This was my home for 22 years. I bartended made friends and people I never met before. It gave me an experience to meet many people from different places. I miss being in there everyday making everyone’s experiences my best. I miss the food, I miss my co-workers and I definitely miss the company I had everyday. I miss the people who made it what it is…Mike, John, and Kathleen. People who were amazing at making the Brit the place to be! Thanks for the opportunity and the memories and the friends we meet along the way! Oh yeah I miss the Reuben a lot.

We dropped by this place on a Friday afternoon 3pm for a couple of happy hour beers. Friendly courteous staff provided service expediently. Good drinks, snacks and vibe at this neighborhood pub.
