The Pub concept was born out of owner Nick Sanders’ passion for the classic British pub. Each Pub is designed to provide guests with an authentic British pub experience while delivering on American expectations. The gastropub style menu incorporates innovative pub cuisine with an extensive beverage selection and the atmosphere combined with the European approach to hospitality creates a unique and memorable experience.
Interior Design and Décor The centerpiece in each Pub is a handcrafted bar with Optic Pourers native to the inverted pouring systems that originated in Europe. The furniture and most of the accessories are purchased in England to guarantee an authentic British pub atmosphere.
Menu (See Enclosed) Our menu has been designed to provide our guests with traditional pub fare that exceeds expectations. The gastropub style menu offers a wide variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and burgers along with small plates and classic pub fare such as fish-n-chips, bangers and mash and shepherd’s pie.
Beverage Program (See Enclosed) The beverage selection in each location is extensive and detailed research goes into creating a beer list that is unique to each Pub. Guests can sample a wide variety of draught, cask conditioned and handcrafted beers with selections from England, Ireland, Scotland, Europe and the USA. What the beer is served in is as important as the beer itself. In true pub fashion, our glassware varies from beer to beer, each with its own unique glass allowing our guests to properly savor their favorite brew. In addition, each Pub offers a comprehensive list of single malt scotches, small batch and single barrel bourbons, wines and specialty cocktails.
Pub Beer Passport Program This program is for the seriously dedicated beer drinker. A limited amount of passports are sold each time we open a new Pub. Members can taste beers from different countries as well as hand crafted beers from the states. Upon completion of the program they receive the honor of “World Beer Traveler” and receive exclusive benefits.
Employee Training Each manager participates in an eight week training program that includes two weeks in the kitchen, two weeks of bar and beverage program training and four weeks shadowing another manager throughout various shifts. Many of our managers are promoted from within the company. Our beverage managers also complete the Cicerone and Barsmarts certification programs.
Hourly kitchen, bar and wait staff participate in a 21 day training program prior to opening. The training consists of food handling and safety, extensive beverage training with an emphasis on history, brewing and distillation procedures and a food class ensuring that each member of the staff has complete knowledge of all items on the menu. Continuing education programs are provided once per quarter for both management and hourly employees. Demographic The Pub is appealing to a wide demographic because it is designed as a classic British pub and meant to be a place where anyone from the neighborhood can stop in to enjoy a bite to eat, a cold pint and being in community. The Pub’s target customer is men and women of all age groups with a disposable income. The ideal customer values the European approach to hospitality, the wide variety of menu options and appreciates a fine ale or lager. Above all they relish the unique atmosphere and experience that cannot be found anywhere else.
The Pub concept is appealing on multiple levels and attractive to developers because of its strong success in drawing an urban and suburban clientele from all age groups. We are considered a complimentary tenant because our unique concept has no active competitors. The Pub is typically located in lifestyle centers with neighboring tenants such as PF Changs, the Cheesecake Factory, J Alexander’s, Flemings Prime, The Capitol Grille, and McCormick & Schmicks. Typical retail co-tenants are upscale fashion stores such as Ann Taylor and large anchors ranging from Dillard’s to Nordstroms.
