Great for craft beers

Allen's is reminiscent of a New York City saloon from ages past. The tin ceiling, the wood floors and the cozy old bar make it an experience in itself. Yet Allen's also has a fabulous menu that is sure to inspire and delight.

With more than 300 kinds of whisky, more than 100 wines and over 140 beers, it will satisfy your need for liquid refreshment. The food is pub fare improved thanks to the reliance on organic and locally raised meats and careful preparation. Burgers, salads, soups and so much more await those who pay a visit to Allen's.

Staff was great, attentive and accommodating. Food was perfect in taste and portions. For a winters day, it was a little chilly but once it got busy with more customers it got warmer.

Wonderful dinner last night. SeTed at a nice table. Attentive service. My partner had liver and onions and raved about it. My sister had a terrific steak salad and I had a delicious pork chop. Dessert was ok. Drinks were on point. We will be back even though it is the other side of town!

The host very kindly changed the configuration of the tables for our group of five. Most helpful. Our server arrived right away and was very prompt. We like the variety of food choices on the menu, all our meals were very good.
