Small intimate pub on seminary grounds with nice outdoor seating. Limited menu. Free popcorn. 1823 is the year the seminary was founded.

Hidden gem. I don't want to review it because more people will start coming here. One of the top 5 bars in the area, hands down.

Almost didn't want to expose this lovely place. Eat in the dining room/bar, or outside under the umbrellas. You may be lucky and have some impromptu instrumental/singing music by customers and/or students. Bring your own instrument. You will be welcomed Take a stroll on the gorgeous grounds after your meal. You will not want to leave. Bon appetite.

This continues to be the best little seminary pub in the world. The staff is excellent. The food is great. The people are all happy. I first told my wife I love her outside on what is now the patio. It's a very special place. If you're reading this you should go, have a blast, and tip lavishly.
