Customer Reviews

"Good hot pub food, great selection of beers, and really reasonable prices. Smoking is allowed inside, but it wasn't bad for us non smokers- there's good ventilation. The bar and inner restaurant has awesome character. Warm, charming place!"

- Amanda O.

"Very cool chill place. I had the immigrant, Rueben, and it was really good. The bartender/server was great. I will be back!"

- J M.

"Great from start to finish! The bartender that greeted me was pleasant, warm of night in professional. My server, Caleb, was friendly , prompt, attentive, but not overbearing. The black bean burger was tasty and filling."

- Tracy P.

"This is a great little place to just grab a beer, a bite to eat, and hang. It's gritty and scruffy in every good sense. They do allow smoking so if that bothers you, don't go here. When we went there was only one person smoking on the other end of the place so it didn't really bother us. We got a couple of local drafts, which were very good. We ordered a beer cheese soup. It was served with a plastic spoon so I didn't have high hopes but it was actually delicious! It tasted homemade and was bursting with flavor. We split an order of fish and chips. This was not homemade but it was served piping hot and it was the perfect pairing for our beers. Service was good. If you need a nightcap and a small bite with friends, this is a good place!"

"During a recent walk in downtown Chattanooga, my husband and I stopped in this pub for lunch. We were just walking aimlessly and landed here. We were politely greeted upon entrance and found a booth for us to sit in. Our waiter came in and checked our ID and once it was confirmed that we are over 21, we were good to go. I ordered a chicken salad that I don't remember the name but now that I am back home, I wish I had it here. It was so good. My husband ordered fish and chips and really enjoyed it. The restaurant is a tad smoky but it's a pub so what would you expect. Overall, we had a great lunch and would definitely come back."

- Ashleigh

"My wife and I love a good pub. This place hits the nail on the head. Staff is super cool and on it. Fish and chips are good. The Ruben spring rolls are great. I am personally a Guinness fan and the pint was top notch. Wasn't very busy for a Sunday but when we come back to Chattanooga we will definitely stop back in."

- Collin A.

"First time at this restaurant and I'm so glad we went. We ate dinner and had drinks upstairs. Server, Manny was super nice and kept checking to see if we needed anything. Definitely recommend the Sunday Roast, fried cheese & Bungalow Pie. Also recommend the draft beer WanderLinger Blackbeary Hug. It's locally brewed and very tasty and I am not normally a beer lover. I will definitely be back next time I'm in area."
