What People Are Saying About The Alley

The Editor

Nancy Hunter

Citysearch

In Short – Floor-to-ceiling windows along Grand Avenue publically showcase the scene, inviting passersby to stop by for a quick drink, or a night of mingling and dancing. Although a classic neighborhood dive by day, with old regulars perched atop bar stools, the crowd switches to young, beachy singles in search of a rowdy atmosphere and live music at night -- and the Alley delivers, offering up karaoke, hip-hop and live, Top 40 dance music.

The Details on The Alley

Parking:

The nearby parking lot is city-owned, so during beach rush-hours, expect to hunt and peck. Or, search for a street spot.

When to Go:

Karaoke is offered Sundays through Tuesdays; hip-hop on Wednesdays; and the Lover Rangers play Thursday through Saturday nights.

On the Menu:

Cruise by on Fridays at noon for their weekly potluck lunch, with food provided by the staff, regulars and more.
