Most Disliked
Some diners mention the limited seating available during peak hours, which may lead to longer waits especially on busy nights, like Mondays at 8 PM.
A few customers feel that the informal vibe, while cozy, might not suit every occasion, particularly for those looking for a more upscale dining experience. If ambiance is a priority, choosing less crowded hours might enhance the experience.
Additionally, while the menu offers great variety, some patrons wish for more vegetarian options on the menu to cater to different dietary preferences.

Been only here plenty of times and finally tried it. Pizza was delicious, wings were tasty (Wasn’t sure on the sauce so I asked for it on the side), shrimp Alfredo and Cannoli was great too. Service was great! We will definitely be back for all of that and to try more. Price was decent in comparison to other local joints.

The restaurant is small and has an informal vibe. The wait staff was attentive and the service was fairly quick. The three-topping pizza that I had was quite good; I especially liked the cheese. A variety of drink options are offered. The Pub is in a great location, right in the center of the city. Lots of shopping on Front Street, and the city park on Cane River Lake, right across the street, is a scenic place for walking.
