The first time the bartender was awesome (big D or something the like), the second time a different guy (Brian/night manager) could've cared less about having small talk, however he kept our drinks full and wasn't rude, so I can't really complain.
Their late-night happy hour rocks with $2-3 Â call drinks and delicious draft pints from Ellis Island Brewery.
*note---the lettering on the front of the establishment says YORKY'S, but a smaller banner underneath lets you know that this is now a Village Pub.
Same great beer as Ellis Island with sweet potato tots to boot. Â
This was my first trip to this Village Pub location and it's a good probability that I will be back. I'm definitely partial to a good happy hour in my neck of the woods and this pub fits the bill. There were only 3 other people in the bar and it wasn't smoky. The service was quite good. I don't remember the bartenders name (I almost never do) but she was friendly, making conversation while pouring our beers. As some regulars came in she greeted them by name and knew their drink orders before they even asked. I like that, someone who takes pride in their job and makes an effort to be good at it.
This location was laid back with a comfortable atmosphere. The bar food was pretty good and during happy hour they offer quite a few half price appetizers including sweet potato tots. I am a big fan of those. Crispy on the outside, sweet potato perfection on the inside. I want a basket full right now.
