Allen's

LoginSave

Featuring one of the city's nicest patio dining areas (in warmer months), Allen's is more than just a pub, although it's a great place for lovers of Irish music and dance. The seasonal menu has hearty, sophisticated Irish fare: cuts of hormone- and additive-free beef, lamb, ale-battered halibut, and curries.
