What People Are Saying About Bishop's Collar

Citysearch
In Short – Bishop's has all the charm of a typical Irish pub. A dramatic maple bar at the entrance is offset by red walls and country farm tables that stretch back across the narrow room. It has become a favorite of a young but tempered set of pub-drinkers. There's a pick-up scene here, too, ut it's not overly aggressive. The menu of mostly pub fare is delivered inside the pages of a children's book.

Eh. A water hole for over aged frat boys.
by some1sricebowl
This bar feels like a water hole for over aged frat boys. I went with my girlfriend the one time and felt like we were being really harassed by these group of men who saw us exchanging hello kisses. Seriously? You're still doing that in your mid 30's? Grow up. The only reason why I would come to this place is to get some food to go, but even lately that has deterred me because the service has been so bad and slow. I feel like I constantly get overlooked when I'm waiting for a table and when I finally get a table, it just takes forever to order food or wait for it to come out. I've been here about 3 times and only 1 out of those 3 times had I've had a positive experience.

Don't Bother

The people that go there are lacking in quality and character. The food is poor - rather eat at a hoagie shop. Save your time and energy, don't bother with the place.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Everything
The Details on Bishop's Collar
Where To Sit:
On warm days, seating spills out onto the sidewalk.
The Extras:
Live music acts occupy a small back-wall nook that passes for a stage, and the bookings vary from jazz to rock to folk, which, due to the size of the venue, tend to dominate the room.
When To Go:
Two TVs are mounted above the bar for sporting spectators, and Sunday afternoon might well be the ideal time to visit for a lazy brew and the game.
