“ We celebrated a coworker who is leaving and this place fit the mood. The location was great, drink and appetizers were delicious. Overall a good vibe! Highly recommend ”
“ Servers we're very kind and helpful. I ordered hot tea and chicken n' dumplings . Everything was hot, fresh, delicious and so flavorful . While we were waiting, we looked around the room. there's a wonderful Norman Rockwell picture behind the bar (Norman Rockwell's oldest and largest mural, which was commissioned in the mid-1930's!), and photos of earlier times around the pub. There's also a wall of famous alumni ( photos) and some autographs. It really was a delightful experience to guess who some of these young faces belong to ! In some cases, you might not be able to guess who the person is but you were very familiar with the company ! CEO of Avon, President/CEO of EBay, a couple of SCOTUS.... And so much more! No room for dessert. I had a nice time. ”
“ We came here because it's supposed to be somewhat historic.. it was cute but felt sort of like a standard pub? The beers were good, I liked the wooden interior and the fireplace too. It was hard to get the attention of the bartender even though it wasn't that busy but once we did we were able to get our beers quickly and grabbed a seat! Overall the tap room was cute and I thought it was worth the trip! ”
“ We were staying at the Nassau Inn, so figured, why not! Located just beyond the front desk, it feels like your back in the 1800s. Dark wood, high back booths and no windows. Though it has mixed reviews, we found it for what it was...a very casual pub. Decent libation list and good assortment of pub food. Didn't have a reservation, but were seated right away...the place was packed, as the men's team had a game that night. Server was right there for our drink order, returned promptly with our drinks and food order. Food came up in a short amount of time, didn't matter as we were lost in conversation. Went with the Nassau burger a mix of short rib, brisket and chuck with cheddar (other choices as well), lettuce, tomato and red onion on a brioche bun cooked medium rare. Also ordered the sweet potato fries. A really decent burger, cooked to my liking. Fries came out hot and crisp. Sorry, no picks...dug in too quickly!!! A fun place for a quick meal and a pint in the middle of Palmer Square. ”
