Founding Fathers Pub Bar & Pub ·$$

Despite the name, Founding Fathers Pub does not harken back to those heady days of colonial tumult in the Americas. In fact, the building is from 1874 and the quaint pub/restaurant inside has only been in existence for a couple of decades. Nonetheless, former teacher-cum bar owner Mike Driscoll loves history, where he will regale you with stories and facts alongside craft brews and better-than-average pub-grub. On the walls you will see presidential portraits, national knick-knacks and memorabilia from Mike's own collection and one of the best things about Founding Fathers is the free nachos and popcorn. Everything else on the menu like sandwiches, burgers and salads, and don't forget to check out trivia night held the first Tuesday of every month, bring your thinking caps!

I've been to this pub numerous times and rather enjoy it as a place to bring and meet up with friends. A little divey and very local. But dear Lord, the draft beers tasted awful. And not just one type, all 3 different beers we got in our group were undrinkable. Not sure what's going on with the taps but I hope it gets figured out soon.

We made a quick stop for a drink at this little Buffalo pub. The inside is filled with historical items especially related to US presidents. We were told (by a barkeep at another bar) the proprietor would engage us with trivia questions related to US history and that was exactly what happened. There were only 6 people at the bar, and that probably helped, but the conversation really flowed easily as we all tried to answer various questions. A pleasant stop.

As. a presidential memorabilia collector I drug my family to the pub. It is decorated with portraits of American presidents. There is lots to look at.We were told the owner was on his way in and that was why we were there. He will offer you presidential trivia and enjoys being challenged with trivial questions. It may be nerdy but lots of fun. Pretzel bites were microwaved but drinks and beer were fine and reasonably priced. Fun times.

Was in town for Wing Fest, discovered Founding Fathers and decided to check it out. Really interesting place, small but has presidential memorabilia in every nook and cranny of the bar! The service and prices were good and they had free popcorn which was nice, and a small food menu as well. They didn't appear to have air conditioning as it was very hot in there, but overall definitely a unique experience and I would come back.

This really is a neat little pub so don't skip on the opportunity on grabbing a drink here. It had a healthy mix of very friendly folk, including the owner and cook. We had a few beers and took in all the cool Americana air. Worth checking out!
