From the outside of this building you would never guess that it is a British Pub. Yes, they have flags and yes they have a sign saying Pints Pub. They even have the famous red telephone booth outside, but in the big picture it looks like an old house in a historic district. A historic district next to the county jail, (that alone adds entertainment). They have a little (I mean LITTLE) front porch, that probably has 3 tables for outside sitting. Growing up in Florida enjoy the sunshine, I am all about sitting outside. I'll be thrilled to sit outside day in and day out for rest of my life, so when Swallow suggests we sit outside, I am all for it.
Swallow, convinces me that I want to come, have a few drinks and eat some chicken wings. Alright, I'll eat some chicken wings. These were the largest, best tasting chicken wings I have ever eaten in my entire life. I can normally put down about 8 to 10 wings, without even flinching. Not these things, I am lucky if I can put down four in one setting. They are non-breaded massive chicken wings that are crispy yet moist and delicious on the inside. The server was pleasant and informative, you could tell we weren't the first people that came in and tried to order two orders of chicken wings. She was quick to mention that one would be enough to feed a small army and she was correct.
Pints Pub, brews their own beer. They have six different flavors on any given day and they have the most whiskeys on one wall/ceiling then I have ever seen in my life. Swallow, thought for sure I would be in heaven. I wont lie. I was pretty excited. I enjoyed sitting outside and looking through an 11 page whiskey menu. An 11 page menu with tiny print. The more I read, the bigger my smile got and the happier I got. Swallow, sat across the table and was grinning from ear to ear. She was so proud of herself that she introduced me into a bar that had more whiskeys then I knew existed...that and it actually had my favorite whiskey of all. If she could pat herself on the back, she would have.
I give props and two thumbs up to the Pints Pubs. The food (wings and potatoes ) were phenomenal, Swallow enjoyed the beer that had a banana flavor, and the stout that I had was definitely drinkable. I might order it again, just to ensure that it really isn't the best thing about the bar. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad by any means, it just wasn't exactly what I had imagined it to taste like. It had a rich chocolaty/coffee flavor that is good, but by no means great!
With the weather getting nicer and nicer in each passing day, I am looking forward to more and more days sitting outside on the tiny little deck at the Pints Pub.
