I have loved this pub for over 10 years now. Low key, dim lighting, sort of medieval feel with front door/dark lighting/European beer selection. It is not quite a dive bar, but not is it upscale by any means. The booth seatings have definitely seen their days, worn and sometimes split, but comfy nonetheless. There are also wooden chairs around round wooden tables for seating. Games are available on shelves to play. An old school typewriter rests on the side bar area, apparently retired from years earlier where paper was inserted for patrons to type whatever message came to them to express. A wall of cardboard coasters each displaying art created by patrons over the years can be seen to the side of the bar. The beer selection from Europe and Asia is extensive and definitely suited for distinguised tastes and connoiseurs of fine beers of the world. The bar staff are down to earth and friendly, laid back, and unpretentious. It never really gets loud and never rowdy, so conversation can be had (and heard) and is a good place to catch up with friends and chat over a pint of hefeweizen or chalice of flemish ale. The bathrom is small and definitely not "polished" by any means and reminiscent of typical brit pub lous, minus a urinal. A note that if using a debit or credit card, that the minimum is $10, so plan on 2 drinks or covering a friend to make the minimum, or else bring cash. Most selections are $6-8. Great neighborhood pub in Cap Hill.
