Historians Ale House

You kind of have to look at this place separately as a bar vs as a restaurant. The food used to be better - this was a go to spot for me for takeout during Covid, but I've stopped bothering going here for food. The food is generally meh, and if you order chips and queso, they give you like 13 chips and charge you if you want more. However, looking at it just as a bar, it's a great spot! Big tap beer selection with variety that rotates, plus a big liquor list with good cocktails at reasonable prices for the area. The inside is fun, and the rooftop is an awesome spot to hang out with views of the mountains and city. Also a great place to watch a game, as they have a lot of TVs both downstairs and upstairs.

I've got mixed feelings about this place. I've now been twice, about a year apart, and recently they have done away with table service and posted notices of increased prices. Increased prices but no table service? This most recent visit we went at about 3:30 on a Monday so there wasn't any wait to order or get our food and drinks. That's great but what happens when it gets as busy as it was when I visited on a weekend a year ago? I imagine the bar gets swamped given they have to take food and drink orders and the outgoing food is picked up at the same place. I really like the food and drinks. The Steak Arugula salad and BLT Caesar Chicken salad are both great, the fish and chips too. I haven't had a bad drink there, and we've tried just about all of them. On the other hand the high prices mean you can quickly rack up a mean bill, especially if you order an app, an entree, and a drink. Not to mention sides are not included with entrees like burgers so that's an extra cost. The employees are nice and always helpful and the rooftop dining area is great- covered with some shade and plenty of misters. I'd like to eat here again if I'm in the area but man, not sure if my wallet can handle getting myself and the folks lunch.

Went in for a burger and a few drinks, ended up frustrated and unhappy. Had to repeat our food order 3 different times. When we got it, it was all wrong. Oh and 2 shots, a burger, and cheese curds....74.00 dollars! Super frustrating. Bartender comped our drinks, but still charged us for the burger that they got wrong. Probably won't go back. Ugh.
