Had the health platter of wings & garlic - parm fries. Wings were admirable (nice size not too much sauce) but a little heavy on the cayenne/paprika flavor (not your traditional tangy vinegar buffalo style) Laid Back Blonde to wash it all down. A real life saver when you need to eat after 10pm in GJ. appetizer & pizza only after 10. Works for me. read more

I'm not a beer guy, and I was there for a business lunch, but this place was very good. It had comfortable chairs, great lighting, and a very nice atmosphere. The food was good too! read more

I'm giving it 4 stars for the overall experience .. 3 stars would be for the food though. It is actually pretty good now .. The food used to suck IMO, but it's been a lot better for the past 1-2 years or so ... One of the best places to grab drinks Wed-Saturday night. The patio is the best in town during late spring and summer. read more

Nifty little brew house whose alcoholic wares we were unfortunately unable to sample due to needing to make Utah as the next stop on a road trip; nevertheless the food was outstanding (my wife had one of their salads, and I had a New York steak). The patio was wonderful, and our service attentive and snappy. read more

We had a delicious meal here and good service. The outside looked inviting, but it was too hot this particular day. We didn't care for the ice tea, it did not taste brewed, (yes we are fussy ice tea drinkers) our waiter had no trouble with substituting our tea for a soda. We will definitely eat here again when we are passing through. read more

Great place to watch a game and have a beer but the food is the most average to just below average bar food I've ever had. I'll skip over this one next time. read more

The Ale House in Grand Junction was a great spot to grab a couple of beers and nosh, with a group of friends. The beer is directly from Breckenridge Brewing, so you get the traditional Avalanche Amber, 471 IPA, etc, which is good. They also had a good variety of guest taps from the NW (Deschutes and Bridgeport) and Stone in North County San Diego. The food was pretty traditional pub fare, my wife had a vegetarian burrito and I had the black bean burger, which were both average. 3 stars primarily because the server dropped some attitude when we requested 'no meat' on our nachos and proceed to provide TERRIBLE service for the remainder of the night. In fact, another server came by and apologized for the poor service we received and asked if she could do anything to pacify our needs. Would definitely return for the variety of beer and extensive menu, as well as the upbeat and happening atmosphere. read more

The Ale House has a fabulous patio with an outdoor bar. The atmosphere makes the restaurant. I highly recommend the Gladstoners. It's served in a very large mug and great summer drink. read more

Solid; have not had a bad meal here. I try to stick with the salads or burgers.

Good beer selection and attentive service with decent food as well. Sat outside and enjoyed it except for the cigarette smoke from other patrons. read more

The outside patio in the summer was an awesome area. They had a band playing and lots of room to mingle. The beer is good. Lots of Colorado beer and I felt obligated to try most of them. I would definitely return. read more

Good place to go in GJ, friendly waitstaff, good food and nice beer selection

We came here while during our first stop for college tours. My daughter is the burger lover and I had her select a location via Yelp. We were famished, so at this point peanut butter and jelly would have been amazing. The place was pretty empty when we got there. It was probably not the best burger I have ever eaten, but I was hungry so it did get eaten. Although it was overcooked and dry. However, our young server (I feel bad because his name slips my mind) was great and did an amazing job with our table service. Food....eh, well, do you see a photo of yumminess? read more

It's hard to please me as I am super picky but, we were SUPER pleased with our visit last night. We sat at in the bar area and Alex was our server. Extremely upbeat and positive and gave us great recommendations. We were there for the Alabama football game and he tried to get the big screen for us but he still managed to put it on a tv we could catch. Alex kept coming by, checking on us.....super attentive!! I got the Asian salad which was amazing, my husband tried the Cuban but didn't like it too much so switched to the steak which was cooked perfectly. My son had the bacon Mac n cheese and not a drop was left on his plate. We also had the sausage plate and 2 carne asada tacos as apps and my son devoured his and we were super please with the sausage. We ate desert as well, the cobbler and it was delicious!! We will go back, thank you for a great family dinner!! read more

The 2 hosts on the shift Saturday morning were both absolutely RUDE and did not know what they were doing. They gave rude looks and had a horrible attitude from the minute we walked in the door, and also told us they would not let us sit outside when we looked for ourselves and there were plenty of tables. Not to mention one of our orders were messed up twice. read more

Have been in several times recently and all have been great. Fantastic service and great food. We have a soft spot for the bacon Mac and cheese, so good. I just tried the fish and chips and man it was delicious. I usually enjoy malt vinegar but this did not need it at all. Our son had a kids cheese burger and loved it. Staff has always been spot on. If you have not stopped in you should. read more

We went here for lunch on a Monday and I must say I was surprised to see how robust the lunch crowd was.... that's pretty much where the surprises end though. A cute atmosphere, if you like the brew pub type feeling. Our food was mediocre (I got a turkey club, manfriend got a bison burger) and the service was just fine. I wouldn't go rushing back though; I really didn't feel it was anything special. read more

Good food awesome beer menu, I love how they list the abv and the ibu for the beers on the menu. Just awesome.

