Reviews Britannia Arms

4 stars - for the service, otherwise vibes & food were a solid 3.5 stars My sister and I came here around 5PM on a Thursday and the place was empty apart from a few regulars camped out. The interior of the place is typical sports bar and sports bar levels of unkempt, nothing out of the ordinary. But they have a pretty nice patio seating arrangement (dog friendly) so we got a table outside. You're meant to order at the bar, but while we were looking at the menu the bartender came up to us and said he'd be happy to take the order at our table since there wasn't any other business. He was prompt and friendly and made an effort to have two youngish women feel comfortable & less out of place, which I appreciate. 4 stars are for you my guy. The menu had typical British fare but also randomly an entire section for street tacos and burritos. We ended up getting the Fish & Chips Combo, Veggie Pizza, and a cup of the Clam Chowder. Fish & Chips Combo - 5 stars. Oof. It came out hot, the fries were crispy and perfect, everything seasoned well... we wished we'd gotten two orders after the first bite. Veggie Pizza - 3.5 stars. Crust was thin and crispy as we like, good sauce to cheese ratio, but for whatever reason the veggies were cut in an absurd manner - mushrooms were diced to smithereens but the onions were MASSIVE. You could expect to just chow down on an onion every other bite. Clam Chowder - 1 star. Flavor was there, a little heavy on the salt, but the texture was so deeply offensive we barely ate any. It was as though the "soup" (it can't be called a soup, it was entirely solid) had no cream and only cornstarch. Super weird. Can still feel it in my mouth. Don't want to think about it. Food was a bit hit or miss, but I'd go back for the excellent Fish & Chips and the promise of live music.

Great being back at Britania Arms and listening to live performances again!! We came to see Josh Diamonds perform! The owner, Tommy, was amazing and super sweet! Loved his opening speech reminding everyone we have to be safe and wear masks when indoors at the bar and walking around. We could take them off at our tables. Great food, too! Loved the Fish and Chips! Tommy and Pedro (bar tender) were also super accommodating. My sister surprised us and brought an ice cream cake because we were also celebrating our mom's 67th birthday! I asked Pedro if they happened to have paper plates, plasticwear, napkins and a knife to cut and serve our huge party of 20+ people. He didn't hesitate to help!! We were very appreciative of their excellent service! Such nice people! Can't wait to return! Thank you, Tommy and Pedro, for making our night such a memorable one. 🥳🥰😷

We had a quesadilla and fish and chips they were both amazing. Also I love that the food came quickly and arrived super hot and fresh. Also I really enjoyed watching the soccer game playing on one of the TVs above the bar. If you want to bring your dogs they are allowed at outside seating. Without dogs there is plenty of insight seating as well. I hope to go back again next time I am in town.

Outstanding pub. Employees are "good people" and they serve a great pint. I will come here often.

A great bar to see live music. I live an hour away in Walnut Creek but come regularly to see my favorite Bon Scott era AC/DC tribute band - Long Gon Bon! ALWAYS a great show and great time.

Stopped in with a buddy for drinks and a round of pool Wednesday night. Nice place. Lady behind the bar was wonderful. Guinness was poured well. Fish and chips were very good. Will stop by again if I stay in the area

Everything was pretty good, but slightly on the salty side, which would be fine if you had a beer next to you. Typical "pub" type fare. If you've been to England, you know Indian food is pretty big there, so the addition of those items wasn't a particular surprise.

I have a great time singing karaoke with Robbie on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. I hear that Thursday's open mic night has lots of guests. Tuesdays also has a trivia competition and Brazilian drumming outside. On the weekends there's live music. Glen is a great bartender! There are pool tables, darts and pinball. There's lots of room for larger parties.
