My friend and I found The Alcove while we were in town for distilleries and food. We ended up having a great, laid-back experience.
The bar staff was excellent. The bartender was friendly and seemed to know his drinks well. The prices are a huge selling point. They run solid shot and beer specials, and my drink combo came out to $9, which felt incredibly reasonable, especially compared to West Coast prices. This place definitely offers great value.
The atmosphere is classic dive. The decor is eclectic and busy—there’s a lot going on, sometimes randomly, but it adds a ton of character and makes the space interesting. It's never boring to look around.
We didn't try the food, but I saw a substantial, permanent food-truck-like setup in the back. A major bonus is that the entire back area is completely covered, meaning it could easily accommodate a large group comfortably in any kind of weather.
I would say, The Alcove is a solid neighborhood spot. While I wouldn't make a special trip just for it, it has all the makings of a perfect local watering hole if you live nearby. If you're looking for a comfortable, judgment-free place to grab a cheap drink, this is a great find.

One star is too high for this place especially in the service area. Worst bartender ever. I wouldn't go back here if you paid me. Good thing there isnt a lot of parking because they shouldn't need it. Food is meh
I See the owner came on to discounts my experience and imply that I have never tried their mediocre food. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back there buddy. Point is Ive had your food multiple times on days I visited other than Tuesday. Ive never had anything remarkable the food is what I said it is MEH. No bought and paid for or socially networked awards will change that. Thats not even your biggest problem! Of all the times I have visited your establishment never once was I made to feel welcome by your staff. You bartenders ignore me and there is one that gives me the impression he would rather I not be there at all. Message recieved! Ill take my money elsewhere! FYI folks if your in this area and are hungry the good food is 3 doors down at The Red Yeti. Better food! Better drinks! Better atmosphere, and much friendlier bar staff.

Out of towers stopped by while looking for a pool hall. Stepped in but didn't order or got anything. Ended up leaving but the three of us where immediately acknowledged by the barkeep. Which is unusual at bars I have been to. It felt like a nice place. Maybe an older crowd. I would have stayed if I was alone and wanted a pint.

Love love loveee alcove. Every single one of the staff is amazing, the food truck is absolutely delicious and cheaply priced for what you get 😍 and even the staff back there are super welcoming. Good drinks great food and even better staff. 10/10 for me every time. Im a drifter and love all the different types of people who walk thru the doors of alcove. A busy weekend or a nice Tuesday night it’s a nice vibe to just get out the house and connect. If you’re looking for a fun night out, look into the events they hold and get to know and support people in your community 🙏🏼 Tip good they deserve it !
For real thought the food truck it worth even just stopping in for a bite to eat real quick.😭😍
Thank u for being a community gem alcove 💎
