Poplar Street Pub

I passed around ten locations before deciding on Poplar Street Pub. The outside is as inviting as the inside is warm and friendly. The inside was almost entirely empty, save a few patrons at a single table. The service was incredible, bartenders and wait staff alike. The atmosphere was just what you imagine. Some parts more communal, some parts more catered to having a few drinks at the bar by yourself. The pool table appeared to be in great condition and the entire restaurant seemed very clean and appropriately lit to show that but again, appropriately less so in the bar area. Firstly, the portions of the food were insane. Literally the portion sizes of a bygone, pre-covid era. I'm a grown man and left almost a quarter of the burger and some fries. The spicy jalapeño burger was a cheeseburger with an aioli on the side. The burger looked and tasted as if it were pre-formed and frozen but again it was massive. The bun and toppings were very fresh. The aioli was the only thing differentiating this from a cheeseburger and it was mediocre at best with very little flavor. To the fries, I added the garlic option for two dollars and they were fine. It is slightly irksome when restaurants charge an additional fee for a topping then sprinkle it gingerly on the topmost layer. Overall it was fine not great but the ambience, environment and service made up for it.

Great local spot, been coming here for over 10 years whenever I am in town. Not fancy, but service has always been at least good, and most recently top notch and entertaining! Reasonably priced food, love their pizza and local beer selection. The outdoor patio is nice too, but they do allow smoking outside. I don't care for smoking but there was enough of a breeze to make it a non issue. They do have a couple of pool tables too. Overall good bang for the buck, and cool people.

The bar keeps going and going and going seems to never find an end. Many different rooms, different levels made it a little odd. However when we found our spot it was very nice next to an outdoor seating area. Smaller bar area with some good music bartender was very attentive. They have a variety of beers and cocktails. I ordered a pizza which was pretty good the crust wasn't greasy and was light and crispy. Complimented my beer nicely. Lots of TVs to watch favorite sports and if you want to get away from the crowds in this place I'm sure you can find another room easily.

The burgers and fries here are INCREDIBLE. I always get the prosciutto burger! This is such a great local pub, it's definitely my go-to for a laid-back vibe and great pub food with friends. I love playing the pool tables in the back room (so bring your quarters!). It's also a great spot to watch the jazz games! It's a big and long space, with tons of seating, and an outdoor patio too, so you'll almost always be able to find a spot.
