Notes: We
were reasonably pleased with our first visit, parking is easy on the
weekend because the municipal garages are free, but getting a table
can be a little trickier. They had decent food and sufficient
vegetarian options, the bathroom was a little dirty. Elmes'
Mild Manner ESB was my favorite of their brews, the Oatmeal Stout was
my least favorite, too sweet..
We
came here a few times before having any bad experiences, but after
the last time, I don't think we'll be back. We came with a
large group and spent quite a bit of money to be treated like crap.
We were still eating when it was decided we needed to leave
because it was saturday night and time to turn the restaurant into a
bar and remove all of the tables, so a beefy bouncer came over and
started moving the table from under us and removing chairs.
While there was still food on our plates. I don't think
the waiter had even brought the check yet. George had the metal
footing of the table jammed into his foot, and when he yelped out in
pain, the bouncer began treating him like a belligerant drunk and
threatening to forcibly remove him from the bar. We were not
drunk. This was the worst bar/restaurant/brewpub experience I
have ever had. George sent an email to the owner and never
received a response. The beer was decent but not good enough to
bring us back after a night like that.
12 Jan 2013 Edit while migrating: To be 100% fair, the bouncer was a jerk, but George is a belligerent ass sober.
