Really enjoyed the experience food and service was great. Nice atmosphere and cozy.

The food was really good. Connecticut Is stepping up with their pubs

Food was good, staff is fabulous

Sat at the bar Mon 2/21/22 around 5pm. Food is good but the bartender looked like she wasn't in a good mood. Weirdly she was very attentive to my boyfriend but she completely ignored me. I ordered a drink that says it contains strawberries but she forgot about it and when I was trying to get her attention she kept ignoring me until my boyfriend asked her for another drink and a water for me. Very unpleasant vibes towards me even tho I barely spoke to her. I work in the food service too and I can assure I can be better server/bartender no question.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food

Connecticut really seems to be in love with the ski lodge, bougie pub vibes. That is by no means a negative, but I can think of close to 10 restaurants I've been to in the Danbury/Woodbury area that are similar in theme. Prime Pub is right by the chaotic meeting of Routes 7 and 84, and I imagine this is not a pleasant place to drive around in circa rush hour; luckily, I had the foresight to come for a weekday lunch. The interior is very spacious - high ceilings, oodles of high-top tables and plenty of room to roam. It's tough to feel cozy with so much space to work with, but this place masters that delicate balance well.I decided to warm up the cheeks with the Strawberry Bourbon Smash ($12.50), featuring bourbon (of course), strawberry puree, lemon juice and rhubarb bitters. It was good, but not great - you can sense the potential, but it's lacking something to offset the sweet tartness (maybe ginger beer?). As a result, it reminded me a LITTLE too much of cough syrup. I thought the dried strawberry garnish was a nice touch and I might consider ordering it again, but I wasn't blown away.For my entree, I went with the lamb burger (I think about $18.50) on the specials menu, which had feta cheese on it. The lamb was very tasty, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the feta cheese complemented the animal. I ordered it medium rare and it was probably closer to medium, medium well. As a result, it was a bit dry but still a solid burger. The fries it came with were perfectly crispy - I was a big fan.My dining companion had the prime Kobe patty melt ($15.99), which she said was cooked perfectly, medium rare, but the cheese was a bit tasteless and gooey. Her tater tots were excellent, and the vanilla creme brulee was good ($9), but slightly overcooked/dry. I thought the price point for all items was pretty on par for the area and restaurant type.The service was excellent, no issues there. Our server was attentive/friendly and stopped by on a regular basis throughout the meal. The bathroom was clean and had one of my favorite public restroom features - the water pump faucets that remind me of Little House on the Prairie. As an aside, the handicapped stall was one of the best equipped I've ever seen, with four different bars to hold onto, as well as a conveniently located flush chain. I didn't have a use for that stall, but anyone who needs to should have a fine time of it.Everything I sampled from the menu was on the verge of really good or great. Given that they have the intangibles down (namely the service and atmosphere), they're on the cusp of being one of the best destinations in the Danbury area.

This place was great. Good food, good service and overall a great place to eat. It was pretty cold inside but that was my only complaint.

My husband called to make a reservation, but was told at 5:30 they were not accepting reservations until later. He was assured that there would be no problem with seating. We arrived about 20 minutes later and were told that all tables were reserved so the only table available for us was a table for 2 directly outside the kitchen and in the pathway of every server who exited there. As we ate the other tables remained empty and some of the tables were separated into 2 person and 4 person tables to accommodate others while some tables remained empty! When we left a table in the bar that we inquired about had only 2 guests when we were told it was reserved for a party of 6. Needless to say we will not be eating there again and that's sad because the food is good, our waitress was VERY nice.and we have visited Prime Pub often. But never again!!!

Burgers here are fantastic!!!! Definitely try them when you visit!

Overall a great experience! Food and service are amazing!
