Always a pleasure going there, anytime we have a meeting or get together, it's always Ale. You can consistently count on great food, atmosphere and terrific wait staff. Don't hesitate to go and have a great dining experience here. Thumbs up ! read more

The pork and grits here is one of my favorite dishes in town. The grits are cooked well unlike a lot of restaurants that try to make them and the green chili sauce is mild and has a lot of flavor. In addition to the food, the beer selection from Breckenridge brewery here is awesome. The Avalanche is my personal favorite but they are all good! Only negative is the wait times for the food can be a little long, but for the most part I love this place! read more

New menu and same chill vibe! They have kept the Gladstoner alive in a smaller version but same amazing taste! Pot pie is so delicious! Great beers on tap and live bands in the patio! read more

Service was excellent and the food was tasty.prices are reasonable. The patio is an excellent place for a quiet meal . We went on a Friday night early and had no problems . read more

My go to dinner place. Shout out to Alyx wonderful server & bodybuilder extraordinaire. Thx for great service!

Went to Ale House this past weekend and had Madison O. as our server. He was awesome! Very attentive, didn't rush us, and was fun to chat with. He made our already good day a great one. The food was also great and we loved their outdoor patio! read more

Been coming here for over seven years love this place Natalie served us tonight she was the bomb of course there's Dustin and Chrissy and Spencer and Michael. If you want good food good prices and good service show up at the Ale house read more

After being sat on the patio, we had to wait awhile for a server. Edwina found we were lacking help and took over. SHE WAS AMAZING! We love the Ale House and eat their often. Ask Edwina, she is fantastic. read more

Have been coming here for a few years. Awesome outdoor area for consuming cold brews after hiking. Food selection is good and good taste and value. Beer selection is great. Our favorite spot in Grand Junction. read more

Pretty good selection of beers on tap. Got there elk burger with sweet potato fries. Private booths for myself so I don't feel awkward. Pretty friendly service!!! read more

I have been here many times but this visit was absolutely gross. The food was old and cold and tasted like it was make 2 weeks ago. The service was so crappy that I had to get up and get my own water because the staff was just hanging out at the front door talking. I will not be coming back. Thanks for the worst birthday for my wife.... read more

place has great food and service, always have a fun and welcoming server named Colton M!

Go for drinks, the food is less than to be desired. Great atmosphere and the staff is pleasant. I was so let down by everything that came out of the kitchen. read more

Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. Super cute bar and restaurant combo feel. Great outdoor area.

I was in Grand Junction for 3 weeks and visited here twice. They have a great craft beer selection and a decent food menu. The happy hour wonton tacos were really good. The burger and fries were nothing to rave about but good nonetheless. I had outstanding service at the bar both times I visited. I would go to the Ale House if I'm ever on the western slope again. read more

The food very good and service was great. One thing I noticed is that they don't actually use yelp for notifications when there is a wait. They text when the table is ready. I love sitting on the patio also. read more

Love this place so much! Everyone must try there chicken tacos during happy hour. Their pizzas are almost amazing!

Best spot in town for a business lunch if you are looking for somewhere with great food, beer, and awesome service. Everything on the menu is delicious. Extensive beer selection. Kim is a great server, very attentive and recommends great menu items and additions to menu selections. read more

Yum yum yum! Love Ale house! Their outdoor patio is perfect in the warm months. It feels like a vacation out there. I have ordered so much off the menu and it is all fantastic. But I love their pizza, jerk chicken, salmon and grits, burgers, sandwiches. These guys do a great job. read more

Maybe just pay your kitchen staff more instead of adding a kitchen surcharge that is never mentioned beforehand

Best patio in town. Great beer selection. Not a beer fan, order the "Grimmace" one of the best cocktails around. Dustin always makes you feel welcome. read more

I was in Grand Junction for 2 days working on a project at the university. By business partner spotted the Ale House on the way to the school the first morning and suggested we eat there that evening. We did. We both ordered the meatloaf with sausage. It was excellent. So much so, we returned the next night. The second time around we both tried the steak salad and the green chili. The salad was just as pleasing as the meatloaf the night before, but the green chili stole the show. For some reason I always try green chili when it's on a menu, and have tried all over Colorado. In my humble opinion no other comes close to the Ale House. I only wish I could get this where I live, (Southern California). I have tried to make green chili myself and have made something edible, but NEVER even in the same galaxy as this one. read more

