Market Cross Pub & Brewery was voted best pub in the area in 2015. The restaurant takes its name from the town of Carlisle, England, where a Market Cross was erected in 1682 and still stands today. In addition to its name, the restaurant takes inspiration from the sense of community in English pub culture. The brewery is located in the back of the building where a ten barrel open fermentation system (also brought over from England in 1933) produces excellent ales and lagers available in the pub. The menu features English pub favorites like cottage pie, bangers and mash and fish and chips.
