A popular pub with an American theme
I've now been to this pub quite a few times, if only because it is between my tram stop and the place I go for my weekly Bible Study (which means I have to stop here for a beer), and it is also a regular for my friends to have a meal after church. However, it does not necessarily mean that it is my favourite pub, and unfortunately for the owners, it will not be appearing as one of my 'Pubs of the Month'.
What makes this pub stand out though is their large collection of American Beers, along side a few other craft beers (my favourite is the Taxi Pilsner, probably because it is the cheapest beer that is not Carlton Draft). What really annoys me about this place is the rather eclectic way they bring out the meals. Sometimes the last person to order is the first person to receive their meal, and on a couple of occasions they have have even forgotten to bring a meal out. However the meals are relative inexpensive, though I must say that I still don't believe that lasagna should be served with chips.
