 Local pub or gentrified hotel? PA's successfully straddles both. A central bar shields the dining area from the TVs and pool tables, instead taking full advantage of the giant arched windows.
Service is super-friendly, kids' meals come quick, and the food's a step-up from your standard pub grub. At $13, a whopping porterhouse with greens and mash is excellent value, while real tartare sauce is something of a revelation alongside beer-battered flathead tails. Tagliatelle marinara, piled with fresh seafood, garlic and chilli on good-quality pasta, is perfectly balanced. Later in the week, trivia nights and DJs can make for a raucous evening, just as a good local should. |
