Austin's Ale House Joins New City Dining Scene - Business - New ...

Austin?s Ale House, New City?s newest restaurant, came together in record time, according to manager Laura Poli.

?

?I saw them do in 13 days what some restaurants do in six months,? Poli said.

?

The 13 days Poli refers to is the time it took for the former CB Kitchen and Grill to transform into Austin?s.

?

The bar and restaurant opened on June 7 after redoing everything from floors and furniture to bathrooms and the kitchen.

?

Before opening, Austin?s made sure to retain CB?s entire staff?including Poli, who was bartending at the now?defunct restaurant.

?

?I can already see Austin?s doing better than CB,? Poli said.

?

While Poli believes that Austin?s attracts a more mature crowd than competing restaurants, she said the eatery also caters strongly to families. The restaurant had a printing company make Austin?s coloring books for children, and Mondays are ?Kid?s Night??youngsters? meals cost only 99-cents with the purchase of an entre.

?

Poli credits owner Mark Pavlicek with the bolstered business.

?

?Mark?s here a lot, he actually cares,? Poli said. ?He?s always making sure people are happy, and that really matters.?

?

Austin?s is Pavlicek?s first restaurant, but he is ambitious, already planning more locations in Philadelphia and Connecticut.

?

?Austin?s is a casual but upscale place, and the owners want to make the community better,? Pavlicek said. ?We?re just trying to make the patron?s experience enjoyable by providing a comfortable atmosphere, good food and a clean environment.?

?

Some of the most distinctive menu items include: chicken and waffles; the bacon, egg, and cheese burger; the lamb burger; the crab cake sandwich; and the pastrami Rueben.?

?

Poli said top-selling dishes are the beef brisket chili, the fried chicken sandwich, and their homemade mac and cheese.

?

?Everything down to the pickles is homemade,? Poli added. ?The sauces, the dressings, the chili, everything.?

?

In order to attract customers and keep the coming back, the restaurant is holding nightly promotions. On the heels of Kid?s Night is Tuesday?s Dollar Taco Night. Wednesday evenings feature 50-cent wings, and on Friday and Saturday nights, Austin?s has live music and dinner specials.

?

?We?re continuing to build, and its really looking positive,? Pavlicek said.