The ale house menu had changed which was disappointing however the service was good and the location was convenient to where we were staying. read more

I have always liked the venue here. Open and good for people watching. Bartenders were super friendly. Really enjoyed talking with them. Even though it was very busy, they could still chat a bit. Never waited for a drink. We were there on a Friday night and that seemed to be where everyone was that night! Crowd was on the younger side, 20's maybe early 30's. Fun vibe, would come back! read more

The food was good, kids meals were way better though. Beer list (of course was fantastic!). Service absolutely stole the show! Our server was phenomenal! Fun, friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable!! A great experience, for sure! read more

We are visiting from California and our uncle was telling us how great this place is. He was right! All of our food was extremely delicious... even the kids meals! I got the southwest steak salad and it was amazing. All the food was full of flavor. The server was great (didn't catch his name). It was clean and a great ambiance. Will definitely be returning if given the chance read more

Live down the street from the Ale house. Have gone there about a handful of times and it's a decent place. Awesome location and great place to enjoy beer and excellent food during the warmer months. There's pool tables and high bar stool tables you can eat and a fabulous outdoor patio.the only downside is the price it's a wee bit expensive to eat. read more

Consistent and has a great variety on their menu. Always a good choice to take clients or have a happy hour drink. My one complaint is that they always seem to take my favorite items off the menu. read more

This place has an amazing white pizza, it's huge btw. Great beer selection and very cozy spot.

I signed up for Yelp just to write this review. WOW!! Not only did we have a great meal and great service, the kind folks The Ale House went above and beyond! My daughter left her jacket there and didn't realize it until the next day when we were back in Denver. She called and spoke to Anna who personally mailed her jacket back to her. Amazing! Good people. Good food. Go there. read more

Very good menu, excellent food, friendly service! We shared the chicken satay app, we loved it! I had a SW chicken salad that was delicious and my husband had the chicken Brie sandwich which he said was fantastic. Portions were good, not huge, but more than enough food--which I prefer to overwhelmingly big portions. We could've had more chicken satay though, it came with two skewers. read more

Great food, great beer selection, great atomosphere. Plenty of tables for dining with a partner or with a big group, with an extensive bar surrounded by TV's. The servers are great and very attentive. Whether you're looking for a nice dinner or a relaxed atmosphere to watch a game, Ale House is the place to go. read more

Slow lunch service consisted of a flat beer and a reuben with no cabbage. The evening scene there is a loud, overpriced and overcrowded zoo. No, I'm not 75. I understand the bar is popular, but jeebus. read more

Good food and even better beer. My wife also said there wine was good. My only problem was I specifically asked for a booth and they said they don't give booths to party's of 2 then after being seated we saw people who were. Even with that being said we will come back again. read more

They have really good calamares here! Best in town so far... crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful in the inside which comes with excellent marinara sauce read more

We were in town for a recruiting visit and found this place via yelp. Fantastic service, the waitress answered all of our questions and was there conveniently when we needed. The food was excellent! We had the mahi mahi fish tacos, green chile chili, and fish and chips. We were very satisfied with all 3 dishes. Definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried it! read more

Believe the reviews which explain this to be a mediocre place. I ate the Salmon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. The bartender suggested this meal of the two I was most interested. In her opinion it is unique and one of The Ale House's signature dishes. It most definitely was not worth the $11.50 price. I also had the beer sampler, which is pre selected from the Breckenridge Brewery taps. The atmosphere inside is similar to an Applebees or Chilis. The service was preoccupied with larger tables. I should have trusted the "Meh" responses posted but I also asked the hotel staff where Im staying and they recommended the Ale House. I do not. Im sure there are more authentically local, fun, and better priced for the quality of food places. read more

This place is delicious with a great variety of unique foods. And also probably alcoholic drinks but idk Cus I'm 20. Anyway, it's amazing and has a great atmosphere. I bet it would make a great place for a date but I have not been on one there and am not speaking from any experience. 10/10 must recommend. read more

The quality of the food and service depend on what night you visit.

The patio looks very inviting from the street; trees, grass, cozy tables-but the minute you walk back there it's like walking into a giant ashtray. They say smoking is only allowed in the grassy area but it doesn't matter. I even used to smoke and the place was a huge turn off. So we resigned to the dining room where we sampled the brews and I wasn't really impressed. They all tasted very similar-like drinking a fruit basket. It REALLY made me long for a Sam Adams. The tiny appetizer we tried was ok but again the blah factor. I miss Gladstones.... read more

FANTASTIC food and great service! I'm not an ale or brewery kind of person but this place is terrific. Nice, cozy interior! The food was super fresh and very tasty. The service was excellent too! Whoever is the chef is doing a GREAT job! read more

Ale house has great beer, the best patio in Western Colorado and an amazing staff. Ahi Tuna wrap is an all time favorite!

Just went here for beers but WOW! The server Ian was cool and very knowledgable about the entire tap list which was extensive. Had a Big Sky Moose Drool Nitro and Breck Imperial IPA that was other worldly. We sat outside under the large trees on a calm beautiful Western Slope night. It was a perfect date night with my wife. Prices for the beers they have on tap here are better than anywhere in the Grand Valley. read more

I was looking forward to a Bison Burger they had on the menu. Big disappointment! It was a square thin patty, picture a Wendy's burger except worse, for 15 dollars. It had to be frozen patty. On the bright side the bacon was good and the pork green chili was also good. read more
