Serving innovative pub cuisine in a warm, relaxed atmosphere with a centrally located stage for live music and a large, square bar to anchor the room. Exposed brick walls, stained oak floors, polished cement floors, stainless steel accents and blackboard menus lend a rustic feel to the space. A state-of-the-art sound and lighting system and clear sight lines to the stage make this one of University City's premier music venues.
Chef Essner has created a tantalizing menu including: Jerk Chicken Nuggets with charred pineapple chutney; Chesapeake Bay Fries with creamy Vermont cheddar, jumbo lump crab meat and green onions; Lobster Pierogies with Yukon gold potato, melted leeks and creamy lobster nage; Chickpea and Fresh Fava Bean Falafel with hummus, tzatziki and a fava bean with cucumber salad; and Grilled Bangers and Mash, wild boar sausages with bacon-studded chourcroute, beer mustard reduction and scallion fork-mashed potatoes. Prices range from $4 to $14.
