The Scene
Narrow, dimly lit quarters, dark walls and antique furniture give the place an Old-World feel. Add a dash of European sports in the form of flags, trophies, banners and dartboards, and you've got the ideal neighborhood drinking spot. Grab a cold one and a copy of the Irish Herald or the Union Jack, and slide into one of the pub's tall, private booths or cozy up in an oversized plush armchair. Transplants and travelers from Europe often crowd the bar to catch football or rugby games while chatting up their mates. The rest of the crowd is made up of blue-collar workers and a younger beer-guzzling crowd.
The Draw
Order traditional Brit fare like pasties, fish and chips, or bratwurst and wash it down with anything from oatmeal stout to strawberry ale.

A refreshing change from the noisy, bright lights of today's bar scene. The Bonn Lair, is filled with character, charm and charming characters. The bar staff are friendly, engaged and never leave you wondering where your next drink is coming from. The owners are ever present and never fall short with their warm greetings and unparalleled hospitality. The food is good, truthfully not top class restaurant, but it does the trick. You have a few beers and need some sustenance, this menu will do the trick. Simple fair at decent prices. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Bonn Lair is a small, warm, cozy space to have a pint of ale and have a bite. The bartenders are extremely nice. And the atmosphere makes it nice to come in the afternoon. Or on Sunday, and Sunday night is Trivia Night . (It sounds funky but it was a gas). Try it. We sat at one of the high booths, what makes it nice is that you feel like you're in a private area sitting there. The Lair has wine and a good selection of imports including Affligem, Carlsberg, Stella Artois, and Bass. Definitely a great place to chill.

I just had to review this place after having such a good time. The atmosphere is cozy and the crowd is kick back. Not a young college group at all. It's a great start to a girls night out or a couples date. The mixed drinks were perfect every time as well as the bartenders. Cool hangout to add to your list of bars.
