What People Say

Reviews highlight the friendly, attentive staff and great views of the golf course from the patio. Many guests rave about the generous portions and high-quality comfort food, especially the burgers, wings, and seasonal specials. The casual vibe and wide selection of craft beers also get high marks. Diners often mention that it’s a place you can “relax and enjoy without being rushed.”

Areas for Improvement

While the location is beautiful, some reviewers note that it’s a bit tucked away—so make sure you give yourself a few extra minutes to find it. Also, since it’s located at a golf club, it can get busy during peak golfing hours, which might mean a short wait for a table at times.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a comfortable, scenic, and satisfying spot to fuel up before a concert, 1741 Pub & Grill delivers with easygoing charm and solid American fare.
