About:Downtown's only authentic British-style pub serves up pub grub and a variety of draft beers. Located in a restored former brothel, the place has gone through some serious re-vamps over the years. The decor has changed from lurid to proper Brit with memorabilia from the British Isles covering the walls. The pub has no television and counts on the witty banter of customers to supply the entertainment. It works. This small, friendly neighborhood joint attracts locals from all walks of life. It is perfect for winding down.

    The food was all right if a bit small on the portions. The service left something to be desired, but I would probably come here again nonetheless.

    Great place to socialize, talk story and quaff a brew or two.
    If you're looking for a sports bar, this ain't the place (no tv).
    You have to converse here! I like it.
    Good pub menu with curry, fish and chips and the like.
    Southbay motor scooterists show up on Tuesday nites.

    great local English pub -- veggie friendly: My kind of place. Lots of good British ales on draft and a nice little kitchen too.

    fish & chips, falaffel, and all the other British things you expect.

    also has wifi for free -- I'm writing this review in the window, driinking an English Pale Ale right now.
