Good food - everything we had on the menu met expectations. But the service was pretty bad: slow, forgetting things, far too long to return with drinks after placing an order, mains arrived before starters, one main was missing altogether. Overall it was an experience that I wouldn't want to repeat.

This used to be our fav spot! Not anymore, expect to spend lots of money there for mediocre food and drinks. Everything is over priced.

If you are open, you need to be open. Pay attention to your customers. Best of luck figuring it out. I think I will stick with Almaden. Cheers!

Terrible service. Messed up every single order. Blamed us for them bringing the wrong beer after they lost our ticket. Rude wait staff. Top 3 worst service I have ever received.

Great place to grab a beer before heading to downtown events.

The food here was delicious. I really enjoyed everything I ordered. The nachos were exceptionally delicious and the cauliflower fritters were also great. I didn't have anything to drink because it was the middle of the day but the cocktail menu looked interesting. It was kind of empty in the middle of the day for lunch. It seemed like the people who were there didn't have my reservation about midday drinking and were there to relax and not have a quick lunch. So I thought it would be a fun place if you were looking to hang out. Our service was fine - though I did think he hadn't put in part of our order since I asked where it was and he said "oh a few minutes" and then it came out.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Highly allergic to ginger, so ordered a cocktail without the ginger. Drink still contained ginger so I kindly requested a fresh drink and they refused to give me one, causing a reaction on my end. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR

I wouldn't normally review bars or pubs, but I wanted to bring attention to two food/drink items. BAVARIAN PRETZEL: I know it's a pretzel, but it's a really memorable one. I haven't had that many pretzels to compare, but my party and I thought it was one of the best we've had that we ordered a second one before we finished the first! It's not overly salted and it stayed soft even after we took our sweet time eating it. It comes with a side of their white cheddar sauce and honey mustard. Both were good in their own ways, but the cheese sauce was the winner for us. BRIT NACHOS: They come in a half order or full size. The half order is served on what looked like a 1/8 baking sheet. You can select from pork, beef, chicken, or no meat. They definitely put a lot of toppings on it, but not an equal portion of chips so we were left with a coagulated layer from the shredded cheese and a few soggy chips under it. If I got this again, I would ask for chips on the side or be prepared to eat the whole thing really quickly. Lol SHOT & A PINT DEAL: They offered a shot and pint of beer for $14! There's a list of several hard liquors and beers you could choose from. Definitely a steal compared to other places in downtown for sure. We really liked their outdoor patio. It's covered above, but open on the side so that there's fresh air all around you. The server came around to check on the other patrons so we were able to catch him whenever we wanted to order. I don't recall the exact number, but there's about half a dozen tvs surrounding the outdoor with different sports on concurrently if you don't want to miss out. All in all, good chill hang out place with decent prices and good pretzels!

We recently planned and executed a wonderful company event at The Brit! The owner Jasbir was so helpful and accommodating, and our group of 100 people had fun with dinner and karaoke (hired separately) on the patio. The bar itself is lovely and the patio had heaters so everyone was comfortable despite the January weather! The servers did a great job keeping on top of the many orders - a big kudos to them! I just want to thank Jasbir for his prompt and polite communications leading up to the enchanted evening and for giving our team an exceptional time! I would definitely encourage groups to book an event at The Brit :-)

Good pub atmosphere. Bangers & mash were spot on; wish they had peas, but no biggie.
