    We had a very pleasant evening there playing darts and trivia, drinking and eating the shepherds pie, which was very good. It's a cozy place so don't go when it's crowded. It was a Thursday night so I recommend trying it on Thursdays. The bartender was very friendly.

    One of the best bars in San Jose, this place actually feels like a neighborhood British pub, unlike other WE ARE BRITISH bars in the Bay Area. They've got a couple ales on cask, they've got bitters, they've got basic lagers and ciders. They've got a fireplace in the back if you want to warm up in the winter. They play punk music and some reggae. They have a quiz night if you're one of the folks who's into that. Bartenders are great, chill to talk to but ignore you if you want to be ignored. The food is good, if it was a restaurant I'd probably be giving four stars. English breakfast is nice, bangers are solid, fish and chips are pretty good for the Bay Area though if you're from Manchester they'll probably be just enough to make you miss home and be mad about it. Drag a friend out on light rail, have a cask ale, have some dinner. Listen to the Pogues. Have another ale. Listen to the neighborhood folks laugh and chat. It's amazing this place is so close to downtown.

    The curry is delicious and the ambiance cozy and comfortable. Reminds me of the Queen Inn Pub in Winchester, England, compete with the real fireplace!
