Went to the Metropolitan after work the other night with colleagues for a few drinks and a meal. Firstly, the drinks. Excellent range of beers on tap and bottled craft beers as well. That's about all I can write about because that's about all we had! The average cost of a pint was somewhere between $10 and $11 so not too bad. Some of the trappist-style beers were around $14 I think, but they were poured at the table into the most unique beer glasses I have ever seen, so that was an experience.
The meal itself was delicious! I had the lamb osso bucco and certainly didn't regret it - it was perfect, with the meat falling away from the bone at the slightest touch. The rest of the table had parma (huge!), pizza, and steak, all of which were devoured.
The service was fast, but a little lacking at times in the personality stakes, but that said they met our every needs so hats off to them. The seating area is pretty generous - they aren't cramming tables and chairs in, so you've got some room which is nice.
The one downside I can think of is that the toilets are all the way upstairs. Great if you want to work in a little cardio into your drinking and dining session, but most of us probably aren't too interested in that.

Approximate cost: $19

Went to trivia here on a Thursday night. We had one disappointing meal on the table which was fixed once asked. Other than that everyone finished off their plates. The prices for both meals and drinks are higher than other places with similar food.

Approximate cost: $20

A corporate pub experience. This place is friendly and fast. The atmosphere is upbeat.
Food is limited in options, and not very many vegetarian options (as you would expect from bistro pub. Good value though.

Approximate cost: $20
