This bar is a five in its class - great dive bars. Found it on Yelp searching for late night food…read moreoptions near Whitehall. Arrived at 9:30. It was Karaoke night. Some talented and some not so talented regulars took the mic and definitely entertained us. This place has it all going on - great beer options, a limited but worthy menu, friendly wait staff and bartenders, and a good enough cook who can, no doubt, produce good versions of everything on the menu. We loved this place. Other Yelpers I read were enthusiastic about it calling it "a great Michigan dive bar. They weren't wrong. We were so happy with this place we went back the next night. I'm a fan. You will be too. Black and Blue burger was awesome - both nights. My friend had a patty melt on rye he liked - both nights. Karaoke nights are Thursdays abd Fridays.

Went back to the table and never were waited on at all . So went back to the bar and paid $3 cash for my previous drink and Told her to be sure nothing went on my credit card and she said it wouldn't. Well I got home and discovered they charged my credit card over $5 for something I already paid for . Terrible place !

It looked great but the taste was rather lacking. Didn't try the sandwich but was told it's probably better than the tacos. The service was attentive but sometimes felt like I was being inconvenient. The ambiance was typical while the pinball machines were very fun and added to the atmosphere.

This is so NOT how anyone has ever treated us here. Also, this was my first time sitting outside... nothing nice about it. Has a yard for the kids to run around and tents for shade. This one bad visit won't stop me from returning, but damn... kind of a let down.

They have a wide variety of beers and and when we spoke with the server, he told us the philosophy of Pigeon Hill is to brew quality beers with consistent quality.

Definately worth stopping in , especially when the weather is warm to enjoy the outdoor seating area and the views.

Our group sampled nearly all the house beer varieties in flights and ordered more of our favorites. We ordered grilled cheese sandwiches for several of us, and one person ordered a Cubano. The sandwiches were good but the only side options were potato chips or potato salad, with a $2 upcharge for potato salad. One person in our group had a Greek salad, and she said it was very good, although the dressing was very vinegary. A nice visit.

The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

But The Alley Bar & Grill was Perfect for what we look for in small town places that don't have bells and whistles but everything else that matters. Great staff interacting with the customers, serving great food and drinks with a welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Sondra, and her fellow "chef" were working hard in the kitchen making the tastiest looking pizzas. It was a challenge to choose our food because we were really hungry. The menu is smaller but everything on it is high quality eats. I had cheese curds and tried the Pollock filet, crinkle cut fries and slaw; my friend had wings with buffalo sauce and the French dip, steak fries and slaw. I asked for another option for dipping and their cocktail sauce with the curds was a great combo. Although the ranch dressing tasted homemade. I'd never had Pollock before and I enjoyed it with malt Vinegar, generous portion lightly breaded and I almost finished before finding a few bones in the meatier part. I know it's expected but I have a quirk when I find a fish bone, I'm done. My friend's French Dip had a generous amount of meat, on a soft hoagie type roll and was "so delicious". This place had just about everything fun to do inside: beer pong, pool, darts, fooseball s as nd even a room/ stage in the back for live entertainment! We had the jukebox this evening, playing good classic rock and when it stopped my friend was going to fill it up with coins and keep it going. But we overheard Sondra encouraging a guy to, "Pick as many as you want to because it's free." Prices were $$ for the quality and portions of food, clean inside and atmosphere. We parked in the street and walked about 300 ft to the door, which has 2 steps to enter. I highly recommend that you go find out what's happening in The Alley, I bet you'll have a great time!
