    Best cider ever!

    Cool place to watch a game. Great prices! All the bartenders are cool and the service is always great. Dog friendly! Different events happening every night so there's always something to do.

    This bar is somewhere you want to go! Rian had an intrepid attitude no matter what drink idea I came up with (he is a connoisseur). The atmosphere of this bar is welcoming and the service is excellent.

    This is a really big pub in a busy area in the city, right off the Fullerton redline stop. The bar itself is nice, and has the feel of an old fashioned pub. The drinks are good. Good job to our bartender who was super pleasant and realized she made a mistake with our drink and fixed it right away. Great customer service. They don't have food, but they have a kiosk you can order food from - similar to doing grubhub or Uber eats - but it's limited to one restaurant. The food arrived fast and hot. The food was ehhhhh and it was super greasy. My chicken strips were hard to eat. Not the bar's fault and I definitely appreciate the innovation and trying to give options to the customers. The bar is definitely a hang out and was a little loud - they have lots of televisions to watch sports, a pool table, and music. I would definitely go back again.

    Our doggy is very happy they are dog friendly!

    The Arrogant Frog says they are dog friendly, and man, do they mean it! My friend and I were looking for a good spot halfway between our homes that was both dog friendly and had booze. This was the closest thing we could find, and we thought we'd take a chance! Upon arriving, I went inside to check with the bartender that they are indeed dog friendly as some bars say they are but really are not (went to a bar in Edgewater like this). The bartender was super friendly and welcoming ,(I should have caught her name to brag on her; she's the one with curly brown hair and glasses) and told us could bring in our pups. Not only can you bring in your pups, but you can use a hashtag and tag them on Instagram and get a free "dog shot" (spoiler: it's a shot for humans). This alone deserves 5 stars in my eyes. The service was great, the prices are reasonable, and they have a nice deal worked out with Knife and Tine (with reasonable prices) to deliver food. We got the guac and chips and the corn fritters. The chips served with the guac got a little soggy. They were still delicious. If you're pretty picky, I'd recommend eating food elsewhere before. I would not mind trying more of the Knife and Tine food though. It all sounded pretty tasty. Bonus: they had a sour beer. I find this is becoming more common to find, but I always want to give props to bars that have them. We'll definitely be coming back. If anyone else wants to do a doggo meet up here, feel free to message me.

    Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!

    We finally tried Pleasant House Pub after driving by and reading about it so many times. Another…read moreMichelin Bib Gourmand with only one dollar sign, so of course we had to see what the hype was about. We ordered the Steak & Ale Pie (crowned with mash and gravy) and the Chicken Balti Pie. Both were delicious, but I think crowning the steak pie was definitely the right call. The chicken balti actually reminded me of the Taiwanese curry pastries (咖喱角) I grew up eating, which was a fun surprise. Very flavorful, and although the pies look kind of small at first glance, they are surprisingly filling. We also ordered the pickled egg -- basically a hard boiled egg with vinegar flavor. Tasty, though probably the most "normal" item we had. One unexpected highlight was the staff. Apparently many of the servers are freelance musicians, and they'll break out a guitar and ukulele song if someone is celebrating a special occasion. Very chill, friendly neighborhood vibe overall.

I had been wanting to try Industry Ales when it opened and was glad to have had the opportunity to finally check it out! I was slightly thrown off, as the dining tables are at the front of this space, and the bar is all the way at the back. In fact, my friend at first glance thought it was a sit-down dining establishment sans bar seating. We found our way to the bar and posted up at two seats. We were offered menus right away and found the bartender extremely knowledgeable. This was super helpful when facing down an encyclopedia of ales. He offered samples when we explained what we were looking for. That is service above and beyond, especially on a bustling Friday early evening. The brews were tasty, but I couldn't really discern what I was drinking apart to say it was a lighter Belgian Ale. Wine is more in my wheelhouse, but always good to change things up, especially when a person has the opportunity to be guided by an expert. The people seated nearby had ordered the tuna tartare which looked delicious. In fact, all of the menu is globally influenced (think: pizza samosas, pierogis, Korean BBQ) in addition to the classic brewpub favorites. In addition to the Brewpub, this location features the Millroom, a speakeasy-style lounge. I did not have a chance to check that out on this visit. Definitely a cut above the usual sports bar and a place to expand one's knowledge of brews.

Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26
