Seems like a good spot to be during a patriots game. I can imagine how alive it'll be. The decor has an old neighborhood bar vibe. The space is dimly lit. I was craving wings and found this place. They have their own flavors and spices. The wings were fried nicely, crispy yet still juice. Service on this day was a bit slow but the waiter Let me know that they were behind a little. During service they had some technical difficulties, no fault of their own. I'll be back to try their other flavors.

Half priced wings (secret sauce garlic parm mixed with one of their buffalo flavors), buffaque and Asian sticky with fries with Cajun rub

St James is one of those iconic places in Fall River! Basement Irish pub with the best wings in the city hands down. Staff is always friendly to give suggestions and definitely not your typical restaurant, has even a countdown to st pattys day every year! Definitely a place to check out as they have monthly specials for rubs for wings/fries and a burger of the month! Live music and plenty of TVs to catch your favorite game

Classic Fall River Spot This unique Irish pub is located in a basement, but don't let that fool you. The atmosphere is great, cold drinks and hot food. Try one of their 5 different levels of hot wings or the Juicy Lucy Hamburger. Wife ordered a delicious pastrami sandwich. They usually 9 or 10 draft beers on tap and a great bar staff. Great spot to watch a game or run the jukebox. Thanks

Sports bar with very good wings. Everyone told us to try them and they were amazing. They have lots of different sauces to try from and we got a few on the side. All of them were amazing. Great place to watch the game as well with lots of TVs. Has a sports bar vibe but the food looked good. Service was not over friendly but was quick. Large bar area!

I got the O'Neil Buffalo sauce .

It is a seat yourself restaurant. The waitstaff was greeted us quickly, and immediately took our drink and food order. Our drink and appetizer got to us quickly . The beers and cocktails here are cheaper than almost anywhere I have been recently. The wings here are as great as everyone says. I got the O'Neil which is in the middle of the heat range of the Buffalo sauces . It was the perfect amount of heat for me. It slightly gave me a burning sensation on my lips but it also had great flavor with the heat. The wings were also a nice size , really juicy with lots of meat. Even though they were drenched in Buffalo Sauce it's coating still had that crispy crunch.

Molasses and Burbon Wings and Rotisserie Sweet and Spicy. You will NOT go wrong!

Always freezing. Wings are pretty good but sometimes underdone. Fried pickles are good and the sauce is great.

The Britney Spears in the family compared to the Tipsy Seagull's Jamie Lynn Spears, the Toboggan is a bit elevated -- and not just because it's slightly above sea level. Is the food incredible?

When I walked in, I stood in the waiting area for about 10 minutes waiting to be seated. The restaurant was not busy, and there were two servers sitting at the bar chatting with the bartender who clearly saw me but did not acknowledge or greet me. A simple "Hi, we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Eventually, the bartender (a tall young man) approached me without greeting me and started walking upstairs. He then turned around and said, "I forgot a menu," as if it was an afterthought. When we got upstairs, he placed (more like tossed) the menu on a table that still had a dirty cup on it that looked like someone had just been drinking from it. Instead of addressing that, he immediately walked over to another table to check on two guests who were already dining. After finishing with them, he walked right past me without asking if I'd like to start with a drink or acknowledging that I was even seated. There was absolutely no hospitality it felt more like hostility and indifference. The ambiance is aesthetically pleasing, but unfortunately that's where the positives end. The food is mediocre at best and definitely not worth overlooking such poor service. Customer service makes or breaks a dining experience, and today it completely broke it for me. I won't be returning and would recommend trying one of the many other restaurants in the area instead.

The front wall of the bar opens to a piazza with small fountain and most dining is outside under umbrellas. The fountain has toys and nets and we saw a number of kids enjoying some wet fun. Hostess stand is at the far side of the building. We walked in - but there may be parking in back. We asked to be seated in a shady spot (it. was. Hot!) and we were taken to a shady table by the sidewalk. A wall seperates the tables from the sidewalk. Our waitress was very pleasant and capable. She took the drink order and when she returned we ordered food and I asked her to be sure our waters were kept full. She returned shortly with a pitcher of water for the table. Excellent! I drank so much water. The menu is pub fare. Apps, salads, burgers, sandwiches plus some entrees like fish and chips. We both ordered sandwiches and chose the pasta salad as our side from their many side options. I also ordered a side salad. The salad arrived with our food, brought by a food runner which for me was good. The waitress checked in quickly to be sure everything was as expected. All good. The burger seemed a bit over cooked but has a nice char on it. The bun to burger ratio is good and it was fresh. My dining companion enjoyed their chicken sandwich and their vinegar based pasta salad. My side salad was a nice mix of greens with plenty of shredded carrot on top plus onion, tomato and red onion. Dressing on the side. Excellent lunch; good portion size, fresh ingredients, capable, friendly staff.

Was a really nice place to visit the staff was nice. The food was decent. They had an amazing salad…read morebar at the ambience was cute. Definitely a place to go eat if you're looking for a quick bite

We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.
