OUR STORY
Hello, there! Meet Brooke and Paul. Food, beer, and hospitality are deeply rooted in these families. Paul’s distant relatives run a namesake pub in Scotland and another in Virginia since 1784. Paul’s great great grandfather owned a saloon along a railway in Missouri which was the original home of our beloved family heirloom wooden bar back. It was rescued from a barn after a wicked tornado destroyed the rest of the family’s property.
While Paul grew up working and cooking alongside his mother, a well respected caterer for decades, he delighted in creating delicious dishes and serving people. This early experience shaped his career and led him to work in the restaurant industry from age 15, later helping open multiple restaurant concepts, designing large scale commercial kitchens, and creating new events and systems for wildly popular Austin institutions. His passion for beer and homebrewing developed while at the Alamo Drafthouse, where his decade of enthusiasm and tireless spirit led to an overhaul of the beer education, food and events offered there. Working with incredible brewers and industry professionals, he helped create popular events during the Craft Brewers Conference, beer pairing dinners, and exclusive in-house offerings with popular local breweries. Paul has enjoyed opportunities in his earlier brewing experience to work alongside and learn from the region’s most awarded and respected brewers and breweries in Texas.
Brooke grew up traveling the world on frequent flier miles her dad acquired in a hard-earned life in sales and learned about people, food, arts, architecture, design, beer, and wine. She developed a passion for beer particularly after a mind-blowing trip to Belgium in 2001. She’s the quintessential optimist and a shining star to her friends and family.
Paul and Brooke met at UT Austin while earning degrees in Fine Art Painting and Design respectively. They cooked up lots of fun with wild impromptu parties involving scrappy homemade meat smokers, home grown garden bounty, cheap wine, great beer and fine music.
“From these early days…hospitality, spontaneity and creativity continue to drive us to move forward into our dream life—one of togetherness, family, community, creativity, and fun doing what we love: making beer and hosting friends and folks soon to be friends. Can’t wait to see you.”

Named after one of our favorite songs by The Specials, we first made this Texas nod to British style in the dead of summer, when our little town felt strangely empty, and we thought it a fitting tribute to an English style Brown Ale).

Menu sample
We also have a specials board and our seasonal menu changes a little each day during non-show times. Items may sell out or be replaced as ingredients are available. While we love To-Go orders, there may be times during the busiest Antiques Show days that we are not able to accommodate. All To-Go orders will incur a nominal surcharge. Thanks for understanding.
Each component is made from scratch. Even when the pub is closed, our staff works daily on brewing beer, ordering, stocking and prepping to serve the highest quality food in a comfortable environment.
Our teeny tiny food-truck sized kitchen is small but mighty. Food rolls out as ordered via dumbwaiter from the “attic” kitchen in our historic early 20th C. farmhouse.
The pub is counter service, open seating, and our staff will bring your food to your table. First come, first served. Please contact us if you have questions about a private event. Cheers!

Thurs-Sat 11AM-9PM
Sun 12PM-7PM
