Harley's Pub and Perk

When you are driving through small towns on a Thanksgiving Day you are bound to find it difficult to get an eating place open. Hungry as we were our return trip from Torbermory to our home just did not throw up one. We were okay with ANY eating place.

And as we drove on the main street of this little wonderful town of Mildmay saw the OPEN sign on this pub. The main door did not inspire us at all. (you will see the image below) But we were hungry and we wanted to eat. So we entered the place.

The inside of the place was a complete difference. It did look old and had a lot of artifacts that were very dated. We were told the building the pub stood on was built in the 1800s and the SAME FAMILY owned the pub for over 100 years !!!! Wow...... no wonder the place had such a character about it. Everything inside was very good and belied the impression made by the door.

The server we got was very friendly. We wanted some local beer which she suggested off the tap and these were amazing. The food was amazing. Well prepared, well presented and very tasty. The overall ambiance was phenomenal

If you ever want a great watering hole in a charming small town, with a lot of character and one that whets your appetite, Harley's is SURELY the place to go.

If ever I pass through Mildmay again, a pit stop at Harley's will be a done thing.

The food was all right, we had a long wait to get our food though.

Super cool historical building from the late 1800s. Awesome atmosphere and food.

Good food and drinks service/ manners seem to be declining. Didn't even get to order food last time. Had some drinks waiting for others to show 2 people from the group left the rest went to order food and the waitress slammed down the remaining bill rudely so it was paid for and supper was bought else where
