Brick Alley Pub

This spot is named after the centrally-located Brick Alley area, where sailors once spent afternoons at port, and grandparents share memories of rowdy nights from their youth. They have both a pub and a dining room, the latter of which is a nostalgic trip—there’s sports memorabilia, antiques, an old Chevy truck, and a menu filled with burgers, pizzas, and beef short ribs. The dining room is a good move for a family of five, while the pub is more casual and a great place to stop for an on-tap beer and plate of nachos—especially if you’re a little hangry from bobbing and weaving through pedestrians on Thames Street.
