This small English-inspired pub, located in a bit of a run down alley in otherwise toney downtown Palo Alto, offers a fine selection of imported and American beers, poured from 20 taps and a cask. They typically offer 4-5 very interesting rotating draft selections, plus an extensive and interesting bottle collection. The food menu includes English and American pub staples with a hint of Indian accent. There is a small outside space to allow patrons to take advantage of Palo Alto’s often superb weather.
Located just a few of blocks from the Palo Alto CalTrain station, Rose and Crown makes a great stop for regular commuters, visitors waiting for the once-an-hour weekend trains as well as local beer fanciers.

If you are coming from the north you will want to find and walk through the underground pedestrian walkway to get over to Emerson Avenue safely.
