Portland Beer House

Making matters worse is the fact that the Wheat Sheaf wait staff is getting lazy and surly.

Was there a time when they weren't?

What's a boy to do to get a decent pint and a bit of grub for a small amount of the coin of the realm?

I forget what the prices were like, but the last time I was in the Paddock, they not only had a few good beers on tap, including Konig Ludwig Weisse, but also a reasonable selection of wine by the glass and some interesting cocktails. I've also heard that the food is pretty good.

Another option in the area with a decent beer selection and good, reasonably priced food is Epicure. Just be forewarned that the website I've got linked there is three years out of date, and they've since moved a few doors east on Queen and have changed their menu a bit, although it's still the same basic style of food with similar prices.

Sad to see the Portland close, but it was terribly awkward with that wall down the middle and old empty brewery space. Whoever takes that space needs to find a way to tear down the wall and get the place entirely licensed again like the Rotterdam was.
