Fodor's Expert Review Astwood Arms

At this Victorian-style bar and restaurant renovated from a former jewelry shop, the menu lists traditional gastropub offerings including Scotch eggs and balti chicken pie (flaky pastry filled with spiced chicken). It is also a surprisingly child-friendly spot, with a kids' menu that features mini burgers, fish fingers, and grilled chicken with peas. Kids also eat free all day on Saturday with a paying adult. But on evenings and weekends, the large, impressively decorated wooden bar that dominates an entire side of the room fills up with happy hour and late-night revelers.
