4 stars - for the service, otherwise vibes & food were a solid 3.5 stars
My sister and I came here around 5PM on a Thursday and the place was empty apart from a few regulars camped out. The interior of the place is typical sports bar and sports bar levels of unkempt, nothing out of the ordinary. But they have a pretty nice patio seating arrangement (dog friendly) so we got a table outside.
You're meant to order at the bar, but while we were looking at the menu the bartender came up to us and said he'd be happy to take the order at our table since there wasn't any other business. He was prompt and friendly and made an effort to have two youngish women feel comfortable & less out of place, which I appreciate. 4 stars are for you my guy.
The menu had typical British fare but also randomly an entire section for street tacos and burritos. We ended up getting the Fish & Chips Combo, Veggie Pizza, and a cup of the Clam Chowder.
Fish & Chips Combo - 5 stars. Oof. It came out hot, the fries were crispy and perfect, everything seasoned well... we wished we'd gotten two orders after the first bite.
Veggie Pizza - 3.5 stars. Crust was thin and crispy as we like, good sauce to cheese ratio, but for whatever reason the veggies were cut in an absurd manner - mushrooms were diced to smithereens but the onions were MASSIVE. You could expect to just chow down on an onion every other bite.
Clam Chowder - 1 star. Flavor was there, a little heavy on the salt, but the texture was so deeply offensive we barely ate any. It was as though the "soup" (it can't be called a soup, it was entirely solid) had no cream and only cornstarch. Super weird. Can still feel it in my mouth. Don't want to think about it.
Food was a bit hit or miss, but I'd go back for the excellent Fish & Chips and the promise of live music.
1st time coming here and it was a blast. I celebrated my birthday here and everyone was super nice and pleasant! All the Staff and Bartenders were amazingly awesome. It made my birthday memorable. Thank you everyone, You guys Rock!
I had whiskey sour with Jameson (of course), sister had a lemon drop and my friend enjoyed Gin on the rocks. Overall the drinks was wonderful, then we ordered food. I had the fish sandwich with chips (fries), sister pawns and chips (fries) and fish and chips (fries) for my friend. Overall the food and flavor was delicious. The crispy outer layer of the fish and pawns were cooked properly and perfectly; all of the chips were steak fries and the portions was very generous!
They have a pool table for 1$ a game; there is a jukebox you can play some music, 5$ gives you 12 credits. The atmosphere and decor was fun and spacious to follow 6ft requirements.
Overall experience was fun and memorable, thank you Britannia Arms for everything!
Great being back at Britania Arms and listening to live performances again!! We came to see Josh Diamonds perform! The owner, Tommy, was amazing and super sweet! Loved his opening speech reminding everyone we have to be safe and wear masks when indoors at the bar and walking around. We could take them off at our tables. Great food, too! Loved the Fish and Chips! Tommy and Pedro (bar tender) were also super accommodating. My sister surprised us and brought an ice cream cake because we were also celebrating our mom's 67th birthday! I asked Pedro if they happened to have paper plates, plasticwear, napkins and a knife to cut and serve our huge party of 20+ people. He didn't hesitate to help!! We were very appreciative of their excellent service! Such nice people! Can't wait to return! Thank you, Tommy and Pedro, for making our night such a memorable one. 🥳🥰😷
