I'm not old enough for this place yet, but it seemed ok.. So in my search for a bar near home that is some-what decent, I came across this one. I took a trip down there with my brother, hoping to find a european pub atmosphere, but really just found your basic american sports bar/lounge. Its a nice place, clean, friendly service, but we soon found we were the only ones under 40 in the place and there was kareokee going on, which is just about as opposite the experience i was looking for. But while it was not the right place for me, if your looking for an older crowd, like kareeokee, this might be the place for you.

Great customer service!. I have had the honor to visit and patronize this fine establishment over the past 15 years, and only stopped going for a few years while I suffered in Washington State! I was originally invited to visit the pub by a work associate; Dino Cordura, back in 1993 or 1994, when it was run by different management. I was hooked by the British food and ales, and I thoroughly enjoyed the older couple who ran the karaoke machine; Chuck and Shirley Imes. I was a regular on Friday nights until I moved away in 1995. When I returned to Southern California in 1999, the Pub was run by new owners, and all of the regulars seemed to be new, except for the Perry brothers! Chuck and Shirley returned to run karaoke shortly after I moved back, and I became a regular again for many more years! the food has always been great, and the service outstanding! I miss Chuck and Shirley a great deal, as they stopped running Karaoke years ago. I still pop in from time to time, and enjoy the atmosphere. Sammy is one of the nicest bartenders you will ever meet!

Customer Relations and Policy and Food Need Improvement. I realize that this is a pub. However I have eaten in Pubs all over the world and the food in most of them are marvelous. The food here was mediocre. The split pea soup was luke-warm . The fish and chips were just okay, although the fish I had tasted like it might have been frozen or old. They use just plain iceberg lettuce in their very generic salad.. Most important was their servicing staff. We ordered a drink and they brought the wrong one. They took that one back and then brought us a different drink however charged us for the drink we gave back to them. The waitress were extremely rude... Not only that we had spent over $200.00 for food and drinks for a party of six . Five of the group left and my sister joined me, and ordered a drink was half way through with it and we were listening to Karoke. we were told that if we didn't order another drink we had to give up our table. Yet I noticed that people were sitting and stand around nursing drinks. When I challenged on the fact she said it was the owner orders . There customer relations and policy leave a lot to be desired.

great place to relax and have a cold beer. Josh the bartender is prompt on keeping your glass loaded and the beer garden makes this place trully unique. Trully recommend this joint to anyone who wants to have a cold pint.

This place has got atmosphere. Cozy British pub. The decor is very comforting. A place to sit, chill, unwind, and have a few. The crowd can range from quiet couples sitting in booths, energetic college students, after-work happy hour drinkers, or a mix of all of these. It's a place to hang out with friends or to make new ones. Pool table, darts, karaoke night (for you brave souls), and local live music. Reasonably priced. Very friendly place. Homestyle British cuisine.

Aussie Pies. This pub is so great, especially on Sunday nights. They have a band that is out of this world and they invite the patrons up on stage to sing. There are some regulars that, I swear, have record deals out there. As for the food, it doesn't get better than this. Fish and chips, authentic style, mushy peas,Shepards Pie and Aussie Pies galore. Everything is made from scrath from Bob, the owner who is an Aussie. We had a great time and recommend it to everyone. There are pool tables and full bar.
