🎱 The Duke – What a Wonderful Surprise! 🎉

We stumbled into The Duke completely by chance after a visit to the doctor’s office across the street – and what a happy accident it turned out to be! We’d originally planned to eat elsewhere, but one glance at the menu pulled us right in. 😍 This place is oozing with character – with not one, but two pool tables, friendly staff, and a laid-back vibe that makes you want to stay all afternoon. 🎱🍻 We ordered a mix of dishes, and while the food was genuinely delicious (my pizza was gone in minutes! 🍕), there was a small hiccup: the meals didn’t arrive together. My main was finished by the time the second one made it to the table. A little timing tweak would make it perfect! ⏳✨ But let’s focus on the positives – the drinks were spot-on, the atmosphere was inviting, and you can really tell they’ve put heart into making this a go-to local spot. Then… enter the DJ! 🎧 For a few magical minutes, he spun some absolute tunes while setting up for his live session. We were totally grooving – and so sad when it stopped! That little taste of music totally elevated our afternoon. Honestly, I can’t believe I’d never been here before! We’ll definitely be back – hopefully on a night with non-stop music and good vibes. One small letdown: the graffiti in the restrooms was a bit off-putting. 🚻🎨 But hey, nobody’s perfect! #TheDukeSurprise #HiddenGem #PubGrub #PoolAndPizza #LiveDJVibes #LocalFavorite
