It's in the basement so it's dark. You can't sit at the bar although there's plenty of room. Standard pub fare. Nothing exceptional.

Went there for a quick warm snack last night. The food was good and affordable and the service was great. Highly reccomended and would visit again

Most disgusting food ever, I'd set 0 stars if I could. The quality of food is 0/10 for a restaurant level. And 2/10 for Tavern Level. Look at pictures. I can't...
