I attended the final World Cup watch party outside in the pitch. I asked the guy working the tent…read morewith the coolers which flavors of Fruit Smash they had because I wanted to choose one I would actually enjoy. The guy working immediately came across as irritated. He told me they had just dumped the cans into the cooler and didn't know what flavors were in there. He then glanced over at the cooler, looked back at me, and essentially said, "Yeah, sorry, I can't tell you," without opening it or checking. I also work in hospitality, so I understand that customers ask questions that can feel repetitive or inconvenient. I'm often on the other side of the bar, and I know it can be busy. At the same time, I also understand the customer's perspective. If there are multiple flavors of a drink, it's reasonable just to want to know what's available before ordering. Most people would rather choose something they know they'll enjoy than pay for something they don't like. Instead of taking a few seconds to check, I felt like my question was treated as an inconvenience. I left feeling unwelcome, honestly a little rejected, and even embarrassed for asking what I thought was a reasonable question. I ended up ordering a beer instead, and left shortly after finishing it. My friend and I went to Green Man and had a much friendlier experience. I hope this was just an off day, but I also hope staff will take a moment to help customers with basic questions in the future. Small interactions like these can make a big difference in how welcome someone feels.

The menu is concise but varied and we were surprised at the vegan/vegetarian/gluten free noted choices We tried the huge crispy onion rings, the soup of the week, the fish and chips and the ploughman's lunch. I would recommend all of them and especially when washed down with a Guinness. Ask for the special sauces to dip your chips - curry and a great tartar sauce. The kitchen seems to enjoy fixing interesting takes on traditional dishes also so trust them and see how it goes. You'll be happy.

An authentic British pub that definitely feels like a go-to spot for a lot of the locals. You'll…read moreavoid a lot of the tourist traffic here with its unique vibe, and you'll come away with a memory of "that cute British pub" when it's all over. NOTES: -This place is run on bare bones staff. I'd guess maybe two cooks and the single server. It is not a place to come if you need quick service or quick food. They're very friendly (even if you're not a local!), but definitely come when you have a lot of extra time. -This place is not accessible in the slightest. You'll need to go up two flights of very steep stairs to make it to the front door. The stairs are on the old side, and I was concerned about one breaking. There is no elevator. -The parking lot is relatively small and shared with a nearby Urgent Care. It's gravel and grass, and people mostly made their "own" spot where they wanted. As this made for a haphazard parking lot with small margins for cars, I wouldn't let a newer driver park here. PROS: -Lots of unique British dishes. We've never seen somewhere serving Bubbles and Squeak and lots of other dishes. If you're not familiar with niche British dishes, you'll probably have to pull out your cell phone to figure out what some of this stuff is - and that's really fun. -Food is really good. It tastes like food-your-mom-would-make instead of gourmet takes on these dishes. It has a really authentic, small business vibe to it. -Unique beers on tap too. You aren't going to find Bud Light or Miller Lite on tap here. All of their beers are unique pub fare. They do offer some of the American favorites in a can/bottle, but this is a great excuse to try beers you wouldn't normally have access too. -Despite the older age of the building, the bathrooms are very modern and very clean. Most gas station bathrooms are in worse shape than the ones here. CONS: -It's definitely a small, "small margins" business, and all of the cons that go along with that. Food took awhile, upcharge for using a credit card, non-focal dishes may have been frozen/reheated/canned, and parking was difficult. That all being said, we're looking to come back again, and the atmosphere (and the taste of their unique star dishes) make it one of those places you'll actually talk about when you're done with your trip instead of forgetting that morning you simply went to Denny's to scarf down pancakes.

THis one has a story behind it. Got invited to a drum circle in Gatrlinburg by my girlfriend's son…read more We went out that morning to see Cades Cover (big mistake - it was Memorial Day) and swung back around through Townsend (stopped at Mountain Man to have a craft brew on the way). Knowing we were going up to the arts district, I looked for a place to meet them before the circle and saw there was a Celtic Pub. Only that was the spot where the drum circle was. And, to my surprise, it is the same owner as the Fox & Parrot Tavern in Gatlinburg, one of my favorite English pubs (and currently closed do to a feud with the US government - hope that gets fixed). The place is definitely British country feeling. Very nice tap list, including both local brews and standard UK brews. Heavy wood feeling with a very nice deck outside, which includes some spots under cover (which was important as it rained on the circle and people had to duck in). There is nothing elegant about the place or the food. But that is its charm. The fish & chips were on point, esp. with the malt vinegar. Shepherd's Pie a bit salty for my tastes, but not to the salt lick level. Also came with chips. As for the drum circle, if you are reading this in June 2026, that is every Monday at 6-8 PM through the end of the month. I got some great drone footage of the circle, which I added to this review.

