London has fog and pubs; so does Sacramento. One of the most popular British/European theme pubs in the area has a dark, antique, and generally cluttered atmosphere. It just calls for you to down a Guinness and toss a dart. You will find a good selection of European beers, stouts and ales to drink while relaxing in the private booths or scattered armchairs. Munchies include British favorites such as fish and chips or pasties
