Dog and Bull

I used to go to this same place years ago when it was a different name and it was a dive...the dog & bull completely made a difference..the beer selection is great.I like taverns and import beer...I live nearby and go to this bar maybe once week or so and I must say this new place is pretty goo.there's good jazz bands and good beer.I've only had food there once and it was also good...I'm also friendly with the bouncers.they remember my face.however I recently went with my mother and her boyfriend and the bartender JACK was rude from the second we walked in..and for some reason it my mother he decided he didn't like.she asked him a couple questions some drinks and he was real short with her like she was bothering him..at this point we were only on our second drinks when he started to be rude again and this time I chimed in and asked him why he's being rude..he continued to be loud at me and told me to get out...I have never in my life been kicked out of the bar for anything and I couldn't believe his behavior..I have never encountered a bartender that was as rude as him..I will be speaking to the owner..andy..about this fellow..this place is a great place...it would be 5 star if the owner supervised his bartenders a little closer.overall though good food and good drinks

Met an old co-worker for lunch at Dog and Bull.  Their website was rather impressive; the beer list is fairly large and unexpected for a bar in Croydon so we decided to give it a try.  From their expansive website I was expecting a larger, newer bar but as I drove up it looked like a typical dive.  When we walked in we were greeted by the bartender and several men sitting on the other side of the bar and at high top tables.  Either the community of Croydon is very friendly or all of these men worked at the bar (I suspect the latter.)  We sat in the dining room area; the chairs and table were awkwardly short.  We ordered some nice Micro brews; however I had to ask the server for water twice, I guess I am used to places just giving water to everyone upon arrival.  I had the portobella sandwich, and he had a chicken wrap.  They both came with fries that were just ok.  Both sandwiches were fine, but nothing stood out as exceptional or unique.  The server was attentive enough, despite the water incident.  I think I would go back again for beers but probably not for the food.

Tried Dog and Bull on Wednesday night and WOW was I impressed.  The place is a little restaurant right in front of Croydon train station and when I say little I mean little.  In the dinning room area it holds about 6 tables and they seem to fill up very quickly and I have to say this is the only negative about this place.   I couldn't make it into the bar area to see if tables were in there or not.  The food was awesome.   I had the cheese steak with fries and my husband had a build a burger.  My cheese steak was really tasty and the roll was nice and soft just the way I like it.  I upgraded for a buck to the parm fries and I'm so happy that I did.  They were cooked perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection.  My husbands burger was really great and he loved that it was only 50 cents to add any topping he wanted.  He went with Cheddar cheese, Pork Roll, and Bacon.  Why would you add pork roll and bacon you might wonder because he could :).  Definitely a must try for next time you are in Croydon area.
