Come and join us for drinks and lawn bowling after the rehearsal before the rehearsal dinner

On an ideal afternoon, the upstairs deck of Brit’s Pub, is packed with a mix of people — suit-clad businessmen, college students and families — recovering from the summer sun. Lawn bowlers of all shapes and sizes occupy the entirety of Downtown’s only rooftop bowling green, while beer and the scent of fish and chips permeates the patio. This is a familiar scene for the pub, which seems to be quietly converting Downtowners into anglophiles — those who love England and all things English — at a rapid pace, while also getting kudos from British expatriates. Located on the west end of Nicollet Mall, with it's rich, dark wood interior, Brit's is just what comes to mind when you think of a pub. Even better is when Brit's opens the rooftop garden, complete with 10,500 square-foot manicured English greens used for lawn bowling or, at other times, for outdoor screenings of British films.

If its a pub with international flavor that you're after, then stop by Brit's for some ale and scotch eggs. Take a look at the lawn bowling on the second level and the view of the skyline from the balcony on the third level. This winter Peter and Erica enjoyed watching an Australian cricket match on tv at Brit's with some Aussies in town for business.
