Editorial Review for Rose & Thistle – by Paige Tashner
The Scene
Bagpipes, swords, plaid and all things Scottish adorn the walls of this Northeast pub. Find your clan's coat of arms, sample fine scotch, then test your skills at darts. The clientele is rich with regulars and newcomers sharing a love of banter and beer.
The Draw
A wise Scottish adage states "A drink is shorter than a tale." With the impressive selection of scotch and whiskey, there is no shortage for the longest of tales. The British Isles may be known for bland food, but for the true Scot, a steaming haggis will warm the soul to the hem of the kilt. For everyone else, a heaping plate of Bobby's Famous Fish and Chips (named after the owner) or a sinfully savory Scotch egg will suffice. Celebrate Scottish and Irish holidays with blaring bagpipes and bountiful imported beers such as the tasty McEwans IPA.

This is an OK attempt to create a pub in North America. The Boddingtons was average. Atmosphere good except for one major downside—awful music playing much too loud, rendering pub-type conversation impossible. If it has to be left on, simply turn it down and the atmosphere will improve 100%. Pubs aren’t places for swinging singles with blaring music.
Pros: could be a good pub
Cons: overly loud, bad music

The Rose&Thistle is THE best place to eat fish and chips, and the staff is great. I just moved into the neighborhood, and I plan to return. Thanks!
