The Generous Squire


I’ve been wandering along different paths from my hotel trying to become more familiar with the city, and to look for a place to grab a pint and dinner each night. This night, I came past a pub with outdoor seating that looked popular. After I saw the name, The Generous Squire, I knew this was the place to stop; James Squire was the brand of an amber ale I had earlier in the week.

The Generous Squire was a microbrewery and restaurant; my favorite kind of place to go. As I mentioned, they had plenty of outdoor seating and spacious second story. Strangely, they didn’t have any seats at the bar, but after watching the client – bartender interactions for a while, I noticed that this was a clever way to keep the bar clear and provide a path for the thirsty to quickly get a drink without having to shout and reach over barstools.







The food and beer was a good as I hoped. I ordered a sample tray and a steak sandwich. Their IPA and porter were my favorites. I can’t wait to visit again…even if the beers were $10/pint and $24 for a 6-pack!
