it's all hit or miss. the food and the service. I wanted so badly to like this place and be a regular, but I just haven't found anything on the menu that I love. Also, the porchetta sandwich is not like other porchetta sandwiches that I've had before. this one seems like oven roasted and the pork is pulled. The pulled pork seemed like its briefly soaked in its own juices before hitting the bread. I prefer the traditional porchetta sandwiches that are roasted on a rotisserie with spices and sliced for the sandwich. Their entrees are only served after 4pm.
Review Source:I can't imagine myself visiting this bar again because the whole menu seemed to be nothing special and I really had a hard time figuring out what i wanted to get. However, the Porchetta on the menu was the real winner with the Jamison Pour House. It's  a (moist) roast pork sandwich with the right amount of provolone cheese that I can say was some of the best I have ever had in the Delaware Valley. It even beats what I had at Reading Terminal in Center City Philly and other Road Pork eateries in the immediate Philly burb's.
They seem to have an expansive beer selection but what was most memorable about Jamison was finding the beers that were specials on the menu for $1.50 to $3 that you would normally find more expensive at other bars.
After looking at other bars and visiting one other bar on Easton Road, this is likely the best bar in the immediate Doylestown area to visit (which is almost sad).
While visiting Pennsylvania recently, I went to the Jamison Pour House for lunch with a large group, some of whom I had heard varying opinions on the food and its preparation. Â My experience was pleasant. Â For starters, I do enjoy a nice craft brew with my meal, and the restaurant sure is able to provide that. Â They have a somewhat complete beer listing of beers around the United States and even a few from Europe. Â I opted for an Allagash white beer, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
For lunch, I had an appetizer of old bay fries with white cheese sauce. Â The white cheese sauce was reminiscent of the taste of poutine gravy and cheese curds, which made for an interesting, yet satisfying taste combination. Â I also had a prime rib sandwich, which on taste alone I would surely recommend to others.
The service by the waitstaff was on top of things, especially when dealing with orders from a group of over a dozen people. Â The Jamison Pour House also seems to cater to people of all ages, as they were sponsoring a Lunch with Santa (as people could get pictures with Santa) during our time there.
I left satisfied and filled, but even the next day there was nothing memorable about my meal. It was a good quality burger, prepared medium rare as ordered, but the flavor just wasn't there. Mushrooms were chopped in half, which meant everything constantly fell off the burger. Is it that hard to slice flat? I do it all the time. The bun was one of those hipster deals that's all shiny on top and falls apart on the bottom. And it looked like the top bun was grilled - and buttered? If the menu said anything about that, I would have told them not to. I don't like surprises.
There is indeed a very nice beer selection on tap. I still found it expensive enough to only order one instead of two. All in all I feel that I emptied about $5 more out of my wallet than I needed to for a meal like this - good quality all around, but not worth returning to. Then again, I haven't found anything in the Doylestown area really worth returning to. So if you're stuck there and don't want to drive miles toward Philly, maybe you should tack a star on.
For what it's worth, the other people with me seemed to like this place about 4 stars' worth. I just couldn't justify it myself.
decent drinks and food, decor and ambiance are nice as well.
What irritated the hell out of me today was this:
The specials board and our server told us about the special for Monday: a few items and $2 off every burger. When we received the check, the burgers were full price, now I wasn't going to make a fuss about it since its only $4, but then l I heard our server mention to the newly seated table right next to us and then grab our check right after. I simply told her that what you just said to the other table wasn't applied to our check, she simply says "oh, ok." No sorry, I forgot, silly me - none of that.
Moral of the story: DONT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS ASK FOR THE FRIGGIN DISCOUNT THAT IS PLASTERED ON THE BOARD AND SPEWED OUT OF THE SERVERS MOUTH!
ITS EMBARRASSING TO THE CUSTOMER AND YOUR ESTABLISHMENT.
Excellent beer selection and the food was quite good.
The variety of beer was incredibly varied, many of which I have never tried (Magic Hat Elder Betty), and some that I didn't think we could get in our area (Russian River).
The Patriot burger was great: blue cheese and crisp bacon that I could not stop eating.
For a "bar" and restaurant, this place is the tops.
Been there two or three times and have not been disappointed in the food.
Last time there, we were seated by the back door and every time it opened, the cold air blew on us. So we had to move ourselves to another table. What is wrong with waitstaff?! There were plenty of empty tables that were not next door the door!
This was my first time here, and it was okay. The staff all seemed overly friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. We came here for more of a meal than "drinking". I wasn't really impressed with the food. I ordered the Crab Mac & Cheese which was tasty, but was presented very poorly and quite expensive for what it was. No side dishes or anything was included, just the entree. The pasta dish my friend had was also good, but nothing real unique.
