Apparently the man in the kitchen quit, so they are presently looking for a new cook. We went to listen to a blues/jazz band from Georgia who were excellent.

We entered Malley's In The Alley to hip hop playing, walked to the back where we entered a hallway, which turned out to be a wormhole to another bar where folk/bluegrass was being played by a live band. This I presume was Crosskeys Tavern? We played pinball on their Iron Man machine (which sets on what was once the stage at The Blue Monk in the 90s) for a series of games & enjoyed some drinks. People were friendly (in both bars). We exited through the front door afterwards. It was generally a real swell time.

Wonderful establishment! They had great music, the owner was personable and friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and very upbeat early in the evening, then swelling with a younger, more excited croud as the night grew later.

The food was amazing and the bartender Mia was like a mind reader. As soon as soon as our bottles or glasses were empty she was there to refill them. Thus was my first night out in a while but I can not wait to go back
