J Brian's Tap Room

Not a bad little pub. I had the Reuben and it was good as far as Reuben go. The crab bisque was not very good as the roux was burned. Probably just caught them on a bad day. The atmosphere was pretty cool though but no Penny Lane Pub. Our gorgeous waitress, Taylor, was awesome! It is worth the visit just to get her as your waitress.

They're batting .667. The beer was cold and the taproom was worth the visit - what's the word, the ambiance was amazing. The strike was the server who seated us outside and never came back to take our order (10+ minutes). We went inside and she questioned why we were bellying up to the bars. All the time she was leaning up against the bar BSing with another worker.

Service was great. We were there early for a show, so it got crowded outside quicky but the service didn't falter. My only complaint would be my burger arrived medium well instead of medium rare. Luckily it wasn't dry (and I was very hungry) so it was still delicious. The onion flowers were so good I deemed them evil to my thighs.

2 instead of 1 stars because of our nice waitress. Not sure if it’s because we ordered at 8:30pm on a Friday but my Reuben came with only a few scraggly bits of mostly fatty bits of corned beef and few pieces I literally could not chew, I don’t want to assume but easy to tell it felt 100% microwaved way too long.. it was too tough to even cut I had to demonstrate to the waitress when asking for a new one .. the kitchen didn’t make a new one only brought me out some more sad corned beef to add but it was just a really sad sandwich at that point and is a shame when we go out to enjoy some classic Irish grub and get served something like that. Fish and chips that my wife got were cooked nice but after 3 times asking for lemon we still couldn’t get a piece of lemon with any juice in it, literally only the pith left on it. Kitchen definitely wasn’t paying any attention or care to the details of the meal and only wanted to get it out fast before closing the kitchen.. not acceptable when we are paying the same prices, not as if it’s discounted for us just because you want to close the kitchen… for drinks go ahead but I don’t recommend eating here on a Friday night.

Went here for lunch with the family...the food was good, but the service was a bit slow on the back porch. They were also out of the beer my Father-in-law ordered, and the server forgot to bring out my wife's meal until we mentioned it. It was still a pretty nice lunch. Just don't go here if you are in a hurry.

I came here on a first date in the middle of a snowstorm...and had a fantastic time! The food was really tasty (I got a BBQ chicken pizza), there were a wide range of draft options and drink specials, and they have Trivial Pursuit cards on the table which made for a good ice breaker. I plan to come back again soon :)
