Britannia Arms - Cupertino

My friend and I just wanted some drinks and this was the closest place. It was a live music night so it was loud and obnoxious. The cover charge was pricey and the service was OK. It was too loud inside to chat (due to the music) and the patio area was busy with people smoking. Being non smokers, we didn't enjoy the patio either.

You could do better than "the Brit" as it's called by the locals, but it really has everything you would expect of a pub. Karaoke on some nights. A pool table, darts, and international Soccer/Futball on TV. It has enough space for an average night o not feel overcrowded, but because it is the pub of choice, there are nights where it can get a little cozy.

My biggest gripe about this place is the cover charge for hip-hop night. I don't want to hear it, and it is actually a nuisance. I purposefully sit outside just to hope I can't hear it (it doesn't work). Basically, I would prefer they give me my first drink free, instead of charging me $10.00 to put up with crap I don't even want to hear. I suppose businesses don't stay in business by giving their product away, but they could certainly do without driving most people away once a week.
