This pub, awful name aside, is so wrought with problems it'll be a surprise if it stays open much longer under present management. The staff is inattentive and rude. The owner, who seems to treat the place like his own personal liquor cabinet, is the perfect example of a cranky old man. I once noted him scolding a customer playing pool (at the single pool table) for turning on the light above the table. In fact, the guy seems unnaturally preoccupied with the lighting. As far as atmosphere, I've been to VFW basements with more personality. The place is literally steel warehouse with part of it made into a bar. And there are hay bales stacked out front in some kind of "display" Inside, the tables are scattered in an odd arrangement, with some kind of "dance floor" area in the middle. In fact, the "dance floor" is so important to the old man, that one time he demanded that we move so as to not block the "dance floor" where no one was dancing. The only saving grace of this place would be the food, except you can never get a server to take care of you, and by the time you finally do, you might end up with the food cooked correctly, or you might not. The burgers, which have been mentioned in other reviews, are good, but I can make the same burger at home if I get a pack of dry onion soup and mix it in with the hamburger. And don't bother ordering to temperature, because you'll be getting whatever the cook decides to send out. And it will probably sit under a heat lamp continuing to cook for a good five to ten minutes after it comes off the grill. I've eaten there 4 times, and inconsistent seems to be the only consistency. Bottom line, this place probably couldn't be saved by a change in management, but it wouldn't hurt it any more.
