What People Are Saying About Rose & Thistle Pub

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.

I've only been to the Rose & Thistle a few times, but definitely plan on going back. Their enormous patio is perfect in the summer and their menu is fantastic.

And the atmosphere here is great. It is a quaint little place to take a first date or your folks. The food is always good and so are the drinks. The staff is young and aware of meeting customers needs.

We have enjoyed the Rose & Thistle?s food on a previous evening. Last night we decided to meet a friend for a later dinner. As the bar area filled with patrons, the wait staff began seating the overflow in the dining area. Luckily we had finished our meal, were relaxing and conversing. Suddenly we began to smell the stench of cigarette smoke coming from the next table. Upon leaving, we asked the hostess if this was a common practice?allowing people to smoke in the dining room. Her reply was, ?When the bar fills up patrons, smoking or non-smoking, go into the dining room.? We were disappointed with the response and will only continue to patronize Irish Pubs that have regard for their customers.
