Typical drivey bar. Pretty good food and the service really depends on who you get. Sometimes it feels like the bar is mainly for friends of the bartenders and if you say the wrong thing you might get in a fight, but they have retro NES and SNES to play.

I've had a couple of experiences with this place. The first time I stopped in was earlier in the afternoon and there was only one other patron. Looking around, the atmosphere was fantastic. The place had a super funky vibe with a pool table and a pinball machine, a very interesting menu, and a very friendly bartender. I felt as if I had found a decent new chill spot.
When I stopped in on a different day later in the evening, the atmosphere was way, way different. The vibe was very much like walking into a private clubhouse where you're not a member, and everyone spins in their seat and stares you down, giving a very clear message that you're on their turf and maybe it would be better if you left.
Lots of potential here, but apparently they're satisfied with the customers they have, and they aren't interested in cultivating new relationships.

Not too bad of a hole in the wall. Cold beer and food on the menu. Can't ask for much more from a bar.

Collan was on food, 10/10 for wings.. every single sauce is house made, including ranch and blue cheese. French fries are fresh cut and fried- never frozen! So delicious. They had a special running for a Cuban sandwich- including in house smoked pulled pork! This place knows how to combine an alternative dive-bar feel with excellent food. Roxy was our bartender who immediately remembered our drink order, always had a good vine and great music playlist. The Alleyway bar is very welcoming for all types of folks. Shared lots of laughs with the regulars. WILL COME BACK!!
top tier wings, the cubano sandwich is also the best cubano i’ve ever had, bartenders are friendly with excellent service, great atmosphere will 10/10 be back

Casual Dive with an art-y atmosphere and lots of fun creative types. Great menu (for both veg and non-veg), large covered patio, pool table, Photo Booth, and the occasional punk show.

I only stopped in to use the restroom but everybody there looks very happy that atmosphere felt well peaceful and fun lots of people had good looking food on their plates and it wasn't overcrowded they also let me use the bathroom without buying anything and without giving me a hard time which is saying something.
