Since its well-done renovation, Alberta Street Pub is more comfortable but still old school. This neighborhood watering hole has 21 beers on tap that rotate daily, great pub grub with locally sourced ingredients, and interesting cocktails both classic and modern. Most beers come from the local craft breweries, and they take their food seriously, making sure that the ingredients are seasonal and local. Try their excellent burgers or Guajillo Chicken Nachos, which come with chicken thighs with guajillo and chili sauce served with house tortilla chips, melted cheddar, cream, and salsa verde. The large covered patio is packed on warm days, and it welcomes dogs on leashes. The pub is known for its live music evenings featuring jazz, bluegrass, folk and country, and excellent acoustics.
