Despite what its name may suggest, Elephant & Castle isn't a fantastical place with roaming elephants and stoic castles. Instead, this British pub, which is named after a 14th century legend, is responsible for bringing England's favorite dishes across the pond and onto your plate.

Traditional British recipes and more than 100 beers and Scotch whiskeys make this a popular spot for drinks or a meal. Stop in to fill your stomach with fish 'n' chips, shepherd's pie or bangers, beans 'n 'mash while throwing back a pint of Guinness, catching a live game of EPL football (better known to the Yanks as soccer) or resting your shopping-weary feet. Appetizers cost between $6-$21 and entrees $9-$22.

Average cost: $10-$20
