Overall great atmosphere and the staff was kind and helpful. They went out of their way to check if the red wine they had was vegan. It wasn't, but they recommended a white wine and let me try it before purchasing. The vegan corn ribs were meh and the vegan burger wasn't amazing, but it was decent. The sweet potato fries weren't the best. I felt a little stomach ache after eating so not sure how great they are with cross contamination if you have allergies. I wasn't sick, but felt a tad off. Food wasn't my favorite but the vibe of the place was great and staff was great. I love that they have pool, darts and other games and a photo booth. Dim lighting and TVs showing sports. Great for a bar atmosphere, hang out with friends. I probably won't be back for food specifically, but I would come with friends to have some drinks. They had good music playing. Mostly rock, alternative rock and pop punk so that's a plus.
Top-tier vibe on Temple Row. We spent a couple of hours playing shuffleboard and enjoying the music. It’s got a really unique aesthetic with neon signs and train-style booths. It’s much more than just a pub it’s a great social space. Perfect for a birthday or a night out with mates. Will definitely be back
Only popped in for a quick Beer, but liked the look of the place. Staff were friendly enough, drink selection was decent.
