We ordered a large Green Machine pizza and it was sooo darn tootin'. Added fresh grated parm and topped it off with my homemade pickled pepperocinis It was cheesy, the fresh ricotta was lovely and the crust...omg it was perfection. Also ordered the Caesar wrap with crispy chicken, it was very flavorful and HUGE. Wasn't a fan of the chicken though because it was very dry, so I'll get grilled chicken next time. Overall, I'd rate everything 9.2/10 The guy who picked up my call was very nice. Service, excellent. This was a pick up order--but upon walking inside, the whole place was packed and poppin' bc the World Cup was on. I'll come back and dine in soon!

We got a side of tater tots and the Nellie's sandwich, which was really good. The fries were…read morefreshly made--simple salt seasoning, but it brought out that fresh potato flavor. The tater tots were also made fresh, and the portion was huge--definitely enough to share between three people. I also tried one of their ciders on tap (forgot the name, unfortunately), but it was really good. I'll definitely be back for the cider alone. The show that night wasn't really my type of music--I'm not into heavy metal--but I get the appeal for those who are. There was a $20 cover at the door, which I didn't know about, and honestly felt a bit pricey for the experience. Maybe I would've enjoyed it more with a different genre. That said, the bartender was super nice and helpful with drink options!

Large appetizer selection which is fitting for the bowling folks, other offerings are several burger and chicken sandwiches plus pizza. Several tv's mostly on the small size around the bar with a couple larger in the dining area. Burger and pizza on this visit was just okay. Food was served hot but was nothing special. The bartender was very pleasant and we enjoyed her company. They have a huge pool table room which was holding a weekend tournament that was fun to watch along with about forty bowling lanes. Two stars for the bar/restaurant.

The upstairs was spacious - had a dedicated bar, a kickbutt bartender and really really reasonable prices! I got some premium tequila for $9 a shot. Beers were $5-$6.

Apparently there is a very large urinal but I clearly did NOT see it for myself lol.

If you want a table while watching your favorite band, come early and grab a seat! It fills up quickly. Good is served and service is fast! Delicious options and great drinks at a decent cost.

I could tell that people truly enjoyed. There's even a small dancing area up front. The food and drink are decent. The servers work hard when it's busy - yet manage to keep friendly. The only downside is that there is a section where you can't really see the stage (about 1/4 of the inside area).

They're known for their incredible burgers, but I love that they have a seasonal menu with great food and drink specials. There's always something new to try alongside the rotating craft beer selection. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. I recently stopped in for brunch after the Saturday Farmers Market, and it was excellent! It's the perfect way to start the weekend. The atmosphere is the best of both worlds--family-friendly while still being lively and energetic, especially if you're there to catch a game. They also have a beautiful private dining room that's perfect for hosting large parties, celebrations, showers, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, or other special occasions.

Would have loved to see happy hour or day time specials especially during the summer to bring in peeps. Very empty for Monday 2/3p during World Cup. Definitely has the potential to be a fun place. Food: Cheese Curds and spicy shrimp apps were tasty and great - 5/5. "Smashed" burger was not smashed at all lol no crispy edges and too thick for a smash burger. More like a normal double cheeseburger in my book. Added a Charred jalapeño - was awesome Onion bun also not the right vehicle for smash burger - top bun was burned and rock hard - so ate it open style with.knife and fork as a soft Potato Bun is what you ideally need for a smash burger. Really disappointing that the chef put out food with a burnt bun when the place is only 10% occupied. Burger was 4/5 but 2/5 as a "smashburger." spicy buffalo chicken wrap - 4/5 Grilled Chicken salad - 4/5 Mac and cheese -4/5 Fries were like the battered type and not crinkle or skinny. 4/5. Dip sauces were all great- good honey mustard, buffalo, blue cheese, and ranch.

This was our 1st time trying Alley 64 Bar & Grill and we thought it would be a typical bar & grill…read moremeal, but holy smokes we were happily proven wrong. Alley 64 didnt just beat most of the competition around, it raised the bar. For me, its important that my waiter/waitress is down to earth and kind. Theres nothing better than having a great meal at a restaurant that makes you feel as if you are a friend visiting for dinner. I understand not everyone is a people person that enjoys more than small talk with their waiter and thats cool, but for me its an important part of the experience and our waitress (Tabitha) was fantastic. Thank you, Tabitha From the second you step inside, the vibe is pure, unadulterated comfort--zero pretension, all welcome. The instant hook? A background soundtrack of late-90s alternative hits that immediately had me nodding along. Okay, the crown jewel of the night my ribeye sandwich paired with a side of old-school, ultra-crunchy onion rings. This sandwich is an absolute masterpiece cooked to my liking. Seriously, for a bar & grill I didnt expect this kinda flavor and deliciousness from a steak, but holy yum it was a big portion of meaty perfection! Not to mention the lightly toasted ciabatta bread it came on topped off with grilled mushrooms, onion straws and Alley 64 sauce (damn good) with a crisp pickle & sweet coleslaw. I hope everyone who gives this place a try enjoys Alley 64 as much as we did. CHEERS!

The family that owns this wonderful tiki bars has put some serious work into adorning the place with amazing tiki decor. And this has to have taken YEARS to do. The outside of the building does not say, "Hey!! I'm an awesome tiki bars!!" But step inside and you are transported to tiki land extraordinaire. And then there is the staff there.

When I came into this bar a guy named Charley was extremely rude, first thing he said was "can I help you?" very aggressively and I told him just came in for a beer, he said "not with that dog" I told him he's a service dog, also showed him his ID and he said that it doesn't matter because service dogs aren't welcome either. There was 1 other person in this bar, so this guy was clearly allergic to making money, at the same time doesn't know the laws of service animals. Will not go back here again.
