I have been coming to The Manx for 10 years and it has always been the perfect neighborhood pub. The kitchen provides gluten free and vegetarian options even though the menu is small. Portions are reasonable, but quality is always excellent. The front of house staff is welcoming, friendly, and makes sure you're happy.
They did a bit of a refresh, although, it's barely noticeable, just feels fresher. The only true disappointment is the poster in the men's bathroom is gone. I feel like they ripped out a kidney, it's surviving, but it's not whole.
