We've broken out in song together and have had great conversations. Even got invited to a kickback. The vibe is great! The bartenders are nice and the food is so delicious! I always get the wings and fries. The wings are always crispy which I love. I get them plain with the sauce on the side. In my pic, I ended up just pouring the sauce on them myself. And the fries, omg! They definitely have THE BEST FRIES. They come seasoned so you don't have to ask and fresh out of the grease! I had 2 blackberry whiskey sours. It was my first time having one and I really liked it. It was so cute and delish. I also tried an old fashioned. I didn't like that one at all lol but I gave it a shot. Great job Alley Cat!

It has been a minute (cough*25 years*cough) since I've been to what locals call a "dive bar." Alley…read moreCat Lounge is considered by many to be that, and I won't disagree...but let me tell you it is not the dingy, drab bar that I had pictured. It was fresh, clean, cozy, and had excellent service. Although I didn't get any food, I did get a couple of cocktails and they were not only delicious, but were also SO cheap compared to bougie bars that I've frequented. Don't tell anyone else how good the Alley Cat Lounge is, though, so I can still have a seat. ;)

I was lucky enough to grab a night where the 8oz filet, potatoes, and salad was only $17. My steak was cooked pretty good - I asked for medium rare but it was more like medium. The salad was larger than I expected and rather good. The mashed potatoes needed work - I'm a fan of real potatoes not just rehydrated flakes but for the price I wouldn't complain. The service wasn't 'warm' but they were attentive and everyone worked together.

The dining areas are cozy and clean. We were welcomed when we walked in and invited to sit anywhere. We took a seat at the bar. Our server, Katie, was genuinely friendly and attentive. The menu offers a mix of burgers, sandwiches, wraps and salads. A set of dinner entrees is available as well including daily specials. Daily drink specials are listed on a board. I ordered a bowl of their famous clam chowder. The chowder was delivered quickly and was nice and hot with croutons. The chowder is thick and creamy with a hint of spicy heat. I loved it There is plenty of parking in the strip mall. An outdoor patio is available. The bar is located only a block off 465, but there is no on ramp going north. I felt like I was near the coast. I'll be back. I hear the pork chops are phenomenal.

It has been over ten years since my original review of Fort Ben Pub, a locally owned pub and grill…read moretype establishment located in the Fort Ben area in the same strip center that includes Moo & Lou's Ice Cream and Phaya Thai. There's a wheelchair ramp in the middle of the building - I'll be honest, I don't quite trust it as I've noticed people in this parking area tend to block it without noticing it. There's also easy access from a ramp at the end of the building. Lawrence has done quite a bit to improve their curb cuts in this area, an area that has grown massively since my last review including 2-3 apartment buildings, a library branch, and an improved civic plaza. Fort Ben Pub itself is pretty accessible, though it becomes less so when it's packed (for example, my most recent visit was on a Friday karaoke night and accessibility was definitely more limited). There's two glass doors going inside the pub and, yes, they do offer a few tables on the sidewalk for outside dining. As you enter, you arrive in a large dining area with a beautiful bar to the right. The restaurant is decorated in warm woods with a few televisions of varying sizes and, on this evening, background music playing. On this visit, I was with a festival after-party that was placed off the main area in a smaller area that had two pool tables along with a variety of food/appetizers, etc. It's a cozy room that gave me a chance to check out the rest of the building. I did see the restrooms, which I would definitely not consider accessible - plan accordingly. I could possibly get in the door of the men's restroom, but it was quite tight and I have a smaller chair. This is a beloved place for a friend of mine who lives nearby and within walking distance. They treat her well. She was there during this visit, and I honestly just smiled at their clear affection for her (it's mutual). I love places that become community, and knowing this makes me want to return. That said, my accessibility concerns do somewhat limit my options. Fort Ben Pub does offer space for private events/groups and does catering. They have pool tables, Putt Putt live, Mega Touch, and Golden Tee and most of the sports network channels. While I'd tried both their tenderloin and burger in the past, I had a variety of items this time around due to the after-party, though not everything it seems was on the menu (or I'm just not recognizing it). As I noted previously and my friend also proves, the employees are super friendly and helpful. There are definitely times when it gets busy, though it's also pretty easy to come here during slower times. This particular visit was the first time I'd experienced accessibility issues. There's an awful lot to love here. I have to say that while I wasn't in the room with karaoke, the people were having a blast with such sincere enthusiasm that I was almost in awe. I've done karaoke one time in my life, and I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world to fuel another attempt. I also know from being close to the folks at Moo & Lou that these businesses watch out for each other - which I really like as it's a nice little safety factor. In the end, my star rating isn't changing but my appreciation for Fort Ben Pub has grown. This visit made me want to return in the near future, and it made me grateful for those places where you can get so comfortable that it feels like the people become part of your village. That's Fort Ben Pub.

The wings were very good... & I'm not a huge fan of buffalo wings. The chipotle dry rub was fantastic paired with the ranch sauce. The tenderloin sandwich may have been one of the best I've ever had. It was perfectly breaded, & so thick. It was also twice the size of my bun ... which is exactly how it's supposed to be. Fries were pretty good & plentiful. My SO ordered the crab cakes sandwiches and it looked good ... it disappeared quickly. I forgot to take pictures of the food before it was eaten. I wish this place was on the way home from work but I'll continue to make the effort to go there again soon because it was so good.
