I can't say enough about the Boatswains burger at the admiral. Â There are times I crave the burger so intensely that temporary blindness sets in. Â I love the english muffin as the bun. Â man, I'm getting hungry just writing about it. Â The fries are good, not great. Â They always have a good draught beer selection. Â I think Hob Goblin is the one I usually get. Â it's the funky looking pull-handle on the left. Â In addition the place is a little smokey, I like the smell but a little less smoke would be nice. Â Seating is limited and there are a few oddly place support poles that wold be better if gone... Aesthetically anyways... I'm sure they have a job to do. Â The smallness of The Admiral is part of the coziness that I like however. Â
Ok, now I've done it... think I need to go get a Boatswains burger now.
The Admiral is an alright place to eat. The food is good, but the menu is a little small. It's great for pub food, but I wouldn't order the fancier dishes being that it is a pub. It's better to stick with what you know they're good at. Draft beer selection could use a little more selection, but what they have isn't bad either.
Staff and bartender are all extremely friendly and the service is great. My biggest problem with this place is the business hours they hold. I can't tell you how many times I have tried this place for dinner on an idle Wednesday, Thursday, or Monday (just throwing out random days here) and the place was closed, it made no sense. Why would a place be closed on a Wednesday evening? Because the place always seemed to be closed whenever we wanted to go there we have since chosen other options to avoid such a hassle.
If you do plan on going here, call ahead to make sure they are open. Food itself is good though so I do recommend....as long as they are open.