When you arrive in grand junction you are impressed by the scenery and less impressed with your immediate accommodation offerings. Thank Moses for Yelp. Enter Ale House. This place was jumping! Absolutely packed on a Saturday night. Totally a place you'd want to hang with adult friends and spouses etc. Not so good for kids as the patrons were tipsy and very loud in their use of strings of expletives. The food was solid, the carbonara mac and cheese was very good, as was the French dip, and I ordered the chicken skewers and side salad and was Dupri sedan how fresh and delicious each were. Solid fun place for a meal and night on the town [in Grand Junctiom] read more

Meh. I only had a limited amount of time in Grand Junction to catch a flight back home. I came to this restaurant to experience a Colorado microbrewery before I headed back to California. Unfortunately Ale House didn't blow me out of the water, but it's not like it was absolutely horrible. I ordered a buffalo burger and their signature IPA. When in Colorado, right? The IPA was good, don't get me wrong, but maybe I expected more out of a Colorado brewery? Isn't that what Colorado is famous for? I can get the same quality at a microbrew in California. Better than the shit that's been sitting in a bottle in the market forever, but not the best beer I've ever had, either. It was hoppy and crisp. Good enough. My burger was a disappointment. I ask for rare, I get medium well. If you're going to cook my burger medium well anyway, why ask me how I want it? Seriously I said to my server I wanted the burger freshly dead. Ugh. Everything else was so plain on it. Whoopie. I'm not even going to touch the subject of a "Cuban" sandwich because I'm Cuban and when I see shit labeled Cuban + added jalapeno (among other non-Cuban ingredients) makes me very angry. My boyfriend ordered the brautwust and said it was good enough. I wish I would have done my research to see if there was better in Grand Junction... For the prices this place charges, the food should be a lot better. read more

Great atmosphere, plenty of seating staff was very welcoming. Menu was a little pricey but well worth it if you are looking for a date night or girls night out. Nice cocktail selection as well. Would definitely go again. read more

Okay, I'm reviewing this "two-fold" style. First, as a small group sitting at a table. Second as a couple who chose to sit at the bar. Group/Table: Both times I've been to the Ale house as a small group and sat at a table, the food was great, the drinks were great, and the customer service was great. If you like the Breck brewery, you'll love this place. There are also pool tables, tons of TVs (without having a "trashy" feel), and an huge outdoor patio that's lit up by soft lights. I cannot emphasize enough that as a group, this place is fantastic. Couple/Bar: HORRIBLE. This has happened to my fiance and I twice now...we've gone in at about 10pm (they're one of the bars that's actually open late in GF) and sat at the bar for 5-15 minutes without ONE bartender coming to check on us. Seriously. And I am not exaggerating when I say that 1-2 bartenders saw us walk in, sit at the bar, and then proceeded to walk by us numerous times....all the while we are trying to get their attention for a drink. Also, they were NOT busy at the time (maybe 8 people at the bar, and a handful of groups still sitting at tables). The service was so bad both of these times that we ended up leaving and hitting up the liquor store next door (College liquors) and walking home to make homemade beverages. Seriously Ale House, you guys have GOT to do something about your late night bar service. It's currently appalling and it makes me not want to recommend Ale House to tourists or people in town (when I know you have great food and drinks). read more

The Ale house has a wider variety of cocktails and draft beers to choose from. You can enjoy these refreshments inside enjoying the tavern environment or in the ambient outside patio. If you cant decide what your are in the mood to eat the menu has a anywhere from burritos to creatively crafted pizza. It's a place you can take the whole family and have plenty of options to make everyone happy. read more

The quality had really gone down hill. As a regular I have to say I'm extremely disappointed in the menu change and they got rid of the sweet potato chips. Service was very poor tonight and slow. Might have to find a new place to take clients for lunch and dinner. read more

After going to this great brew pub for my daughters four years in college I have to say it always impresses me. We had two large gatherings there last week for graduation... impromptu with 10+ people both time and they were able to accommodate us wonderfully and give us fantastic service and great food. Among our favorites were: Whatever beer special they are having $2.50 for a pint of Colorado beer. Score.. Gigantic pizzas.. just the thing for growing college boys Fantastic salads Fish and chips and fish tacos are a favorite BLAT Sandwich (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) - these sustained our daughter through four years of study Huge juicy burgers Seasoned fries Add all this to a fun outside grassy knoll to sit on in lawn chair and enjoy some munchies and a frosty mug of beer. We are going to miss it. read more