The beer selection is enormous, which is obviously the main draw here. You obviously don't really come here to have a "Miller Lite" type of beer (although you certainly could). The few drinks I did have were excellent, but that is for a different review site.
I will definitely return on more of a "bar night", but would get the "finger food" selections as opposed to a full meal.
Best Pub in Bucks!!! I have never experienced a warmer or friendlier pub crowd in my life. We go there twice per week and we really look forward to our next visit. Staff cares about you, no knuckle heads at bar. Burgers are huge and delicious, pork sandwich is to die for, crab Mac n cheese is the best. Beer list as long as my arm. You will not be disappointed, go to the Pour House!!!
Review Source:Since this place has been transformed into a family friendly establishment, complete with game room for the kids, and large beer menu, I have been meaning to stop by.
I went there with the hope that I would have pasta with oil and garlic, but that appears to have been removed from the menu, and not reflected on the website.
Their beer selection is big, with probably at least 25 taps. You are given a list to peruse, with stamps over kegs that have kicked and stamps saying just tapped. It was a bit confusing to read, and also lacked sufficient description of the beers to give you a good idea of what something is without tasting it.
I had a bottle of George Washington's Porter from Yards, which is one of my favorites. Bar loses points for giving me a frosted glass to pour it into.
Second beer was a Paulaner Oktoberfest.
For food I got the Monday special, the Pour House burger. It is a big burger served on a brioche style bun. I asked for it medium rare and it game out medium well. The burger had some caramelization on it but really lacked in flavor. A single piece of cheddar was melted on it, not even covering the whole top of the burger. Through eating the burger, the bun disintegrated, leaving me no choice but to eat the remainder with knife and fork. But not a bad deal for five dollars.
The moral of the story is you can put 25 tap lines in, but unless you can communicate to patrons and provide good food to go along with it, you will only go so far. Jamison Pour House has come half way. Lets see if they can bring it home to make this a truly wonderful establishment.
The first time we went service & food was average. Â We recently went back when they had their HOP FEST & had a totally different experience. Â The beer selection was phenomenal & I just checked their draft list & it's pretty darn good. Â The food was good too - i got some crazy burger with pork roll & a fried egg & all the guys liked their food. They were PACKED the night we went but everyone was super nice - bartenders & servers so..... we would go back!!!!!!
Review Source:Every since I moved from the Abington area, leaving behind the Drake (love the long windows that open out to the street - food can be hit or miss, but when it's hit, it's grand) and the Vintage (owners are fabulous, bartenders great, food always a hit - but small and too dark) I've been searching for a 'replacement.'
Someone recommended the Jamison Pour House and though it took us a few months to actually get around to going, I think I've found my replacement (if only it wasn't a 20 minute drive!).
Do not let its small stature on the outside fool you. When you walk in, there is a nice dining area to the right and a bar to the left.
Of course, we headed straight to the bar. The bar area is filled with windows (love). It was a sunny day, the blinds were closed, but it was still bright without being distracting. There were many tables in the dining room, but we sat at the bar. Many TV's throughout - with great crystal clear pictures- this would be a great place to watch sports. There was a wonderful fireplace, which gave it a cozy feeling.
There was a juke box (a MUST for me to be truly satisfied!!) and the bartender knew how to make a "wedding cake martini." - so it was shaping up to take the lead for my 'new favorite bar.' Â Then the food arrived .
John had mussels in white sauce - which he said was excellent. One feature that I love about the Jamison Pour House is that you can mix and match (half of one sandwich, half of another) your pub sandwiches for a buck extra. Â
I had half the porchetta - slow roasted pork with provolone and peppers and half roast beef w/ provolone. John had half roast beef and half cheesesteak. We split fries, and the fries were crispy and hot and seasoned just right! The sandwiches were fabulous and they are known for their porchetta and now I know why!
Service was speedy and the bartender was attentive without being pushy or annoying.
Most excellent place. I can't wait to return!!!!
This restuarant/bar is clean and family friendly with an arcade area for kids. Â The bar is nice, with beautiful work done on the fireplace. Â TV's are everywhere. Â Service is OK and the food is good (although, the nachos are covered in cheese wiz and all the fun stuff is on the top layer only, so I don't recommend those...). Â Parking is good. Â It was a little loud the last time I was there because there was a live band/trivia night, but that's what you get when eating at 8PM! Â There's a deck area, but I haven't been out to see it yet. Â Overall, a good casual dining place and a good place to go watch the games on the weeknds!
