The Londoner

Great Atmosphere, Service is not always so great

I love the Londoner and go there quite a bit. I had to write this review b/c the only gripe I have is that sometimes the service stinks! yes there are some great servers there, but there are also so terrible ones. My advice, go early and get a seat inside. You are probably going to get better service! Other than that, great place to hang out with an adult crowd and chat!

This is the place to kickback, enjoy drinks, company, and people who just want to have a good time. Awesome for groups of friends but make sure to get there early to fit everyone it. The waiters are awesome and remember a friendly face everytime. Make sure to stop by and have some great drinks, awesome food, and tons of fun!

• Pros: Great Service, Fantastic Drinks
• Cons: Crowded at Night, Parking can be iffy

English Spirit with English Spirits

by darkblood777 at Citysearch

The Londoner is an English pub. It's a pub for people who want to see what a traditional English pub looks and feels like. Dark hardwood floors span all around the many rooms, while symbols of British pride decorate the dark wooden walls. Outside there's a patio to relax on during cool summer nights. 80's new wave & pop music play from the speakers inside and outside, however from all the chatter inside you'll only really hear it on the patio. Like many alcohol-serving establishments, they have dart boards and pool tables. They also have multiple big-screen TV's and couches in front of a roaring fireplace. However, it's the people who give this place a welcoming atmosphere, and I don't just mean the servers. The hearty days and happy nights keep the fun in the air, and I've never seen a fight break out.

The Londoner is one of only two places around here where I can find "Strongbow" my favorite English cider, and the best selling cider in the world. Frankly, it's not a real English pub unless they have Strongbow.

For people who want a meal all of the old English standbys are here. Shepards Pie, Fish n' Chips, Scotch Eggs, Bangers & Mash, etc. There are also several Indian dishes here. Due to the overwhelming number of Indians in Britain, their food and culture have integrated with the British quite nicely. For people who don't like Indian or British food (there's always a few oddballs), several popular Americanized dishes are available such as Fajita Wraps, Quesadillas, Hamburgers, and London Caesar Salads (which have nothing to do with London).

If you're looking for a romantic getaway, this is NOT FOR YOU! However, if you and 20 of your friends want to go have a good time and drink a little, then get your arse over here!

• Pros: Great food & atmosphere, Strongbow
• Cons: a little noisy, parking is sometimes difficult
