Haymarket Pub went out of their way to accommodate and serve us. We required prompt and fast service and the servers quickly took our order and delivered the food appropriately and on time. Food was cooked perfectly and the server’s recommendation for beer was fantastic. There was live music and a great energetic vibe and we enjoyed all aspects of our meal. Looking forward to coming back to Haymarket Pub.
