Gift Tips
- Try the Monday oyster special if you want a low-key way to start the meal with something fresh and briny.
- Order the burgers or fried chicken sandwich for a solid main that pairs well with the pub-style setting.
- Save room for the fries, which come up as a standout side with several entrees.
- If you like seafood, the fish and chips and mussels are strong picks for a relaxed dinner.
- Check out the cocktail list, especially house drinks like the Snapdragon, for a drink with more personality than a standard bar pour.
