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.
