectly fried. The aioli was great and little messy (in a good way). They have a hot sauce carousel from mild to wild as they said. I mixed the last 2 and that was the magic touch of spice and garlic. The oysters were great and perfectly shucked. Good experience and great lunch.

Extensive menu, lots of choices for both food and drinks. We ordered, and while it took a fair time to get our order (again, it was busy, so I get it), it was so worth it! Our table got a BLT sandwich with tots, a clubhouse with tots, a wild boar smash burger with fries and a chicken wrap with fries. All the food looked picture perfect, and we all had nothing but good things to say about our meals. Our server was honestly a breath of fresh air. Very personable, and despite the bustling atmosphere, took time to have some quick conversations with us, which was a pleasant surprise from the usual bar/pub serving staff. That, along with the food, is the reason we will be back!!

My lovely missus (the weather was just about as lovely) and I decided to hit Stephen Ave for the…read moreday and crawl a few establishments. As we wandered trying to decide where to begin, we found ourselves looking in the windows of the Social Beer Haus and their sidewalk sign had Caesars on special. I was unaware of this establishment and discovered from Yelp that it is relatively new. We were greeted and quickly seated immediately noticing that the establishment is very large - essentially two rooms. The place is very open and modern! There was not much happening, as we were in early - just after 11:00 am. As I sipped my Caesar and the Missus sipped her $5.00 sleeve of Steam Whistle, we perused the menu to which we discovered featured a full spread of smokehouse items! Meats by the half pound with upgraded sides and a variety of sandwiches and burgers. I ordered the "Boy Named Sue" burger and the Missus had the club house (it had a clever name, but I cannot recall it). While waiting for the meal, we visited with the general manager - my Missus plans her companies events, so she inquired about private bookings which are possible. The Social Beer Haus website provides info on a number of "floor plans" and menu options for private parties. The food arrived and it looked amazing! Hot and fresh - presented on what seems to be a smokehouse standard baking sheet covered in butcher paper - fine dining this place is not. The fried jalapeno, gives you a little "bitch slap" with every bite which would make the Man in Black proud. I added an ice cold pint of PBR to top off the meal. I stole a couple bites of the Missus' club sando and it was delish - especially the bacon. All in all, the food was tasty and the portioning was filling. The Missus and I were boring in choosing the standard fries for sides, but there were upgrades like mac and cheese etc for an additional charge. Some of the other reviewers were disappointed in that they were expecting Haus in the name of the establishment. I saw "Social" and Beer" and didn't even notice Haus. You could get a smoked link - that is close to bratwurst I suppose. All in, it sounds like this place is busy during the evenings. It is worth checking out!

I substituted ribs for chicken and it was a up charge of 5 bucks!
