The Standard Pub - (Near Modesto, CA)

5 /5 Jason Becht: Great local spot with a clean bar, solid beer list, and hearty food (the French Dip with au jus was on point). The vibe here is laid-back but can light up quick once the jukebox gets going — everyone’s singing, smiling, and having a good time. Nelson, the owner, is a genuinely cool and down-to-earth guy who makes sure everyone feels welcome. Definitely a place to make your regular stop.

4 /5 Melissa Monday: We dined at The Standard Pub for our daughter’s 16th birthday dinner. She wanted to try it and we were so happy! We will definitely return. Here’s what we loved: - Food was delicious! Because it’s a “pub” we weren’t expecting the food to be so good. Nothing was over cooked nor underdone. Prime rib dip was fantastic and the prime rib chili was out of this world! Mild spice and lots of flavor. Every plate was completely clean at the end of the meal. - Staff and service were great. We didn’t have to ask for refills or for service. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and very prompt. - Clean dining area and restrooms. It’s surprising how many places seem dingy these days but this place was spic-and-span. - Plenty of bar space over in the “bar” area. We look forward to returning to enjoy that area with friends! Things we would change if we could: - hard surfaces everywhere = really loud environment. It is a pub, we get that, but starting just before 7 (on a Sunday) the music volume was turned up and it became very difficult to have a conversation in the dining portion of the space. We attempted to come for dinner a few months ago but it was so loud we could hardly even hear ourselves talking to the hostess so we left to find a better fit for the purpose of our dinner - to talk. - lots of dark surfaces seemed to tamp down a good dining atmosphere. I assume these colors work best for the late night crowd.

5 /5 Leticia Carrillo: It was our first time having dinner here. We had a steak with garlic fries and chili beans we also order beer and a few hibiscus margaritas. Everything we ate was delicious the drinks were amazing. The service was wonderful the person that assisted us was very nice she provided wonderful service. Now the bar area was not extremely busy(Thursday night)but it looked like fun. There was people karaoking the vibe was pretty chill.

5 /5 stevie wright: Awesome spot here in Modesto, We have been to this place several times now and love it here. The Menu ( though not large) has some really great pub food which is delicious, the braised pork osso bucco is amazing, literally fall off the bone tender and tasty and the prime Harris ranch ribeye was cooked to perfection, they really know how to cook a steak. We have had several of their menu items and have loved everything we’ve ordered. The restaurant is split into two sides by a wrap around bar in the middle which boasts some very nice top shelf liquors, amazing tequilas, 16 taps and many bottled beers. One side of the restaurant is more cozy and upscale for nice romantic dinner but has large enough tables for groups and families, the other side is more of a pub type atmosphere with several large screen televisions and is one of the best places in town to watch sports. Absolutely love this place and will be going often, definitely worth a try.
