churchill's

not touristy. great beer and wine selection, greatbritishfood.

awful! visit one of the many other pubs... the waitress was nice but the bartender was an idiot and the manager was useless. most of my table wanted to watch a particular game on the single tv visible, and the bartender wouldn't change the channel for any reason whatsoever. the reason supposedly being one guy at the bar (a bar with many tvs, all with the game we wanted to watch but outside our view) attended the school playing in the game on the one screen in our view. we will call this school northwest central north dakota state a&m. plus it was the satellite campus! you get the picture. no one cares. oh yeah and the food was crap, but allbritishfood is so whatever.

just don't go at night. the reason i say don't go at night is because a lot of people book the place and it becomes a party tavern that is too loud and the staff has little time to serve you. otherwise, the food is not bad...but there are better places to getbritishstyle food in savannah such as macpherson's. hit this place up for lunch if you want the full attention of the staff or hate loud music/parties.

great hangout. awesome fish tacos, and the fish and chips are authentic to thebritishstyle. we love the outdoor seating and the outside bar means that you don't have to wait for your drink. the waitresses here have always been prompt and the food comes out quick. our new hangout again. we missed you churchhill's!

passes the pub test. pretty much as good a facsimile of thebritishpub 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!)

please disregard my review. it was for the six-pence pub & restaurant, not churchill's. mea culpa. mea maxima culpa.

tourist trap. very mediocrebritishfare (which isn't world renowned to begin with).

i had the bangers and mash with collard greens. the "bangers" (sausages) were a disgrace. essentially flavorless and either boiled or baked. yuk. accompanied by light brown tasteless floury sauce that was more like old paste than gravy. double yuk.

the collard greens were almost good - they weren't made by anybody black from the south - but most likely some charlatan wannabe.....

i won't ding them here (that would be unfair - they are what they are) but i sure won't go back there for a meal and suggest you spend your money elsewhere unless you need a brutish vibe fix.

great bartenders, good food, cozy and fun.. they make a passable pim's #1, the bar staff is friendly, the selection is great and the food is not your averagebritishfare... the toad in a hole was quite good, and unusual for pubs in the us.

british fun on bay street. lets first get something clear, churchill's is definitely not an authenticbritishpub...but it is good. more of an american sports bar inbritishclothing, churchill's knows what american diners want and delivers. featuring a very american friendly interpretation ofbritishclassics such as shepherds pie and bangers and mash this place can be a real blast and has a terrific family friendly but cool environment. when visiting be sure to checkout the awesome rooftop bar, weather permitting of course or the game room down in the basement. of note the bangers and mash were excellent as was the toad in the hole. featuring a full service bar with plenty of beers either bottled or on-tap this place is an excellent choice to hang out with friends or family and relax and unwind from a busy day touring the historic district.
