This new PD’s is making for a good local option for my wife & I, though sadly we’re often guilty of not thinking of it until we’ve already made another, ill-advised choice.

Plenty of taps, good food (particularly the fries, which I think are outstanding), good staff.

After more-than-a-few visits here for brunch or lunch or dinner or just drinks, we spoke to them about using their back room for a brunch the day after our wedding. Mickey worked with us, making us a custom menu and giving our group free reign over the back room. In the end, we had more guests than we’d anticipated, and they were a bit overrun by us, but the staff performed admirably and happily, shuttling back & forth with coffee (so much coffee; the wedding was a bit of a boozefest) and juice and alcohol-type drinks (though I honestly don’t know who the hell could have taken much more of it that day), and, of course, tons of food. The portions are huge, and everybody made sure to tell us just how good their meals had been.

Check out this PD’s branch if you’re in the neighborhood, grab a pint, maybe a burger. And if you’re looking for a place for an easy private party, give them a call.

Although I have yet to see the bar packed, I like the size of the crowd so far. I’ve passed the time where wall to wall crowds are a fun thing so, this may be your cup of tea too.

I love a bar where the bartender remembers your face, and greets you in the manner that they are happy to see you again. Being new to the neighborhood, that’s a big plus.

Great staff, great beers on tap and really good pub food and I don’t have to drive home
