Aliota’s Pub & Grill

Service was awesome, super friendly and very attentive. Great sports bar atmosphere without being too loud. We stopped in for the Hawks game and some appetizers… The Cajun Chicken Quesadillas were fresh, flavorful and just the right amount of spice… highly recommended. We will certainly be back… Especially since we found a spot willing to put on Blackhawks for us!

Service and atmosphere were great. However, the beers all tasted as if the lines hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. I ordered a Lagunitas IPA, and quickly swapped it for a bloody mary. I explained why to the bartender, and she apologized. We had a great discussion about Lagunitas and some of the great things the brewery is doing. I was surprised when she continued to serve tainted beer to other bar customers. I would probably give the bar another shot, but only after beers are rotated and lines are cleaned.

I love this place! The food is A-​mazing! The chef Andre always has delicious specials and the menu is creative and not your average bar food. I personally love the fried brie, and the white cheddar mac n cheese. And the late night pizza handmade by Andre is a perfect night cap. Perfect place for game day! Love the beer selection! Never bad time.

Incredibly friendly service! I had an absolutely fantastic time and the food is excellent. Definitely worth the stop.

The food and service are decent. Nothing to write home about. But it smells terrible inside! Despite looking clean and having a nice atmosphere otherwise… it smells like they’re pumping urinal air into the dining area. It’s revolting. I wanted to run across the street to buy Febreeze from CVS.

Had the Chicken Caprese sandwich. Mmmm melted mozzarella cheese tomatoes and basil over a chicken breast with tator tots! So what’s not to like?

Motz sticks were awesome! I had the burger w/​tots. Pretty good, tots a little over cooked for me. Server was great!!!

The only thing good about this restaurant is the food and specials on Monday and Tuesday. The food is good, but waaaay too expensive for what you get. Do not go there and order a BYO sandwich, it’s $ 9.

Alright So Mixed review —
My guy and I relocated to this area about a year ago now. Now maybe im spoiled coming from riverwest where their was amazing food around every corner but i really really had high hopes for the place in walking distance. I didnt expect it to compete with say Nessun Dorma no no nothing that crazy i mean this is northshore area after all. But I did expect something a little bit better than say a high end fast foodie place. Now dont get me wrong its not bad, its just not that great and really with Bayshore mall just down the road and that offering better food suggestions, or say the silverspring house also a quick job away. It would be hard to pull our business. however they have a decent happy hour and we have stopped in a time or 2 for a drink and the nachos are pretty good for your standard bar faire. So its local for the neighborhood we fourtunate to have it but its not worth raving about.

For being just a pub and restaurant, the pulled pork was absolutely incredible! It seems to be a dive bar, but the food was great and the drinks were relatively cheap!

Fish fry was tasty, very light. Service was quick. Checked on by both the manager and waitstaff. Good beer selection too. Will definitely try again.

There are people in here every night of the week. Which I take to be a good sign.
Aliota’s is one of my local establishments, and I’m glad that it is. Their food menu is pretty great, whether you’re in the mood for a sandwich or a full entrée. Personal favorites include the White Cheddar Mac ‘n’ Cheese (add bacon and jalapenos) and the Old Smoky Burger (beef patty topped with bacon, Gouda, onions, and BBQ sauce). (Clearly I like bacon. No apologies!) Prices are pretty in line with the rest of the Shorewood/​WFB/​Glendale area, ranging from $ 10−15ish for most items.
As for drinks, Aliota’s is a great place to catch up with a friend or watch a game on TV. With a mix of bar seating, high tables, and low tables, there’s a space for everyone. There are lots of great drink specials each day, which seems to draw in a pretty regular late night crowd. Aliota’s just celebrated its 2-​year anniversary — hopefully they’ll stick around for many more to come!

I love this place. Their steak sandwich is the best I’ve ever had. It’s comes and cooked and seasoned just right. They’re also always changing up their craft beer selection.

