Pub 819

The old Tavern on Main in Hopkins has been totally remodeled and added a full kitchen for a welcome revamp of the space. Pub 819 also has trivia on Monday nights at 8pm, so we are planning on visiting often. On our first visit for trivia we tried the food as well.

The room has been totally redone and is open and warm looking. I look forward to warmer weather when the garage door style doors in the front can be opened up. Right now, they are quite drafty to sit by unfortunately.

classic cheeseburger with Swiss and bacon

John had the cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and bacon. The burgers were very flavorful and coked medium as ordered. The buns were lightly toasted and sturdy enough to stand up to the juices of the burger. The fries have a light breading on them and give them an odd flavor. I'd prefer a plain french fry instead.

The ketchup offered is called 78 Red and has an odd flavor; sort of too sweet and not salty enough. I'd appreciate the option of Heinz ketchup personally.

red wine burger

The red wine burger is port wine reduction cooked into a beef patty, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and melted camembert cheese. It had a very rich, delicious flavor and a bit of tartness as well.

The service was very good and we hope they keep the trivia nights going for some time to come. It will certainly keep us coming back as often as we can.

Deals & Discounts: Happy hour is held Sunday-Friday 3pm to 6pm and drinks only from Daily 10p-Midnight. Check the website for more details. They currently have half off all burgers on Mondays as well, which is a great deal.   http://www.pub819.com/specials/
