The Whip

Editorial Review

Thick with history and bricky ambience, this funky, split level gastropub/gallery has been a local fave throughout several owners. Hit the patio and try some of the seven deadly sin-themed martinis, or share a pitcher of cardinal virtue-themed sangria with your brunch benny or pesto shrimp omelette. Lunch and dinner offerings include hearty salads, sandwiches, French pastry pizzas, burgers and tasty yam fries. Dubbed best local beer cafe by the Campaign for Real Ale, Sundays are cask ale nights.
