Weekend brunch was so good that we went here back to back days. Their Benedict’s were amazing and very flavorful. Chilaquiles was loaded and great. Scotch Eggs were perfect. Only complaint was the michelada had way too much Bloody Mary mix but this is a very minor issue compared to the overall awesome experience that brought us back two days in a row. Obviously recommend.

I've been curious about the various Thirsty Lion gastropubs, but never been inside of one until this past weekend, when during a Christmas shopping foray, we decided to stop in for a drink and a quick snack while in the area. As we weren't particularly hungry, between the Ahi Poke Stack, some Spicy Fried Chicken Sliders, and a cocktail a piece, all off the Happy Hour menu, we left feeling satisfied, yet also hungry for more, having seen several other items on the menu that enticed us. The interior is modern, dimly lit, clean and spacious, without any particular influence or flair, yet still charming and welcoming, halfway between a sports bar and an upscale bistro. Service was great to start, and a little difficult to track down at the end, but otherwise adequate. Although our quick stop was something of a mere appetizer of what the Thirsty Lion has to offer, it was intriguing enough to warrant a return visit to sample the main courses. We'll be back, whenever chance finds us in the area.

Overall the food was good but a bit too salty for my liking! We thought only the calamari was salty but the rest of the food was the same too. If you are sensitive or can’t eat salt much, you might want to mention that to your server. The service was GREAT! The place is clean and spacious. We sat inside but it got a bit chilly, I think sitting outside in the shade would have worled better. Let me know what you think of the place! Hope this helps! ✨

Excellent service was very attentitive, answered a few questions , and she came often to see how things were going . The food was very tasty started with a. California rolls would say standard plus presentation was great 4.5, soup was very tasty ,nice flavor To it excellent option ... drink was a mai tai ,not as fruity as other places but taste good and did the kick . The steak was medium good charcoal taste without the oily flavor .. veggies actually were really good , saltee and charcoiled for the extra taste .. this was actually much better than years ago .. would go again for sure .. for atlantic salmon or else ..

Very good food, very good service. Highly recommend this place to go to. I will definitely come back next time. I am in the area.

Blood orange margarita was good. And the bacon wrapped shrimp. Disappointed that the scotch eggs were dry and not very flavorful. I had scotch eggs about 6 years ago at a place I once worked at and I loved them. I have been thinking about them and wanted to try them ever since and this is the first time I’ve come across a menu that serves them. I was really disappointed. Our server patiently waited on our large table of woman and he was very accommodating. Good job Jimmy! Thanks for making our dining experience so special with the ladies. He was so kind to switch out the Scotch eggs with something else and that’s what I call good service!

Been wanting to try this place for about a year now. Wife surprised me with a nice dinner out; and they did not disappoint. We were greeted immediately. Our server was prompt and friendly. The restaurant is large, yet feels cozy. We enjoyed a couple non alcoholic beverages, both were refreshing. Shared the bacon wrapped prawns, delicious. I got the gochujang pork carnitas over kimchi rice, which was absolutely wonderful! Wife got the stacked chicken enchiladas; I think I would call it what it is, a tostada. A lot of corn chips for twenty bucks; although she did enjoy it. I would happily come back again. A pleasant experience all together.
