Margaret’s

You have to try Margaret’s Burgers… Please do yourself a favor! Margaret’s burgers are the best burgers you will ever try. Please do yourself a favor and ask for some deep-​fried pierogies with it. If you still have room for some more you have to try her wings!!! I am a regular over there and I guarantee you if you try her food YOU WILL BE BACK!
Ps. Margaret is super nice, she will make you feel like you are home.

AMAZING!!! Love Margaret and her bar. Always the best drinks and service. She makes you feel like a regular, even if you aren’t. If you ever don’t know what shot to take, try her lemon drops. BEST lemon drop shots I’ve ever had!

Margaret is awesome! Great place! Service was fast and had great atmosphere for the neighborhood

The 4-​star rating is based on Margaret’s keeping Tony & Lil’s pizza on the menu. That old restaurant has become a magical memory since my family moved to California many years ago. My dad used to take my mom to Tony & Lil’s when they were dating in the early 1950s! We have great pizza here in San Jose – but Tony & Lil’s remains the best.

AKA; Mike’s Ale House
This place defines; Neighborhood Bar
Its small and quaint and delivers exactly what you expect from a local bar. Good, inexpensive drinks! A nice break from the Greedy Gougers in Chicago charging $ 8 for a beer and $ 12 for a cocktail!!!
I didn’t try the food.
Huge bonus for me was them having Small Town Brewery-​Not Your Father’s Root Beer! My wife and I were also treated to a delicious mix of NYF Root Beer and RumChata! An amazing, yet dangerous combination.
I will be back! :-)

Since moving to the neighborhood my husband wanted to relive his childhood by going to Mike’s Ale House so that I could try Tony and Lil’s pizza. Well it turns out all the signage is still there, but it’s now Margaret’s. Dingy little bar with feather duster deco lights but large screen tv’s and a pool table. Perfect place for watching the game that the ‘Hawks won. Although the pizza was just ok, we requested a pizza that had ricotta on it (but they ran out), the wings are pretty good. 10 cent wings and these suckers have meat on them. They have different sauce options too which is fun. Clientele seem to be more from the neighborhood and regulars, but definitely wouldn’t mind a trip back if not just for the wings. The waitress was festive enough to give everyone in the bar shots when the ‘Hawks scored the game winning goal.

I am revising this because it is ohh so necessary. I brought along two friends here on a Friday night to relax and kick back with a beer.
Horrible.
The one and only bartender/​owner for the whole place was already drunk (it wasn’t even midnight… seriously?) She was that drunk girl that slurs words and whispers sweet nothings into your boyfriend’s ears. Eh, very strange and embarassing to take your friends to a place only to be very disappointed. She gave us the wrong drinks in the wrong glasses (a Cosmo in a beer mug?), we left. End of story. I am on strike here until …

This place was solid. We were looking for someplace different in the area to try out for something to eat. This place seems like a bar first and restaurant second. It was a ghost town when we first arrived so we were a bit worried.
Our server was the bartender and she was friendly. I just ordered a burger. It was pretty good. It was a huge burger but I don’t think that that the meat was seasoned at all. The fries were really good and we were served MANY of them. Their prices are very reasonable. It was a good meal.
I could easily see myself coming here for a couple of drinks after work on a relatively regular basis. It seems like a great place to unwind and chill for a while.

this place used to be alot better with the previous owner. The menu has gone down hill by using cheaper ingredients. I used to eat here once a week. The chicken club wrap was my favorite. Now I dont even bother, even though i live close. I gave it a try a couple weeks back and decided that was it. I used to really like the drunken thai wings too, but again the last time they were smaller in size and dry, and expensive.
