Alley Pub
Reviews
I went to see The Kentucky Lineman play on a Friday night. I never expected the place to be so packed but after my night there, I understood why. Not only was the music great, so was the food and the service. I went back to see The Kentucky Lineman again on a Friday night a month later (I live almost an hour away or I would visit more often) and the server remembered me and she even remembered my order from the time before. I WAS IMPRESSED!!! The only draw back for me is that they allow smoking inside. I know that's a good thing for smokers but it's not so great for the non smokers however, it was somehow ventilated so that it didn't cause me much distress at all. I plan to make many more return visits!
Don't know why someone would claim this bar is a "gay bar". It's an awesome bar with awesome people of all walks of life. Just like Bellevue its a great mix. Might see a Titan, a politician, millionaire, happy gay couple, or even a pissed off straight couple. The most important thing is everyone in the Alley Pub is there for good food drinks and a good time. You can get a cold beer anywhere, but good luck finding Juan Wings anywhere but the Alley Pub. The burgers are great and the french dip is perfect. My only issue is the size of some meals. Some are huge and filling but others like the french dip are tiny. It's mostly just the sandwiches that run a bit small. The burgers are huge. But I do have to call them out on their 2 for 1 beers. Any other time you go you get a beer it comes in a chilled tall glass but when it's 2 for 1's you get them in tiny plastic cups. I never tested this but my theory is it takes 2 of those small plastic cups to fill a tall chilled glass. And if that is not the case then why even change how the beer is given? And I just realized it's Smokin' Monday so I'm gonna go grab some smoked BBQ and catfish. See ya there.
Ehhhh just not my scene. If you're into gay bars, you'll love it. I had no idea that, that's what it was when I went in there. I realized it was a gay bar when the bartender, Zane (probably just a name he uses while at work, can't be real) came over and started talking to us. The bald head, smedium shirt and jail house tattoos was a dead give away. That and his lisp. And the" I love dick" hat he was wearing. Drinks were good, didn't try the food. Apparently the" Juan Wings" are good though. Unfortunatly there is only a backdoor entrance. (Get it?)
The service is terrible. The owners act like they have something to prove. And by the looks of it, they do...
