I've been coming to this place the last 4 yrs the food is awesome drinks are reasonable and Ciara ( cece) is the best server / bartender by far she has exceptional service, kind and attentive. Now this restaurant has pizza by the slice and it's worth every dollar

Tried the Ale House out two very since it's new ownership transition. The first time around I sat at the bar. The new owner sat next to me a few spots down. During small talk he seemed very over confident in his restaurant. The menu being used was the old Ale House menu which was over priced and had a lamé selection of entrees and appetizers. They also tossed a pizza menu with pizza by the slice or a whole pizza. I was immediately told the prices on the pizza menu weren't the actual prices???? Re-print it with the prices!!!! Not hard!!! Also, the menu prices on the lame Ale House menu were raised even higher!! ??? Terrible decision! Get rid of that menu! It sucked before and it still sucks! Anyway, reluctantly I ordered a pesto chicken whole pizza. In the end the price of the pizza was $30!!! Crazzzzy ridiculous price! The pizza was very good..but not worth $30!!?? I was told that a new menu was coming soon..that would have an Italian menu up for selection. Soooo I came back 5 weeks later to give this place a chance. Unfortunately after 5 weeks had passed the same lame mis priced pizza menu was still in the bar!!! And the Ale House menu was still the same high priced garbage menu! The owner was at the bar again drinking shots of whiskey with a lame canned beer. While his bartender suffered due to the place being understaffed and under managed. The owners girl friend told him he should help bud tables to help out his staff. He replied back saying that wasn't his job! Although it was his responsibility to staff the restaurant on a busy Saturday night! He just sat there and drank his whisky while the entire staff worked strenuously! Then left and didn't take the time to thank his guests for dining in his lamé restaurant or say goodbye to his staff! After all this on two separate visits I'm done! No more Lame Ale House for me. Which is unfortunate because I'd been a patron here for 15 years!Tim

Back again. Although the menu is a fraction of its former self, we always enjoy stopping here for a bite and a cold beverage. Atmosphere is fun, service is provided quickly by a friendly staff, and they have shuffleboard! You won't be disappointed.

Service was fine. $17 burger which was not very good, Caesar salad and a pitcher of bud light. ALL TOGETHER $70. wow!

We had a hamburger and a beer if I if we had to over again we will split a hamburger they're big. A bunch of different kinds of beer just a whole line of them up and down the bar. If you need a toothpick there on the left side of the bar not the right.

I called ahead to make sure was family friendly. I heard they had chocolate milk but not hot chocolate. I showed up in DIRE need of an IPA, cuz my son has been mad that I started working full time. Sierra remembered I called and asked about hot chocolate. She made it happen! I even got a smile out of my son who is dead at on not giving me anything happy. I'm not local, but any time I'm near by I will come, especially thanks to sierra!

I did not get the name of the waitress but she was amazing. This was my first time in a long time eating at Ale House. I will definitely be back and soon.

The Ale House Pub hasn't aged well. Building is poorly maintained and configured oddly. The staff are less than friendly, however our waitress hustled. Pull tab counter refused to sell tabs from an open bin because someone else was playing it. But it wasn't closed or they hadn't pulled the card down. Basically they lied to me because a regular had $20 in the game. Food: not so good. Lacked flavor. Tater tots undercooked. Wings overcooked. Sandwich was flat and tasteless. Beer cheese was neither. Entire visit was a lackluster experience. I won't be going back.

Extensive beer list and yummy food! Happy hour is weekdays from 3-5:30 and 8-close. Came here for a fundraiser event and food and drinks were super yummy. We had the happy hour boneless wings, a few beers, the Blue Baron, and the Mini-Alehouse. I was so happy to see they have a smaller portion burger since I hate food waste. Would definitely return!

The tall bar tender continues to mess up. Eats & drink on the floor. Not very nice. It looks like her friend is now there who does trivia! The rest of staff very friendly.

What a disappointment. This is my review after going there twice. First off, all the stools where "reserved " , leaving only booth seats available. Hardly anyone was there. The waitress Ciara seems as smart as a rock, kept forgetting our water, what we ordered, and even got our bill wrong. The food was COLD. I MEAN COLD! The Bourbon burger was small, cold, and not worth the $17. Neither was the French Dip ; the meat was literally cold and it wasn't worth the price ! She charged for food we didn't order. It took 3 servers, 10 minutes just to figure out my bill. She didn't give me a paper bill/ receipt. She just showed me the price on her hand held gadget. I paid in cash so who knows if she pocketed the money. I was actually loving the food before when I went in early May this year. I was served by a man who also made the food. It was delicious then, and even the bourbon burger was larger. This second time around was a disaster. We're crossing this establishment off of our list.

Lunch was great. I had the crispy chicken club and it was awesome! Great atmosphere and great tap list. I will have to come back after work and try a few brews I have not had before.

Great fish and chips with generous portions. Service was quick and friendly. Little ambiance, but we ate under the outside canopy where we could include our terrier on a hot mid-day. The meal and service exceeded the expectations from the "street presence."

Craig Covington

Always great, comfortable, welcoming and laid back atmosphere, some of the best consistant customer service. Incredible menu with extensive list of beers available. The perfect place to watch a game or just meet up with friends. I believe minors are allowed up until 9pm.
