passes the pub test. pretty much as good a facsimile of the british pub as you can get in the us (and they can be dire!)
friendly, efficient seating and service in a pleasant environment (inside or on the somewhat limited but still very welcome roof terrace). i have tried the fish and chips and found it good, though not stellar (seriously, truly great uk fish and chips can be transcendental). steak pie is great though a pukkah steak and kidney pie would be great, though probably a lousy seller. perhaps it could be an under the counter item! ;) bread pudding is very good, blackberry crumble is divine!
beer is great if a tad over-chilled, but that is nit-picking - these people have to make money in the us market - but certainly the guinness (complete with shamrock in the 'head') is sublime.
in short, drink here, eat here, leave a happier person (and a tip!)
