Give Penny Lane Pub a look.  Great authentic British pub with a good selection of beers and the chow is great also.  Fantastic fish and chips.

OP-  Are you in town for training?

If you want an awesome gun shop to walk through to kill some time, Green Top is the place.  Think a mom and pop locally owned Cabelas/Bass Pro type of place.  Awesome selection of all kinds of guns, accessories, suppressors, fishing gear, etc

It is, it's a "cop shop" but an actual decent gun store, too. Lots of good trade-in deals to be had.

You'll be hard pressed to find it if you're not familiar with the area.

It's tucked back in the corner of a strip mall at the intersection of Highway 360 and Courthouse Rd.

it's a PITA to get to due to the interestions,

there is a Verizon shop on the corner, the shopping center is behind that ,

you can access it only by going West on 360 (called Hull Street Road) or North on Courthouse,

it's tucked down in the corner of the shopping center

We did the smoked turkey, brisket and sides for Thanksgiving.  Tried to get the daughter to get the Christmas ham, but they sold out.

I hope you enjoyed them!  The current owner was my roomate in college.  His parents were the original owners.  Both were straight of the boat from Liverpool.  Hence the authentic Brit pub atmosphere.  The place can be crazy packed at 8:00am when big name Premier League teams are playing live.

My wife and I’s first date was at Penny Lane. Rehearsal dinner was there. Going away party to Germany, etc. Love that place. I used to be a regular at 8 am on a Saturday or Sunday . I just hate the new restaurant tax the city rolled out a few years ago.
