    Friendly neighborhood pub with great burgers. Tap beer selection is great. Second visit the owner remembered my beer selection and the service is good. Now I eat lunch there once a week. Bar and high-top seating, no booths. Pool, darts and games with live music Friday nights.

    Busy place at 10 pm on Wednesday

    Wednesday night is hopping at Pally's! Grab a beer, the selection is great and have some pizza! The toppings are generous and well worth the price. Bring your patience there is usually only a bartender who takes table service as well.

    Lee's chicken with onion straws.

    my parents and I ent for lunch. very nice location, I was expecting. ore dive bar vibes, but it was nicer than a dive bar. Service was excellent. S has the meat pizza, it looked good but I didn't try it. i had Lee's chicken sandwich, it was very good. I got onion straws, they were ok, I'll try a different side next time. I plan in going back, so do my parents. i wantto try other menu options.

    I was greeted immediately upon walking in the door. That's a nice sign. She remains friendly the entire time. I had a drink within two minutes of walking in--they have a decent selection of crafts/locals versus domestics. I went with the Citrus Surfer the first time and availed myself of their Bloody Mary the second time. The contents include a pickle spear, olives, and a strip of bacon. I believe they used zing zang for the mix. Kinda sticky inside and a somewhat depressing atmosphere. Also an oddity occurred--a glass mysteriously fell off a nearby table with no one sitting there and it crashed to the floor. I did not partake in the food this time; I did upload their menu as of August 2023.

    Still looks a lot like Mickeys

    Have reviewed several times. Service is friendly and now they have tall boy cans! Thank you Pally's!

Meatloaf and Salmon entrees are regulars for us, but we've tried almost every sandwich and many of the other entrees, and they are always full of flavor and delicious. Salads are fresh and have very good quality lettuce and veggies. Dressings are good as well. Small bar with drop in seating, but it pays to get a reservation. They currently use Toast to take reservations and you'll get a reminder the day prior to your visit. Walk in's often find it challenging to squeeze in here! Service is always good and the bartenders make a good drink.

I ordered from the seasonal menu--so I'm not sure how long these dishes will be available--but the Roasted Cauliflower Salad and the Cajun Shrimp Alfredo were outstanding. Truly crave-worthy. The cocktail program is just as thoughtfully crafted; my personal favorite is the "Gone Sailin'." We're already looking forward to our next visit :)
