The Duke Of Perth

I love this place!  It's cozy in winter (esp. if you get a table by one of the fireplaces), and it's great in the summer (huge outdoor patio).  The fish and chips are yummy, and they have a nice selection of beer and whiskey.  Be prepared to wait at least an hour (maybe two) to be seated on a Friday night, esp. during Lent.  You will be told "about 20 minutes", but I think they really mean an hour plus "about 20 minutes".  I've been coming here for years, so I'm used to the drill.  It's well worth the wait though, so just grab a beer or a hot buttered rum, and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait. :)

I went on a Friday around 6:30, so of course it was incredibly busy. We were told a 20 maybe 30 minute wait, and we waited over an hour. But I do have to say, the fish fry and drinks were way worth it! I'm used to endless fish fries in which you have to ask multiple times and wait forever for more, but the waitress was on top of it. She actually asked us before we thought about asking and didn't believe we didn't want a 3rd round. SO.. be prepared to stand in a crowded room for a long time, but I promise it will be worth it!

Descriptive phrase: endless fish fry.

What else is there to be said? Duke of Perth is THE place to be on a Friday during Lent. It's a smaller joint, with a homey, Scottish pub feel.

It took around 30 minutes to seat four of us. We spent that time grabbing a drink across the street because there was zero room to move in Duke.

Once we got a seat, delicious beer and food awaited us. Great beer choices from across the pond. We all opted for the Fish Fry. Perfectly battered and fried cod with fries and peas. Yes, peas. The combo worked fantasticly.

Best of all, it's endless. Keep the plates a'coming!

So good, worth the wait.
