Naples is large city on the central Gulf shore of Florida. The area was inhabited by an ex-Confederate solder and his colleagues in the 1880s. The weather and scenery reminded him and the newspapers of the Italian city of Naples, and the name stuck. The city is a common destination for travelers seeking a respite from winter weather. Its residents are also made up of many retirees from other parts of the country. Many English-style pubs exist in Naples for anyone who wants cold draft beer with his fish and chips.
The English Pub is a classic English-style bar and restaurant serving many imported beers from the United Kingdom. Many of the most popular entrees from throughout the U.K. are served, including shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, beef liver, meatloaf, corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew, and fish and chips. Burgers, chicken and additional seafood dishes are also available. The English Pub schedules many live music events throughout the week. In addition to music, the restaurant also creates engaging activities for its guests, including hermit crab races and quiz nights, which are similar to trivia games. Major sporting events, including rugby and soccer, are often displayed on the pub's televisions. The English Pub is open every day at 11 a.m. Closing times vary depending on activities.
