"6/1/26 Tasty pub grub and the Kirin hit the spot too!"

"We came in right when most restaurants around closed their kitchens and the Exchange Bar staff was great and accomodated us for dinner. We had the lamb stew and salmon and it was absolutely wonderful! Prices are definitely reasonable. Service was great too."

"Food was a little average, but we were not there for the food. Drinks were great, top cocktails. The service was great and the atmosphere was great. Nice balance of party and sitting by the fire."
