Aliota's Pub & Grill

This is place is hopping during the dinner hour, regardless of the day. The main parking is behind the building, either enter to the south by the gas station or you have to drive around the Dairy Queen... keep this in mind as the parking lot can be full of cars and people. Lots of people, particularly in the warm months when high schoolers are hanging out at DQ.This unassuming neighborhood pub is much larger inside, and more popular, than you would expect just driving by. There are tons of tvs showing every possible sporting event and a packed house - I seem to always get the last available table. It has a townie vibe, with the dim lighting, nightly specials, an excellent Friday Fish Fry (with the option of potato pancakes - SO GOOD), and delicious burgers. No Coors on tap here but they have Stella (woohoo!). Despite living near this pub since 2010, I've only recently discovered how good the food was here. Overall, it reminds me of a "grown up" mini BBC (the beloved gone-but-never-forgotten North Ave establishment) with better food. Definitely worth checking out if you are hungry and in the area!

This was the new restaurant of the week that's been a bookmark for awhile now. The burger pictures on Yelp didn't look half bad. The place is a bar/restaurant with the bar on one half and a dining room on the other half. It's a nice looking place with a cool bar, blue under bar lighting, color on the walls with exposed duct work. Service was a little slow in the beginning to get my Bloody Mary spicy. The Bloody Mary was average with a lacking of toppings because it's one olive and a crunchy/crisp pickle spear, kind of pathetic looking.I ordered the Wisco burger and I was asked how I wanted it cooked and I said as rare as possible because you can't undercook it but definitely overcook it with seasoned frys. The Wisco burger is 1/3 pound patty, bacon, sautéed onions, beer cheese on a pretzel bun.My plate looked good but the absence of the blood red juices leaking into the bun meant that it's overcooked and sure it was because it's not rare at all so why even ask how I want it cooked, it's always been 50/50 if I actually get a rare piece of meat. Otherwise the bun was fresh with crispy bacon and the messy cheese soup so let's give the guy one thin napkin for this hand mess he just ordered. The patty seemed fresh because it was tender with out the harder texture of a frozen patty, actually a decent burger. The seasoned frys were seasoned nicely and cooked to order hot and crispy with the skin on, pretty good.Overall was it the best burger in town, no. Was it good for what it was, yes and cooked to order hot frys is always a plus.

What a hopping place! How have I not come here all these years?It is located in a very unlikely location - I pass by all the time and didn't really realize it was a pub. Quaint vibes and a great place to watch some games if there are anything Milwaukee going on, methinks. There's also a dart board and it was busy at 5pm on a Saturday. We were out on a walk and just walked in. By 6, the place was getting pretty full. I thought our server was kinda brusque at first, but she warmed up pretty quick. She was funny, kind, and fast. Awesome!I've had better food, but their burger was still pretty good, and I'd definitely go back for some seconds. IPA (5.5)forgot what hubby had, but I loved it.hangover helper (14) I didn't have a hangover, and you don't have to have one to get this wonderful burger. It was cooked perfectly medium and with a perfectly runny egg. I asked how much they charged for lettuce, onion and tomatoes, and our server looked at me like I was crazy. "who does that?" she asks. I know! I fell in love with the place right then and there. lolAnd the lettuce was a good enough size for those on keto journeys like me - I could wrap half my burger in it and eat it like that. I love that so much more than when they give you cut up lettuce. wings (16)ok, so I won't be getting this again unless I'm back on Thursdays for their wing special. Not bad, but not great either. The wings themselves aren't breaded or seasoned. They're just straight fried wings. Perfect for keto, since it's not breaded. But a little seasoning would have been helpful. We did ask for sauce on the side, but usually the wings themselves have some seasoning, like salt, on them, don't they? Oh well. The sauce (habanero mango) was good, about the same as what we get anywhere else. overall, a jolly day and we're coming back for sure! This would be an awesome place to be for watching a game.

Great food nice place to visit recently ambiance was so nice and comfortable I love the food and the atmosphere

Aliota's Pub & Grill - This was my first time trying Aliota's and it unfortunately did not live up to my expectations. We ordered the mac & cheese with chicken, which was pretty good and a good portion size. We ordered the sampler rolls along with a pub burger. The pub burger, while ordered to be a medium well, had more of a burnt charcoal type taste. The packaging they use is does not keep the items warm, as by the time I got home with them they were all a very low level warm. The fries did not hold up and become moist in the container. The rolls definitely tasted like they were frozen and deep-fried. Overall I bet their food tastes great after a few beers... but definitely not as a dinner destination location. 3 stars

So I've been to Aliota's twice now. A few of us girls came after work because it was close by. Then we realized they have trivia on Monday nights, so then we decided to come for that. Listen, I obviously haven't tried too much of their food, but that Cobb salad is no joke. It is literally the best salad ever. Their homemade ranch dressing is delicious. So delicious I could probably drink it honestly. But combined with the Cobb salad it's just amazing. I can't wait to come back just for the Cobb salad. My only real qualm is that they charge $13 for it. It really should cost $8-10 at best. $13 with tip. Why is it that the "healthier" stuff always costs more and my friends bacon burger and fries cost $9?! That's my only gripe. It's never too busy and the service is always pretty friendly. Trivia night was fun. Sup with the echoing of "Science!"?? We weren't understanding; possibly a trivia cult thing?! The other trivia participants seemed to be regulars. We'll more than likely go back!

We play trivia here regularly and each experience can vary wildly from one week to the next. Brittany the server definitely helps keep things on the higher end with friendly, attentive service even when the place is packed. Food careens from excellent one week to less than mediocre the next, and there are dishes that you should never get (the lasagna should have quotation marks around it) and others that you should never pass up (the tater tots have thankfully never been bad).And that was what has led me to this less than stellar review. The bartender was "helping" Brittany tonight amongst the tables and decided to clear plates from our table. She didn't ask, she just started grabbing. When I told her that I wasn't done, she at first must have thought I was joking but when you pay $11 for some nachos, you better believe I'm going to join The Clean Plate Club, as she scoffed at me. I repeated that I was not done and she double-down saying, "Really?" I said, "yes, really" and she hesitantly set the plate back down. I paused, waiting for her to acknowledge her error, but she still looked at me like I was going to run out of the joint with the plate. I then relented and told her to take the plate away.Again, Brittany is the only reason this place is getting a two-star review as I'm still fairly annoyed by the presumption and rudeness of the bartender. As long as Brittany is there, I'll be back, but once she's gone, so am I.

First time here, meeting friends.... not eating tonight to comment on food, but I was told this place has great food... very kool little east side bar and grill with outside seating .... very trendy, very busy... sports and music ... very friendly and professional service... more of a fun place , somewhat loud, but a great time... mixed crowd of age and ethnicity, fun crowd but chill... kind of a neighborhood establishment...

Friendly crowd and staff. Burgers and fish fry. Try their pan seared perch!Good drinks and beer varieties.

5 stars because it's the only place in the area you can get an adult beverage past 8:45pm. Friendly service, great prices, lively crowd.
