Aliotas Pub & Grill

there jambalaya is fantastic. Had a small sample at Beerfest and came in last week to have some more. They also have bags to play outside or inside now. I'm getting better. A fun time all around!

This is a family owned place and it shows. It's run with care and a real respect for the value of local customers.  They have a great draft selection for such a small place and I think they really do a great job.  For those of you who want special treatment and used to give 4 stars and now give one... Imagine if you asked McDonald's to start carrying onion rings or Subway to start selling BBQ ribs just because your preference is to have them on the random occasion you patronize their place... They'd laugh you out of the building... Have some perspective, liquor costs real money and Aliota's is trying to make it in a neighborhood where there is virtually no support for a small pub and grill.  They provide a great fish fry and many beverage options but get slandered because you can't drink exactly what you want when you go there twice a month!?!

Customer service is about he whole experience not breaking the bank for every whimsical request each customer makes.  Next time you're there leave an extra $35 (Myers dark rum at cost) and ask them to keep the bottle in house just for you and I bet they'd be happy to.  

This place is great and they work hard to make very little profit in a community where most people are in bed by 11pm.  Get over yourselves and support locally owned and operated businesses or keep your whining to yourself.

Oh the dissapointment!  

I really wanted to find a decent place just a few blocks from home, but it was not to be.

Came on a Friday night.  Asked if they had any Friday drink specials and was told they did not.  Ok, look down at the beer menu and my husband points out to the sign that says Friday has a Martini special.  I point this out to our server.  She tells me that it's only after 8....Confused, I tell her it IS after 8.  I then ask if it  is specific Martinis and off she goes to get another menu....Let's just fast forward and say the Martini was horrible.  

So,  I end up ordering a beer after all...well..several..because everything I asked for they no longer had.  She proactivly crossed these off the menu, so the next customer wouldn't have to go through the dissapointment as one after another choice was shot down.  

We also ordered the Fish Fry.  Me Haddock.  Him Perch.  Both with "potato pancakes"  Fish was standard fare.  Potato pancakes we're closer to hashbrowns, but not the good kind.  They were soggy and sad.  Coleslaw was good tho'

I've been told they make a pretty good burger...I may give it a try someday I'm walking back from the Estabrook Beer Garden!
