I have only been here to eat, never for a long night of drinking. They have your typical pub food and it is pretty good. The prices are fairly typical and the service is good. The place is nice looking and clean, it is a little dark though. However, they check IDs at the door often, which is unexpected for a pub.

Bills itself as a freehouse, but serves the same ho-hum range of corporate brews as all the big chain "pubs." Assembly-line food is uninspiring, but edible. Another triumph of marketing over substance.
