    First time here and will be back. Celebrated a birthday and sat in the "Vault" room which was away from bar area. Food was great and large selection of beer. Prices very reasonable. Very casual.

    Best Pub in town. The managers are very friendly, the only problem is they are ManU fans ;)

    Steve and I thought we'd visit one last time before they close forever on December 31st. Big loss for our town of a fan favorite.

    Don't bother with the "Irish" dip sandwich, the bread is greasy and falls apart when "dipped".

    This place stays open because there are very few choices in town. I suggest you try another town.
