Price Description

This scrubby, unassuming bar—with its well-worn wooden chairs and walls plastered with sporting paraphernalia—is tucked away among the trendy, chic restaurants of Front Street. The after-work crowd flocks here for its good old-fashioned pub grub, such as fish and chips, New York tenderloin and pizza. Those looking for snacky-type nosh choose from mozzarella sticks, cheesy fries, nachos, potato skins and pierogies. A pint (or two) from the list of 15 beers on tap eases workday stress. Mains $8–$19.