Always an all around great place to go. Best server Madison O. gave great service and very menu knowledgable, was prompt taking order and getting everything to us quickly. We will be back for his section! read more

An absolute MUST whenever I'm rolling through town on I-70...even if I can only stop for a quick beer. The Ale House has everything you want: Fantastic service, great food, a fabulous beer selection, huge tvs showing a variety of channels, live music, a light, comfy atmosphere, big bar in the middle and a great porch & outside area with misters for the hot days! I have to be honest, I wish there was an Ale House in Denver! I recommend just about everything - i've never been disappointed, and if you're curious about a drink, just ask for a sample! They'll be happy to hook you up. read more

This gets a high rating for the following reasons: 1. Great outside area with Music on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 2. Large section of micro-brews 3. Sweet Potato Chips 4. Ample TV screens in the Bar Area 5. Friday night happy hour place to be for the buzz you crave. 6. 50% off Pizza after 10 pm (late night munchies) Nice menu from Meatloaf to Bratwurst... read more

The Ale House was very nice. Being a person who does not normally drink beer, I was able to find a beer on tap that I really enjoyed (Breckinridge Agave Wheat). We're from out of town and knew nothing about the area. The bartender on duty, Dustin, was extremely nice and knowledgable not only about their beers and menu but gave us insight about what to do around town. I had the Elk Meatloaf. Being from Texas, elk is not something on the menu. It was actually very good! I would recommend it! This bar has live music during the weeknights and weekend nights. It was very clean and nicely set up. Definitely a place we're going back to this week! read more

To be fair, i was here for a work lunch, so did not try the beer, which I think would be an important aspect to a review of this place. However, the food was great- had a very satisfying bleu cheese burger. There is an extremely relaxing lawn/patio area where you can sit and relax with a nice beer. I really want to do this in the future. I will be back to be here at night! Most of the 4 stars comes from the relaxing atmosphere in their outdoor seating :). read more

Myagi (hope I spelled this right?) was our waiter and he was excellent! He made eye contact, got out drinks right away and was very nice. It was great having great service with a packed patio last night. Especially for a table of six. I would give him 5 stars! My only complaint is that the menu continues to get smaller and smaller. All my favorite things seem to be gone from the menu; ahi tuna wrap, turkey wrap, chicken pot pie, lavash and hummus and veggie appetizer.... And of course the Gladstoner has been downsized to nothing special anymore. I would give this portion 3 stars. read more

Made a pit stop in grand junction and was recommended Ale House for yummy cocktails. Madison was our server. He was the most personable, friendly, and accommodating person. Made our experience amazing ! Ordered the tire size pizza and some old fashioneds. read more

Never again. Yes, being a vegan is a pain in the ass for you guys. I try to be very simple. No cheese. No stinking pork ( also Jewish). Again, I get pork in my vegetarian burrito. When I point this out, I get lip service without compensation or even a flicker of concern. Get a drink. Maybe order some fries ( don't think about it too much) and be done. read more

We got stuck for maintenance and of the five locals we asked they all pointed at the Ale House. We were not disappointed. Food was devoured and the craft beers were to brag about. Great setting, highly recommend it. read more

Came here two nights in a row- pretty decent food - had the red pepper hummus and chicken satay both nights, they were fantastic. Had the artichoke dip, it was pretty decent. Loved the satay chicken though - the peanut sauce really makes it! They had some great brews on tap, lots of variety.... they have a great bar- the service was friendly and awesome. Tash was fabulous and called us honey, sweetie and sugar- felt really down home- love the way all our servers made us feel at home. I liked this place. Had the salmon entree- have it with the pesto. Also had a Cesar and the green chile too. It's a pretty solid place to grab a brew and a few eats- definitely worth checking out in Grand junction. They also had live music on The Monday we were in- definitely a must visit if you're in town. read more

Stopped in looking for a place to watch football. What a great choice! Started with a cup of green chili, it was amazing! Little bit of kick, perfect amount of chunks of meat. Followed it up with a steak, which was cooked perfect to order (medium rare) tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It was accompanied by green bean, which were good, as well as loaded french fries, which were perfect! The service was also great! The waitress was very attentive but not over bearing, which is great. I will definitely be back next time I'm through!! read more
