    Half n half. Not bad
    Summer D.

    Im remiss as this is by far my fav find here in fort worth. From the first night I came in, the staff were welcoming and delightful. No food here but a nice craft beer selection while holding true to their "pub" roots. They also have full bar. I made the mistake of mentioning the smoke on my first visit and the bar keep from england bellowed how he would be moving back home if they make fort worth smoke free. If you have the pleasure of encountering the barkeep John you will leave with a smile on your face and maybe ringing eardrums lol. His voice carries. Yes yes, I have to take my customary star away for the smoking inside. It can get BAD some nights. They do have a small patio out front. But come on in anyway one time, have a ballast point sculpin for me and tell the bar keeps hello for me and I miss them. Cheers!

    Ohh heaven! Minus the smoke. Ugh!

    Pint nights are my favorites. This place have their pop up version of pint nights. They don't do it often but when they do, expect a great cheery welcome form the bartender/s. They smoke here but when the weather is nice their double doors are open to the outside so it's not that bad. I always like to come in early during pint nights to enjoy my beer and whilethe place isn't busy yet. No elbow to elbow fight to get a beer. Btw, this is y second time here. The first one was a blur and a bit rainy so I didn't get to see and feel the whole Ye Olde Bull and Bush experience. This is a laid back and just kick it place (I just wish they don't smoke). I will definitely come back again for one of their busy nights and of course their pint nights.

    Smells bad, glasses are dirty and way too pricy for a neighborhood hang out. Way small and cluttered. We'll never go back

    This is a great place to go before the club. Good beer and music. Small cuddly place. Very smokey too. Just like in England.

The service is always friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the staff genuinely care about making every visit enjoyable. The drink selection is top-notch, with plenty of great beverages to suit any mood. The food is what keeps us coming back. My wife never misses a chance to order the Irish Tacos, and I've made it my mission to try just about everything on the menu. So far, not a single dish has disappointed. The Sunday specials are always worth the trip, and if you go, do yourself a favor and order The Dubliners. It's one of those dishes that defines comfort food done right. And when the Scotch Egg makes an appearance, don't hesitate, it's a must-try classic. Whether you're stopping in for a pint, a hearty meal, or just some good company, this place never misses a beat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic flavors, great vibes, and consistently excellent service right here in Granbury.

In addition to the food, they offer gluten-free beers and cider. Service was excellent and our server was knowledgeable about food preparation (in terms of allergies). The food is good but I find it extremely rich. The onion rings are fried in a thick batter. The gluten-free gravy tastes amazingly like "regular" gravy. It's really nice to have multiple gluten-free dessert options, even if we rarely have room for dessert. I recommend that you make reservations for holidays when they have specials or if you think it would be busy (ex: St. Patrick's Day). After this visit, I did get extremely sick for about 24 hours after eating here. It might have been the richness of the food not agreeing with me or it might have been something else.

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.
