Excellent service , great food and reasonable beer selection . It's more up market than traditional pub grub , but very tasty. We loved the shepherds pie , apple berry crumble, and cheesecake .

Jen Schwartz

I've been going for years and love their food, but this time I took my boyfriend and he ordered a lamb burger ... And it was amazeballs!!!! And the fried pickles were amazing! The sauce made it!

Felicia

Do the Yorkshire pudding ! Seriously, just do it! (And then top of your meal with a good scotch and the bread pudding .)

Jacob Herrmann

Really good service , really good Cajun chicken Ceaser wrap ! The sweet green tea was also very good

Daniel Tantalean

Bangers and Mash all the way! It was just some good ole home cookin ' with some great local beers from Loose Canon and DC Brau . Like the vibe, really enjoyed the food and beer .

Chris R (thechristophe)

As British pubs outside Britain go, this one is pretty decent. London Pride on tap ! Some British classics on the menu and they at least do a vegetarian burger . Food served suspiciously quickly though.

Samantha Smith

Strongbow cider is awesome and on tap . The spinach dip and onion rings are great and filling snacks . The calamari is kind of chewy though.

Andrea Newland

Love this place! Pub Pretzels , wings , Shephard's Pie are my favorite. I could leave the Chicken Pot Pie though, tastes like what you get in the forzen section at the grocery store .

Mary Kate Keappler

Got the pretzels and cider on tap ! Sat on the patio and did some homework with the free wifi .

Ryan Harding

Fantastic pub to grab a beer and a tasty meal!

Carmen Yépiz

Fish and chips were good and tasty, good price. The chocolate brownie with ice cream on top was Amazing!

Jeff Wilson

This is a great place to have a drink (and some good food) either before or after a show (it's very close to the Warner Theater ).

Joann Hyden

The tomato and bacon soup was delicious! Our aon loved the wings .

It's as authentic of a British pub as you can get in DC. They televise Wimbledon, although they don't open early for it.

Nice place and very polite staff . Food is delicious and wide selection to choose from.

Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding is yummy!They make a pretty decent Bloody Mary for Brunch too!

Sean Maccarone-Reed

But commercial for me. I hear it used to be a TGIFridays. Met up some friends here and the atmosphere made up for it.

Jim Ward

Close to the Mall , and far better food than you will find in the Mall . I recommend the Shepherds' Pie with Fuller 's London Porter .
