Good Food Good Beer
Here are my experiences upon the first visitation to this restaurant. It was a cold Sunday afternoon of house hunting when found I was passing a friendly looking pub. The original plan was for my roommate and I to hop in, have an Irish coffee, and then go back to the grind. We headed straight for the bar and had a seat. Not 15 seconds had passed before we were greeted by a friendly bartender. I asked him if he had any good ideas about house hunting and before I knew it we had an entire friendly staff giving us good advice (and a newspaper). Well, to make a long story short [too late?] we spent the rest of the day there having drinks and chatting. The décor was very welcoming, the staff friendly and the food was good. What more could a man want. Ok, one pet peeve: No Guinness For some reason no brew-pub ever carries Guinness, they instead want to sell me on Pig Iron Porter or something similar. Guys, Guinness has a very light flavor! Just because it is dark in color does not make it syrupy and chunky. Why will no brew-pub carry it as a “guest beer” like they do Bud? Sorry, just venting. Go drink and eat here. Great prime rib on Sunday.    [21 Nov 2000 17:16:11]

Come for the Food, Beer Is OK
Food is good. Great atmosphere...but every time I've had their beer (8-10+) it has tasted soapy. Like they don't rinse the tanks out well enough. I love beer, and make my own. Their beer would be very good if not for the soapyness.    [07 Aug 2003 15:44:50]

nice change of pace
I get tired of eating at the same old places, so tried Iron Hill. It was a wonderful change. Not only is the decor a nice change, but so was the menu and the bar. I'm not a beer drinker, wine is my thing, but went with a beer drinker who loved the house blends she tried. I had ample wine choices and was quite happy with the pinot I ordered. The food was good and there were plenty of interesting choices.    [23 Jun 2006 14:28:29]
