Frog & Onion Pub and Restaurant

"When you think of the word pub, chances are you picture something like this place. Housed in the old Cooperage of the Royal Navy Dockyard, this causal bar-slash-restaurant is all about cozy atmosphere; there’s even a fireplace that was originally a forge used to produce iron hoops for barrels. The menu showcases comfort food—fish-and-chips, savory pies, and brisket with Yorkshire puddings—not to mention some local touches like the pepper jam served with red-onion rings. Enjoy a pint or two of ale, pilsner, or porter from the onsite Dockyard Brewing Company (the most established of the breweries on the island). The hoppy offerings change regularly."

"The Frog & Onion Pub has the unique distinction of being housed in a converted 18th-century stone cooperage where barrels were once built for the British Royal Navy. In fact, much of its purpose-built pomp is still on display, most notably in the main dining room, where a gigantic stone fireplace, once used by blacksmiths to forge galvanized iron hoops, is decked out in medieval-looking candelabras dripping with wax. International flags hang from soaring ceilings, collections of old glass bottles adorn wooden shelves, and old-school nautical artifacts decorate Bermuda’s most beloved west end pub." - David LaHuta
