About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for craft beers
Allen's is reminiscent of a New York City saloon from ages past. The tin ceiling, the wood floors and the cozy old bar make it an experience in itself. Yet Allen's also has a fabulous menu that is sure to inspire and delight.

With more than 300 kinds of whisky, more than 100 wines and over 140 beers, it will satisfy your need for liquid refreshment. The food is pub fare improved thanks to the reliance on organic and locally raised meats and careful preparation. Burgers, salads, soups and so much more await those who pay a visit to Allen's.

    Allen's is a favourite place to meet with my girlfriends. We live on opposite sides of the city, and we can always rely on the delicious food, excellent service and lively atmosphere! Make sure to try their thick cut fries- they're some of the best in the city. We always order one for the table to share.

    The 2 hour table limit came as a surprise. No notice on reservation, and no indication when we checked in. What made it worse was that one of our party arrived early and that started the clock. I'm fine with a table limit, just be up front about it.

    Always perfect. We had the specials of a sirloin and lamb chops and each was prepared to the expectations I have with Allens: perfect.

    Had a great time! Servers were great. Baked potato was a bit dry but steaks and creamed spinach were great
