Alaro Craft Brewery, Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

Alaro: the backup plan that delivered. We rolled in last minute, no reservation, no plan—wine in hand from our first-choice spot. I hadn’t even done my usual vegetarian menu sleuthing. Honestly? I expected to settle. But surprise surprise, this place delivered. The menu has range. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, meat-lovers—everyone’s invited and no one’s stuck with a sad side salad. We love an inclusive queen. Didn’t try the beer because, again, wine. But the food? Came in hot. It’s refined pub classics with a little tapas flair. Fried pickles. Onion dip. A grilled cheese that was crispy, golden, and somehow not a grease bomb. Add the grilled onions. Seriously. Just do it. There’s a freshness here that a lot of places in this category miss. It doesn’t feel heavy or overdone—it feels like someone in the kitchen actually cares. The service? Super friendly and clearly knew the menu. But yes, we had to ask for flatware. Multiple times. Which, when your food’s already on the table? A little chaotic. Still—flavor wins. The vibe’s solid. I came in with low expectations and left thinking about what I want to try next. Next time, I’m showing up with an appetite... and my own fork. Just in case. 🥄✨ How I break down my star reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥

My girlfriend and I just happen to be driving by and decided it looked like a nice spot to stop. This is a bar but it feels like an ice balance of restaurant space vs the bar vibes. The service was great as well as the hostess, everyone was very friendly infact - I didn’t feel like I was in a typical bar at all. I was really impressed by the food because I feel like at bars it can get dicey but the menu felt like it had love and attention when it was made. The salad is perfect, the rest was fresh and far above average for bar food! Best part, they had gluten free options (specifically fried pickles) which I would come back for those on their own. Definitely a pleasant night out, thank you!
