Firkin & Crown
440 Peachtree Parkway, Cumming; 678.845.7997
Canada's benign reputation's fairly astounding when you
consider the cultural destruction their exports have
wrought, from Rick Moranis, to hockey, to basically anything
that isn't Van Wilder. Now they've finally sent us something
good: Firkin & Crown.
A franchise of Toronto-based Firkin Pubs, F&C merges the
chatty merriment of a British pub (dark hardwood floors,
cushy red seats, regal-red carpeting) with the
shouting-at-the-television of an American sports bar (15
flatscreens!). The gut-busting menu veers from traditional
"favourites" (corned beef & cabbage; bangers & mash), to
not-healthy sandwiches (burgers, beer-battered "Fish-wich"
on toasted bun), to entrees like Jameson-glazed grilled
salmon, to fat hot dogs like the "Knife & Fork Chicago
Style": 1/2lb of Hebrew National beef veggie'd up by being
"dragged through the garden" (also, how the Knicks get Eddy
Curry on the court). The booze arsenal includes 16 drafts,
from domestics (Sweetwater 420, Yuengling), to brews from
the UK (Boddingtons, Bass), Germany (Warsteiner), and
Ireland (Smithwick's, Guinness, Harp); there're also oddly
un-pub-like cocktails like the "Partida Margarita", the
"Mango Rush" (Abs Mango, lemonade, cran juice), and the
"Feckin' Apple" (whiskey, sour apple, cran), plus coffee
drinks like the creme de cocoa & Frangelico "Firkin Crispy
Crunch" -- clearly named for the cracking sound of your
brittle ego when other guys notice you enjoying a "Firkin
Crispy Crunch".
Crown rocks late night hours Thursday-Sunday, with an
abridged menu after 11pm that includes tenders, wings (hot,
BBQ, bourbon chipotle), and Irish Nachos -- refuse to share
them, and you'll be inducted into an NHL you can actually
get excited about, the Nacho Hoarding League.
Plenty of good Firkin meals on the menu, at
