It's hard not to love a pub that uses old library books as menus. On our last visit we found the list of sandwiches (and perhaps more importantly, beers) pasted inside the back cover of a children's book salvaged from a public library. A friendly, if occasionally yuppie, crowd calls this place home most every night of the week. And we can see why. Plenty of beers are available on tap; the food is tasty and not too pricey; the atmosphere is welcoming. There's a jukebox with just enough room for groups to huddle around while selecting tunes, a sit-down area in the back, a decent-sized bar, and a church pew—yes, a church pew—at the front door. The Bishop's Collar also serves a Sunday brunch (right after church of course), and during warmer weather it's a nice place for a sidewalk meal. Just one warning: don't expect to have a quiet conversation here. We don't know if it's the wooden walls making an echo chamber, or the shape of the place, or what, but it doesn't take more than a few patrons to bring the noise up to a near-painful decibel level. Expect cacophony.
