Lovely courtyard where is to dance nice music. Little expensive on the beer
The acoustics inside aren't made for music but it's beautiful ❤️

The Allies Pub – Chico, CA
Atmosphere & Setting We found The Allies Pub tucked into the heart of downtown Chico at 426 Broadway St., Ste 130—a charming hideaway that artfully channels the feel of a traditional British pub.  Inside, you’ll notice cozy touches: warm lighting, décor nodding to British pub-heritage (including artwork of English bulldogs), and a welcoming vibe.
While the menu is relatively compact, there’s a sense of focus and quality over quantity. One minor caveat: a few diners mention the price point being on the higher side for pub fare—but the consensus seems to be that the ingredients and preparation justify it.
Beverages & Service The Allies also shines in its beverage offerings. It’s part of the larger framework of the British Bulldog Brewery, so there’s an emphasis on craft ales, rotating taps, and even some British-style cask options.  Service consistently receives praise: staff are friendly, attentive, and draw compliments for their knowledge of both food and beer.
Final Thoughts We’d rate The Allies Pub as a strong choice when you’re in Chico and craving a well-crafted pub experience—not just in food and drink, but in ambiance and service, too. It’s particularly well suited for: • An evening out with friends where you want more than just “bar snacks.” • A date night on the patio with good beer and comfort food. • Beer or pub-food aficionados looking for something out of the standard chain model.
Recommendation: Make a reservation if it’s a weekend evening—they get busy. And if the weather allows, opt for patio seating; it’s a real highlight.

Live music and make excellent food! I ate the Hodge Podge dish and it was perfect board of food and flavors that went exceedingly well together, from blueberries and strawberries to the falafel and dipping sauce was just absolutely amazing!

Very amazing food and love how it is piping hot and freshly made. The atmosphere is very relaxing and some days there is live music playing. Perfect place to relax and enjoy British food.

They had a great live band. The server's were amazing. We sat outside in a fully covered tent but we stated warm in the cool weather.

The pasties are AMAZING. The crust/pastry is absolutely divine. The chicken curry filling was delicious. I tried the beef one my boyfriend ordered and that was also very good. Can't wait to come back and try more items. (I never thought I'd feel that way about British food, lol.)
The patio is stunning, though it's currently too hot outside for me to take advantage of it.
The lady at the bar/register was very friendly and helpful.
I'm not a beer fan, so I can't comment on that, but the hard pomegranate-apple cider I had was good.

My first time ….will definitely be back….can’t speak to the overall food menu yet but really liked the setting and atmosphere….
Awesome pub with great food! Had the Rancher Pastry Topped Pie and a flight of their cold beer. Pie was flaky and the filling was delicious. Beer was great too! Definitely worth going back again!

Very unique British style pub. They had a band playing outside when I went and really good beer I've never seen anywhere else.
The food is also unique, I had dinner kind of pulled pork in a croissant or something, it was good.
I'd say the biggest draw is the environment and it just being a British style pub.
It was busy when I went and they only had one server so there was a huge line.
So when you order your drinks get a bunch
