About

The Cartologist is a dog-friendly pub that gets a lot of love for its atmosphere and staff, but it's another one that seems to struggle with consistency. When it's good, it's great—especially for brunch and Sunday lunch. When it's bad, guests complain about slow service, cold food, and cleanliness issues. It's a nice spot, but maybe check recent reviews before planning a big meal.
