About Allyn's Cafe

Allyn's has never just been another watering hole or a place to grab some chow. From the onset Allyn had a passion for beer and offered an extensive beer list.

​Over the years, experimenting with different specials and personal favorites the restaurant developed into what many now would call a Gastropub featuring original cajun, creole and even vegan friendly menu options. Allyn himself is a vegan today.

Featuring elevated cuisine and beverages in a totally unique and casual atmosphere, the memories of 25 years reign with our local regulars and those that have moved from Cincinnati and live coast to coast.
