The burger and fries were really good, and the cider was a good pairing. I originally asked for an Irish coffee, and Alan was very honest when he said their coffee wasn't good right now, but if I went and got legit coffee somewhere he's make it Irish for me.

We ended up all getting a table upstairs - I'm not sure if it was because we weren't by the front, but we did unfortunately experience really slow service. I personally ordered takeout and it was the last thing to come out. The cauliflower bites I did get were large and pretty chewy/soggy, so it was tough to eat. It was also hard to find an option choosing what to eat just given the menu was not as considerate of dietary restrictions. Great thing was how awesome and personable everyone there was!! I'm glad others enjoy their experience of the food offered :)

First, great music. Second, great beer…read more Third, great food. We stopped in on a dreary late afternoon after visiting the Tenement Museum at Henrietta street. The Beef Stew and Mac & Cheese was just what we needed! The Beef Stew was super flavorful, dark in color, nice bite sized chunks of beef (and plenty of them), and then a mound (!) of mashed potatoes on top. It was divine! The Mac & Cheese with pulled pork had a sweet-ish profile. Homemade Mac & Cheese is the base, and then pulled pork (in a BBQ sauce) is layered on top. THEN they sprinkle cheese over the whole thing to give it a nice crunchy top. They have beer flights ("taster trays") of the draft beer, plus cans available and even "casks" (which isn't on tap, and once opened needs to be drunk!) Last, the folks who work here are really nice and they seem to attract a very nice clientele. Plus there are games. This seems like a pretty special place all around.

Fish and Chips: Pretty standard. Crispy fish batter, flaky interior. Crispy chips and fluffy potato inside. The mushy peas where a bit too grainy and not that mushy actually.

Service: Excellent! Tip: no live music playing when we went there. I think it would be a great place for that. Also there is an upstairs outside, if the weathers nice I'd sit up there next time.

Initially, I sat outside but most of the tables had not been cleared and after about 5 minutes and no server appeared, I found a table indoors that was near a window. It's essentially a pub and the interior is quite dark and uninspiring actually. Still, it took a few more minutes before a server asked for my order. I decided on fish and chips (it's safe and predictable) and a raspberry beer. I actually didn't realize the beer would come in a can and I really wanted something on tap but it was good anyway. The fish and chips arrived a few minutes later and it was predictably delicious. I thought the portion was quite large. Fries (or chips) were especially tasty and crispy the way I like it. The place never got really busy, the tables outside didn't get cleared until I was about to leave and I watched a couple of people sit nearby and then get up to fetch a server when they realized no one was coming. So yes, service here can be really slow. Overall, tho, my meal was great and because it was mid-afternoon, ambiance was relaxed and relatively quiet.

I'm really a fan despite being biased to not like it before I ever entered the place. It is on the…read more"-1Floor" of the Conrad Hotel and seems to be closely associated with the Conrad brand (the credit card slip I signed showed "Conrad" across the top). However, you would never know it. I associate Conrad with high-brow luxury and this place is everything that the Conrad is not in a very good way. Whenever I am in a Conrad, I feel like if I am in anything less than a sport coat in a public area I am under dressed and being watched by their security personnel who are trying to determine if I am a homeless guy that managed to breach their flank and wander in. Walking into Alfie's, I think if I had been in a sport coat they would have thrown me out which makes this place great! After about 5pm, the first thing you really notice upon walking in is the noise coming from within. It is on the same level as the hotel gym so if you take the elevator down, you walk off and hear a lot of vocal noise coming from the back door leading into Alfie's. It is loud but in a friendly, social way and it really draws you in because it is clearly the sound of a lot of people having a really good time. I had the opportunity to be here on a few different weeknights and they are all the same and it struck me that most of the people in the place were not from the hotel. They seemed to be from the area businesses enjoying themselves after a long day. The other thing you notice upon entering is the incredible 2-sided bar that lies in the center. Side 1 has a long row of beer taps and they have a lot of serious, specialty beers. I'm not a huge beer guy so I have no idea what 3/4 of them were but the bar staff took great pride in directing me towards their recommendations. They also always have a "hand-pulled cask" beer that changes all the time. Really interesting because it is non-carbonated, lower alcohol and room temperature the way that old style beer used to be served in the Kingdom. Gave me a real appreciation for what people in 1600 had to drink. The bar staff are also very happy to allow you some samples if you have a hard time making a decision. Side 2 features whiskies. Many whiskies. Enough said. There is decent background music, lots of group conversation, and I'm told sometimes live music but I did not get to witness that during my visits. The food is mostly pub stuff with a couple of steaks and salads as well. All of it is comforting and tasty but the liquid menu here is really the thing. There is a "Beer Can Chicken" on the menu that requires you to call ahead a couple of hours to have them start it for you which I found a little odd since this does not seem like a place that you think about calling ahead to come to. I did not see anyone having it so I'm guessing I am right and no one "plans ahead" to come here as a destination. They do seem to show up here though and stay until the wee hours. Because of my jet lag, I go to work out around midnight and have to walk by it to the gym. In doing so, it is still pumping out the social noise as if no one plans on ever going home. The thing I really like about this place is that it allows me to stay in a stuffy, luxury hotel but take an elevator down to decompress and act like a normal person where I can dress down, eat with my hands, and slouch in my chair if I feel like it all in the setting of a fun, social, and drink-driven atmosphere. An unexpected concept from The Conrad that seems to really work well!

The tartar sauce was also very unique, almost a tartar/mustard sauce, and it went well with the fish. The ambiance is very hipster, but I enjoyed the lunch and would visit to try more cocktails.
