I love this place and frequent it...often. I believe this is the only pub in Portland with Strongbow cider on tap and it's wonderful stuff, just watch yourself if you are not used to it. The drink list is impressive. The food is great too, the soups are hot and hearty (the beef borscht was really good yesterday afternoon) and soak up the alcohol. They serve the soup with local bread and it's really good. The service is always prompt and friendly. It's just like the pubs in the U.K. If you can't handle cigarette smoke and live pub musicians playing, then sit outside or don't come, but for goodness sake do not complain. Nearly every place in Portland is smoke free, so go somewhere else and shut up about the smoke.
Pros: Strongbow Cider on tap, excellent food and service
Cons: it gets loud when the musicians play, sit outside if you don't like smoky pubs
