This Welsh pub definitely has that old charm. It's interesting how it all used to be a bank back in the day!
We sat down on a slow Monday Afternoon and I don't know why this place really deserves bad reviews. Perhaps dinner rush and more than 4 people per table can make people get anxious and turn their heads, but what I got, service and all, was phenomenal.
Pub chips didn't crack my teeth and were crisp with a soft, satisfying crunch. It was served with a lovely pepper cheese that was melty and addicting.
Fish and Chips were flaky, moist, and the tartar sauce can be a bit on the mustardy side, but, it was well worth it. The thick cut fries, too, were crisp and seasoned to perfection, not burnt at all.
The Shepherd's Pie, however, was the star of the show. Savory Mushroom sherry gravy tops this heavy monstrosity with buttery mashed potatoes and a nicely seasoned tomato ground beef mixture. Super comforting.
The only thing that I didn't really like was the condiments on the table were sticky and felt extremely dirty. The seats too had a bit of a stick, which could be from the humidity, but, definitely, cleanliness needs to be looked at more. It's best if you visit on a slow weekday or happy hour. Delicious.

The patio is cold at night. It's cooler than it on the street. That was the low atmosphere rating. They let me sit quietly in a corner and didn't rush me out. Good music later on and lots of laughter.
Bathrooms were clean.
Abby was a great server, lots of communication.
Salted Caramel Cheesecake was fantastic. Not sure if the whip cream was fresh but it tasted like it. My Stella tasted fresh like the taps were clean!
I'll be back!

Love this pub. Great service. Atmosphere is excellent and offers indoor and patio seating. Food was delish and lots of options! I had the fish and crisps, and love their homemade tartar sauce. Not pictured my husband had a grilled cheese with bacon and love it!

Ordered the pub pickles. There was half a salad underneath to make it look bigger. Ended up getting about 14 pickle slices for $11.
Had ordered the same thing last week and there wasn't any lettuce and way more pickles.
The waitress was very nice.

Great, rustic atmosphere (it was originally a bank, apparently) that includes an interesting outdoor area. Jack went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and taken care of. We would definitely return.