I would never come here if I was in a hurry, but if you have 2+ hours to eat and want good food in a storied place with staff who will treat you like friends, you're going to love the Rampant Lion. NOTES: -In rural TN, it should not surprise you, but be aware that they have Trump displays in the restaurant. -The restrooms are single stall and accessed from outdoor. They're indoor restrooms - just the door to access them is on the outside. (No porta potties) They're solidly clean - just make sure to pack clothing that works for the temperature outside because you might be dipping outside a few times. -Parking lot is small and gravel. Relatively easy to get in and out of though. -Amazing gin selection with staff that *clearly* knows their gins. -Adorable photos of the owners on slideshow of their trip to Europe on the wall. It's adorably and clearly a couple who was on a good vacation. We've had a good chunk of their menu at this point. Pretzels: Delicious beer chese AND delicious pretzels. Quite a bit of food with this too. Bread, Oil, & Vinegar: Wasn't super fond of this one. A ton of oil in a bowl made it hard to get the right oil-to-vinegar ratio. Chicken Pie: Deliciously breaded with super-tasty french fries too. Served piping hot, so it took a bit to be able to eat it without burning myself but a wait well-made. Reuben: Partner absolutely loved it and said the bread was the absolute perfect consistency. SO much meat in there too (though he said it could use a bit of extra dressing). Bubbles and Squeak: Delicious. Just delicious. Zero notes, you should eat it. Beanie Weenies: Home-made right in the restaurant! My favorite thing on the menu. Super savory, semi-healthy (beans...at least?), and served super warm. Comfort food at its finest. Menu in-restaurant was different than online one on a few things.

Was there today, not for the first time, to watch the World Cup Final. It was busy and service was…read moreas you would expect on such a busy time. My review is in relation to what I witnessed while there. Firstly there was a manager on duty there who had a bottle of beer in his hand the entire time we were there, but the worst of it was that I saw a customer who had an obvious disability stand beside the reception desk for a considerable length of time and was ignored by the receptionist, who I saw show people who were behind him to a table and totally ignore him, like he was invisible. That was bad enough but then the "manager" with beer in hand was standing beside him and did the same thing. It turned out he only wanted a milkshake which was finally served to him by a passing waitress. This is unacceptable behavior. I understand it was busy but this happened just after the game was over and people were leaving. You need to do better.

Hard boiled eggs wrapped in flavorful sausage that are baked and then served chilled. The dressing and dipping sauce went perfectly with the dish. Really a fun spot all around with great service, fun and hip atmosphere whether it's St. Patrick's Day or not. We'll be back!

You can see in the picture that they have standing options for times when you simply want to stand and catch up with friends. Yet, you also have patio seating for eating outside on nice days. Sadly, it was too hot to enjoy doing anything outside. Luckily, the inside was just as nicely decorated. You can see in the picture the cozy bar seating in the center of the space. They have a variety of small and large tables for different parties. The waitress was friendly and quickly served us drinks. She also answered our questions. My friend, who recommended this place, ordered the fish and chips as that is always his go-to. He received a nice size piece of fish and thick cut chips (fries). My other friend ordered the shepherd's pie. As you can see, the presentation was great. He said the mash potatoes were good, yet the gravy was bland. I ordered the ostrich meatloaf with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables because where else can you get ostrich meatloaf?! I enjoyed the meatloaf as it had a unique spiced taste that I assume was the ostrich. It was slightly heartier than turkey meatloaf but lighter than typically beef meatloaf. Similar to my friend who ordered the shepherd's pie, the gravy topping was the weak link. While it was different from the shepherd's pie, it still lacked true flavor. I would recommend it if you want a unique dish in an Irish pub, yet I'd ask the waitress to hold the gravy.