Okay so I am getting married tomorrow and staying at a hotel near by. My fiancé and I MET at this bar years ago under the old ownership and before the remodel. So we decided to go back for old times sake and check out the new look. The night started off great. Servers were nice, the bar had a cliquey vibe but we didnt really mind… then it happened.
We ordered food and it took at least a half hour to arrive. When it did the burger I ordered was burnt and the fries were very cold as we’re my fiances. We waited for the server to come over and since she wasnt really paying us attention my fiancé started to literally wave her over. She immediately threw her hands in the air and ask «What?!» with major attitude. My fiancé then told her he just wanted to ask for fresh fries and that he didnt think it was fair she threw attitude without even knowing why he was calling her over. The manager at the bar came over and wasnt really interested in our complaint but told us she was sorry and would bring us new fries.
The original rude server then started going to the other customers at the bar within ear shot, calling us a-​holes and saying she shouldnt have to deal with our BS. Then it got super awkward. EVERYONE around us started staring and whispering and one guy started picking on my bridesmaid who wasnt even involved in the incident. The chef ended up coming out and paid for our meals but the servers ignored us the rest of the time and everyone continued to talk about us until we left the bar.
VERY awkward to say the least. Really sad since it was such a great place full of memories and we used to have a great relationship with the staff. Wont be going there again. The saddest part was the rest of my group was unsatisfied with their food as well but was so uncomfortable with the service they didnt even say anything.
Long story short, customer service majorly plummeted under new management. Only giving 2 stars because the chef took off our meal.

My family and I stopped into Aliota’s yesterday on a whim because it was conveniently located near an event we were headed to. Expecting to just grab a beer and a burger, our expectations were highly exceeded. First, and most importantly the service was outstanding — Carrie, the bartender and waitress was such a sweetheart — attentive, funny and made you feel right at home! They have an extensive beer list, a complete menu with fresh ingredients and healthy options (at a bar!). I even got a glass of wine that was fresh, tasty and came in a fancy wine glass! The food was so delicious (we had a reuben, a chicken garden wrap, burger and a few sides of vegetables — all top notch)! Also — you cant beat this — FREE access to the baked potatoes bar with the purchase of «an alcoholic beverage» — all around pleasant experience and makes me wish I lived in Milwaukee! Thank you Carrie!

Nice small little pub in a strip mall. There was a family with kids, and the bar was full of adults. Plenty of regulars. I had some fries with my beer and they were cooked well. They had food specials posted on the wall that looked good too. My buddy got a reuben sandwich and the meat was SERIOUSLY lacking which would be something to remember. I liked it enough as almost a hole-​in-​the-​wall place.

Kristen is a very good waitress. The manager still ruins this place for me. Despite this I return from time to time because it is incredibly convenient and the food is decent. I like the head chef a lot. He is very friendly and fun to talk to. John A: I am sure this manager is losing business. He is incredibly rude. I have overheard him criticizing customers and employees at the bar. Please get someone else!

The remodel surely did this place wonders.
A definitive increase in the food quality.
The bar does get busy from time to time which is good — and people are overly friendly (in a good way)
Bottom line: it’s a great place to go and have a few beers with friends if you like the smaller, less-​intensive atmosphere.

Not to be confused with Alioto’s. on the West side of town (very different)
This is a fun location with a nice patio up front with good sized ashtrays. Came in for late happy hour. Staff was pleasant and attentive.
They had a touchscreen juke box. With speakers out front. They had plenty of parking up front and as the sign says parking in rear. (hee hee).
They had Jameson and but no Myers Rum or JW blue label. It’s sad that most of the locals don’t drink the Dark Jamaican rum. I personally enjoy it when ever I get a chance. In fact I prefer it over Captain Morgan any day. I’m sure there is more than 2 other fans of Myers. it is definitely a flavor that reminds me a life in South Florida without the expense of travel.
They have a good selection of drafts I got the Lakefront Brewery Riverwest stein.

Aliota’s is a welcome change for this area of Whitefish Bay. There aren’t too many walkable restaurants in this area — it’s halfway between downtown Shorewood and downtown Whitefish Bay. Aliota’s has fantastic food considering the prices and location. Where else can you get a cheeseburger and fries/​tater tots/​vegetables for $ 5? This is one of the few places who offers sauteed veggies as a standard side rather than upcharging for it. The food is better than most pub food — try the steak or the buffalo chicken sandwich. Their homemade ghost chili is also great and is almost a meal in itself! They have a good mix of beers on tap, and they have varying specials every night of the week. Drinks are reasonably priced. They have quite a few nice TVs which helps if you want to see a game.
Try Aliota’s for your next casual meal out — you won’t be disappointed!
