    Fantastic burgers and really, really good onion rings. And if you like beer, this is definitely the place for you.

    Their burgers and their "grilled cheese of the week" are decent. But for an ale house the know very little about beer. The waitstaff can't answer questions about the beer beyond what is on the board.

    The two times I have been to the First Street Alehouse, they have had Russian River, Pliny the Elder on draft. The food is good and the selection of beer is very good!

    Huge portions! Given the chance upgrade to the Garlic Fries.. seriously. Totally worth the $1.99.

    Always busy - and everybody gets a Tootsie Pop when they eat here. Look for the big kids and the little kids on the street and you know who just ate at the Alehouse.

    Try the Pyramid Apricot ale or the Hef -- you can't find them at just any old bar! And make sure you at least take a look at the seasonals

    Don't eat before you come here. You definitely need to leave room for the grilled cheese of the week.

    You can get a side of soup instead of fries or salad for 1.99 and it's a HUGE! Good w/ grilled cheese.

    If you're coming with a big group, plan on waiting a while to get seated. Especially if there's a big game in tv.
