The Scene
A self-described "home of warm beer, lousy food and an ugly owner," the Waterfront has a dozen fine beers on tap and numerous drink specials. Postcards and souvenirs of all kinds decorate the back bar beneath a tin model of a New Yorkish skyline--and the swiveling bar stools have high backs. It's dark in a cozy way, and there's always free popcorn available from the movie-theater popper next to the bar.
The Draw
During the day, the kitchen serves pub grub and you might spot families having a quiet meal, but after dinner it's all bar. The friendly local crowd can get a little wild at night, especially when there's live music. If you're a scotch drinker, make sure to peruse the extensive single malt menu. And if hot sauce is your thing, you can take home a bottle of the house brand.

I was a regular customer of the ale house. Service is a bit slow, but the food usually makes up for it. However, on my last visit, we asked for a high chair for our one yr old baby and the waitress told us that it was located in the back and we had to get it ourselves. Unreal!!! ok so now we ordered the Texas dip and usually the brisket is moist and you get a decent size sandwich, but this time it was laughable. Both halves was half the normal size. I felt like i was getting half a sandwich then they cut that in half...and the brisket was dry and burnt. This place used to be good. If you want rude service and get cheated out of your hard earned money then the ale house is for you. No more ale house for us.

Great selection of beers, always fresh and delicious. The food is very good too. favorites include the ale battered shrimp, grilled baurenwurst and the venison chili. Well worth the trip!

Pete's moved from across the street about 15 years ago and remains an institution in this neighborhood. one of the best assortments of tap beer you will find anywhere, free popcorn and decent food in a relatively small but comfortable setting.
