Great entertainment, then a BBQ buffet, and more entertainment by the band on New Years Eve. The bartenders and servers were quick and accommodating, the food was delicious, and the entertainment top notch. The Alley is known for its Blues jams and inclusive & entertaining hosts.

Spent a Sunday afternoon exploring downtown. Cute shops to explore, wish I had more time and better company to shop with. lol But I would recommend a visit. Lots of good food to choose from and a Great German Market/Deli! Come visit, you won't be disappointed.
