The ladies that run this joint are awesome. Peg served me buffalo chicken tenders with a side of fries, and even though my mouth was on fire, I enjoyed every moment. Peg was intrigued by my love of trains when she saw my video camera and so I started telling her about various different types of trains and how we can improve them for a better tomorrow. I run a YouTube channel in which I film trains with my Sony CX-405 and I have been doing so for the past 10 years. My channel handle is @ih8kone, so go and check it out.

Unfortunately, I ordered a LIT, which was very weak. Fish and Chips had no flavor (not even salt), which was disappointing. Even their Shrimp Tacos was a little off. Service was not bad but could have been better, considering that pub was mostly empty when we visited but our orders took awhile to be delivered.

Kill Kenny…read moreAleHouse definitely has that classic dive bar vibe--laid-back, unpretentious, and a great spot to hang out with friends or coworkers. It's also conveniently located near cultural and residential areas, making it a solid pre-game or pre-concert stop. They had happy hour going on, which is always a plus. Service was surprisingly attentive for a dive bar--we were hanging out in the back, and the staff still checked on us regularly, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was chill, exactly what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar. I had a glass of Merlot, which was decent, though in hindsight, a draft beer probably would've been the better move for the setting. As for food, I got the wings--big, decent, and satisfying, though not the best I've ever had. Still, they did the job. Overall, Kill Kenny AleHouse is a solid local spot if you're looking for a relaxed, no-frills place to grab a drink and some bar food. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and need a casual spot to unwind.

But after I gave it another shot later, I realized they take online orders. The estimated time here does seem to be off though, as I showed up about 5 minutes before the ETA and it was already sitting around being less hot. So maybe estimate picking up even earlier than that. When I came, the place was packed, but it was a game night. The kitchen/pick up area is way in the back, but I will say, their hot pretzel is fantastic. The flavor itself is good and crunchy, but with the cheese sauce, it was truly delectable. It was just pure thick cheddary liquid goodness. It also came with a mustard if you're that sort, but just the combo of pretzel and cheese makes for such a good and quick snack. They also have a trivia night promotion, so I'm interested in checking that out, but for bar food (even to go) is pretty solid.

The food is probably the closest you can get to actual Spanish tapas but what i love most about this place is that everythings got flavorrrrr For our table of 4 we got CROQUETAS with their house cured chorizo- very good POLLO FIORENTINA- chicken was so tender and packeddd with flavor! BARRIGUITA- plentiful serving for a tapa, we loved the potatoes it came with too CHICHARRON DE POLLO- flavorful chicken and easier to eat than you think TARTAR- delish but small Chipirones- sooo delicately breaded you can barely tell, was great COSTILLA A LA PLANCHA- plentiful for a tapa, we recommend cooking for longer since its traditionally a tough cut of beef SAUTED VEGETABLES- tastey and not mushy thankfully!

When I was there, they had a DJ playing, and it added energy without being too loud or overwhelming. The Service was very good, the waiter answered and helped with all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.
