Love Alobar downtown! The food is always fantastic. The service is superb. The value, especially during happy hour can’t be beat. The ambience is amazing as well, whether on the patio, in the bar, or the lounge, the DJ plays great tunes, of 90’s r&b on this visit! Best of all though, is all the lovely people who work so hard to ensure your experience at Alobar is always on point! Many thanks!
