Park Slope Ale House: Anything But the Chicken Fingers

Can you believe I've never been to the Park Slope Ale House on 6th Avenue and 5th Street. I mean it's right nearby. It used to be called the Park Slope Brewery and I was living across the street when that opened and I used to go there. But since it became the Ale House, I haven't stopped in. I heard from Dave, an OTBKB reader who wrote in about the new Kohzee Cafe, another 6th Avenue establishment. He has a blog called DaveWeekly.com, and he thinks the Ale House is awesome. Here's his take:

It is a very nice place.  Since our son was born last year (whom, by the way, I blog about at DaveWeekly.com), my wife and I can't go out on Friday nights like we used to.  Our Friday nights have basically become "Ale House Takeout and Netflix" nights.  It suits us well, though, and we've found quite a few things on the menu we really enjoy.  We love the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and the burgers.  I enjoy the wings from time to time, and my wife is a fan of their quesadilla.  During Lent we often had their catfish sandwich and their fish & chips (which is better for takeout than Chip Shop's, since they're not as soggy).  Last week we took friends there and I tired their chicken pot pie, which was fantastic.  My wife tried the shepherd's pie and thought it was great, too.  I've even had the steak there.  If you're into pub food, it's excellent... except for the chicken fingers.  Don't know why, but they make horrible chicken fingers there.  

 

They're also family-friendly, and one of the bartenders there (who may be part-owner) calls our son her "boyfriend" and certainly makes us feel very welcome.  Anyway, we've grown to really love the place... you should definitely check it out.
