Pub Andrew's is described as a dive bar in the best possible way, with excellent bar service and consistently great bartenders that keep the vibe welcoming, the drinks decent, and an eclectic crowd. A security guard’s disrespectful behavior, including grabbing pool balls mid game and telling patrons it’s over, creates an unwelcoming atmosphere and reflects poorly on the place. Basic courtesy is expected by patrons, and such incidents dampen the overall experience, though the staff overall is praised. On the plus side, the bartenders are consistently great and the atmosphere remains appealing, with cheap liquor and good vibes. The music is sometimes too loud and would benefit from a lower level to allow conversations to flow.View restaurant profile
