“I stopped in recently to catch a couple flights here at Alley Kat. Turns out Kat’s are not born in Alleys. However, the beers born among this alley are top notch. Not only that, my bartender was highly knowledgeable about their product and made fantastic recommendations on the spot. Editors pick: Fish Bone, New England Style Pale Ale. There all good, go check these fine folks out.” – Alexander Philipp

“5/5 stars!! This place really knows how to do it! I’ve been here several times and every time has been amazing. I don’t even drink beer and I love it. The food here are some of my favourite dishes of all time. They serve probably one of the best chicken sandwiches ever. Their nachos are so so much better than almost anywhere else I’ve tried and even their cocktails are delicious. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.” – Megan Kjos
