Editorial Review for Brit's Pub – by Jennifer Blaise
In Short
Brit's has become a local landmark and everyone's welcome. Downtown workers hit this multilevel bar for happy hour, singles love the late-night vibe at the street-side bar and sidewalk seating and families flock for tasty fish-and-chips. In winter, it's a refuge with cozy fireplaces and afternoon drinks. Come summer, friends mingle, barefoot on the green, playing croquet or learning to lawn bowl on the roof until blankets and beers fill the lawn for twilight movies.

I've been to Brit's numerous times - it's a nice play to go for happy hour in the summer. I went there today for lunch and was absolutely blown away by how much the lunch cost me. A Stilton Burger and a Lemonade ran me $21.50 (with a 15% tip)! Pretty out of control for a place like Brit's, who I wouldn't necessarily classify as having 5 star cuisine. The other big dissapointment was the fact that they've shrunk their burgers down to the point where they're literally a quarter of an inch thick - seriously! I've paid over $20 for lunch before, and do not have a problem doing so - but certainly not at a place like Brit's Pub, and not for the caliber of food they serve.

AVOID! Very family unfriendly. Bad service....food ok. Brit's was a favorite years ago, so when relatives came in town and we found ourselves on Nicollet Mall, I encouraged a visit to Brit's for lunch. With three adults and three small children (6, 5 and 4) we ordered light with a couple appetizers, a sandwich and three miniscule (very) kids pizzas. The service was inexistent despite the restaurant being visibly staffed and lightly filled with patrons (lunch). Presented with the bill found they had kindly added a 17.5% gratuity. The tax was way off, so the waitress disappeared for the manager to show up. Asked about the tax, he reminded my that all the tax downtown was 12% (he thougfht) (not his fault...no big deal) now on food and the gratuity was mandatory. "It's on the menu...didn't you see it"? he asked. Okay...I get the parties of six or more...but kids??? Was delivering some pizza biscuits really in the spirit of the menu warning? And further..what ever happen to 15% which I always leave? "Oh it's always been 17.5 percent here"", he responded. Enough of this place...I succumbeed to being fleeced with resolve never to venture back. Poor service...unfriendly, adequate food, yet highly overpriced. Save your money and go elsewhere. There are plenty of other choices in downtown Minne...especially on Nicollet that are overwhelmingly better.
