The Scene – Trials is a British pub where expats and others can drink an expertly poured Guinness and relax like they're visiting their mums.

The second con is it's too far from my house, darn it. The food is really good, both times we visited we had the curry, burger and shepherd's pie, all excellent. Claimed the curry was hot, really, you call that hot? Guess I better order the really hot one next time. Patrons seem to include a good variety of students, city workers and average folks just out for a beer. Had no problem bringing my toddler daughter either.

- Pros: Comfort food, cozy place
- Cons: Wish was bigger

Favorite Downtown Pub
by Ichbinfabelhaft at Citysearch
This place is great! It is laidback and has great beer and wonderful food!
The best thing is NO TV. Which means on game nights it is not over crowded with guys shouting!
Fun hip people that are willing to chat and relax.
Plus the Bar tender is really nice and cute!!
