FSH Bucket List of Best Bar #6 Khyber Pass Pub


When Kevin picked us up, Rich and I expressed our skepticism of a place called the Khyber Pass Pub.  After a quick Google search, I found the Khyber Pass connects Afghanistan and Pakistan through the mountains. Part of the trade route on the ancient Silk Road, the Khyber Pass saw invaders such as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan.  Hmmm…we were all curious how good this place could be.  Then Todd stepped in the car and assured us that the food was amazing.  He works nearby and returns frequently with his coworkers.  Jeanne and Lisa met up with us in Old City.


Since we have a FryarSheehanHofmann (FSH) trip planned for New Orleans in a few months, we were happy to discover that this pub had a NOLA vibe.  Southern style foods including Po’ boys, mac n cheese, pulled pork, brisket, fried chicken, nachos, sweet potato fries.  Usually I hate smoky bars, but this smoke was intoxicating.  Todd had a burger, but the rest of us surrendered to the lure of the bbq aroma.



Ratings: 

Vibe:  What a pub should be. Maybe a bit divey, but, to us, that’s a good thing.
Server:  Kind, efficient, friendly.
Drinks:  The guys loved their American IPAs. I got my usual Malbec but regretted not getting the Bloody Mary. Next time, and there will be a next time.
Food : A+.  OMG, we were all blown away. Tasty, tender, tangy, done just right.  The Mac and Cheese was glorious.  I’m not even going to rank the friendship because Jeanne joked that this time the food trumped the friendship.  Kidding…I think.

44 to go!
