Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Charming

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.

Had no issues accept for the incredibly hard booth seating, would a cushion be out of the question? I’m not getting any younger, don’t you know?!?! Allen’s did not disappoint!

The menu is very diverse with multiple food choices. Our food arrived promptly even though all six of us ordered different dishes. The meals and service were good. The only downside was the noise in the restaurant which made it difficult to have any conversation. We wouldn’t describe the noise level as “energetic” - just too loud. Perhaps Allen’s could discontinue playing recorded music? It doesn’t work, as people have to talk over it.

We had a delicious dinner with wonderful service. We took advantage of the warm night and sat on the back patio under the trees. A great evening!

Had lunch with two friends who have both dined with me at Allen's in past. All staff and servers made us feel welcome. We each had a different main and each was delicious and creatively presented. Jake was our server and he was both efficient and charming and he presented us with a choice of 3 specials, which are always makes it hard to choose even though I had settled on my choice from the regular menu. Allen's never disappoints.
