Aliota's Pub & Grill

Super friendly place that I've been coming to for over thirty years. I live nearby.  My co-workers and I often enjoyed drinks and food here on Fridays after work !  They have a great patio as well

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...

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!

I live and work in Glendale - and up until yesterday, I had never visited Aliota's Pub & Grill.  I didn't know what to expect, but my new team frequents this place for happy hour after work.

It's a neighborhood bar - but with an expansive food menu.  The service was excellent and never did we have an empty glass for long.  We had a couple of appetizers that hit the spot - and generally, it's a casual and comfortable spot.

I wish I had known about it before....... and as a bonus, there is a Dairy Queen next door.... Blizzard, say what?

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.

I had heard good things about this place recently, unfortunately those things were not true. The perch fish fry tasted like frozen fish sticks and the baked fish was like eating a brick. Also this place was packed with no one wearing a masks and no social distancing at tables or the bar. Hard pass.

Picked up Fish Fry on a recent Friday; not impressed with food or this place. Trying to stay local and spreading our FF purchases around the area. Entered the location to pick up since they don't have Curbside; no customers sitting at full bar were wearing masks; there were two bartenders and one had mask around her neck as she was waiting on me and the other only put hers up when she turned and saw me at the bar with one on. Fish was okay but nothing I would rave about so overall not worth it. I should have walked out when I saw they didn't really care about their patrons.

So, I went back two more times since I first posted my original post giving only 3 stars last time.
The service the last 2x times I went was a lot better and faster. This past Thursday we went again. The waiter was busy but we had an older couple I believe either they are the parents of the owners or the owners were going around in each table making sure everyone was ok. (love the personal touch).
Both games were on so naturally everyone was in good spirit. (With a GB touch down they even handed a complimentary Jell-O shot).
They do have good specials during the week.
They have $5 burger with fries on Wednesday
And  5 wings for $4 on Thursday

Naturally, it is just fair to give another review to this place.
If your looking for place to watch sports and you're around the east side or north shore area. Give this place a try.

A great little bar in downtown Whitefish Bay. We went for a drink and take out- the place was packed. I recommend trying out their fish fry dinners. The walleye was sold out at 7:00 already so we ordered perch and haddock. Both dinners came with homemade tartar and fries or potato pancakes. Everything was excellent! Staff was busy yet polite and generous with their time. I am glad we tried this place out, we will definitely be back.

This place is a hidden gem! Great service and great food! The Aliotas Arancini is amazing! A local hangout where even an out of towner like me feels welcome!
