Strawberry Alley Ale Works is a brewery and scratch kitchen in a historic downtown building. Brunch runs 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekends; the regular kitchen opens at 11 a.m. on weekdays. Upstairs at Strawberry Alley has a taproom with games and is open to all ages until 9 p.m., then 21 and over (restaurant site).

Shelby’s Trio has three floors: Joe’s Garage on the ground floor, the Trattoria di Cat Italian steakhouse and the Skyline 500 rooftop bar. Brunch is served at Joe’s Garage. The brunch menu includes stuffed French toast, breakfast empanadas, Eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon, steak or salmon, chicken and mini waffles, biscuits and gravy, omelets and country-fried steak. Free parking is in the lot behind the restaurant and in its lots at Second and College streets, validated for guests.

Blackhorse Pub & Brewery serves brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at its Franklin Street brewpub, with lunch specials on weekdays (pub page).
