The Tudor English Pub by Jenn Gleckman
The last time I set foot in here it was still legal to smoke in bars in California. Back then it was the prototypical British pub, smoky, dark, with the odd accented barman or barmaid. The beers were imported, the food greasy, and there were always a few expats or UK tourists seeking the familiar. Times have changed.
