We looked up Rula Bula because of the Iron Druid Chronicles. Happily surprised that it actually exists, we decided to try it out.

The pub is beautiful, and full of history in its own right.

The host who greeted us was welcoming and attentive.

Had a bit o Tullamore Dew while we waited for our fish and chips.

The fish and chips were the best I've had since my trip to the UK in the 1980s. Light, crispy, flakey fish, and perfectly done chips-- crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

We shared a delicious Apple Crumble for dessert, and had half of it left to take back with us.

Our server (who had a majestic Mohawk) was attentive and personable even though he was at the end of his shift.

We'll definitely return the next time we're in the area.
