Since this was bought out the food and service has gone down hill. My family used to be regulars here but haven't been back in over a year since the new owners changed everything around. It went from quality, to crap. Don't waste your time.

In the past my husband and I were frequent visitors to The Ale House. We especially enjoyed their roast beef sandwiches, a signature dish. Over the past year or so the food has slipped a lot. Tonight we thought we would give it another try. The food was terribly disappointing for a very expensive price point of $67.00 for 2 (including drinks). The bartender, Jerry, was great, however, and he truly tried to steer us to the right entries. Their roast beef sandwich is so tough and totally not worth what they charge. The only chance you have is to ask for a rare roast beef sandwich, which is more tender, and they didn't have that available at 6:00pm on a Friday night. Imagine that?? It is a shame to see a place decline like they have. The new owner apparently doesn't care.

My family and I go here often for dinner and always order the same thing - their Roast Beef Sandwiches. They are delicious and fresh and very rarely have any gristle that interrupts your meal. They recently redid the interior and made it non-smoking so while somewhat noisy (half of the seating is around a bar), their food is delicious.

I've been coming to the Ale House with a few good friends of mine in "the regulars" gang on Saturday afternoons for awhile now, and nothing but positive things to say about this place. Between the helpful, attentive staff, good drinks, and banter across the bar, this place is a CHEERS lover's dream. The food always comes out quickly and is hot, you get what you order at the Ale House, no frills, and that's exactly what they're going for. Plenty of great beer on tap as well! As other reviews have said, it is tucked away in a shopping plaza, so it can be hard to find. If you're looking for a bite and a brew and some good company, the Ale House will have a barstool waiting for you.

This spot is LEGIT! I'm in the area about one weekend a month visiting family but I always make it a point to drop into the Ale House. It's easy to miss because it's tucked into this huge shopping center with an Acme and a McDonalds, but it's definitely worth checking out! The place is an old-school kind of a dive and it's got kind of a dated look to it, but that's why I love it. They've got these hand-carved hot roast beef sandwiches that are outstanding! They come with a side of au jus and you can upgrade your cheese to a sharp provolone thats great. If you're sitting in the right spot you can actually watch your sandwich being made through this huge service window which looks into the kitchen, they pull this hunk of roast out of a heated tray and carve it right there on the spot, it's phenomenal. I like the bar a lot too, it's a really large horseshoe shaped bar that takes up the front half of the place (there are booths in the rear) and its surrounded by TV's that always have sports on. The bar is dark just like bars are supposed to be, and they've got $2.50 Rolling Rock drafts all day, every day, outstanding!!! They've also got a big selection of craft beers on tap and they know how to crank out cocktails too, I always see folks drinking Martinis and cosmos and stuff like that. The bartenders are always very friendly and attentive, you never need to ask for a refill, they're on it. It's definitely a neighborhood spot, the folks sitting around the bar all seem to know each-other. I don't know anyone in there but I'm always treated well and taken care of by the bartenders. Long story short, go check this place out, you'll love it!

Good bartender. Around 13 beers on tap. Could use a few more televisions. Had a roast beef sandwich at the bar. It was not very good. Unevenly cooked and tuff. I will not order again. It is an older crowd here 45 *. Seems clean but a bit dated. NOT sold on the kitchen. Bathroom needs a little help.

Sometimes you just need comfort food and this little hidden pub is a good place to get it. It's tucked away in a Plaza with a small sign and easy to miss but legions of regulars know exactly where it is. The front of the large single room is dominated by a horseshoe bar. Most of the tables take up the back of the restaurant. Some people find the atmosphere a little dark. Their signature roast beef sandwich will cost you $7.25 and it's darn good. How about this classic comfort food meal? An 8 oz. chopped sirloin platter ($11.95). It comes with mashed or fries and coleslaw. Of course most folks have it with dark gravy. If you are a true carnivore you can step up to the 1 lb. version for $14.55. Something I love is the taste from the grill marks on the meat. These folks also have plenty of seafood choices. This is a solid three star place that's been around for decades. No fancy spices or herbs here just basic American comfort food cooked and served well.

They have a decent amount of beers on tap, atmosphere is drab and nobody greets you when you walk into the place. I had lobster bisque and it had so much salt in it I couldn't even finish one bite. The waitress is friendly but not at all knowledgable about beers (the place is called ale house.) They have a lot of work to do to get this place where it needs to be considering newtown is a busy restaurant area. I had a grilled chicken arugula salad with apples and blue cheese, wasn't bad. Overall not bad

My boyfriend and I ate here today during his lunch break. I liked the cozy atmosphere but the food was lackluster. I ordered a cup of lobster bisque and a caesar salad with grilled chicken while my boyfriend got a cup of clam chowder and a chicken parm sandwich. When my salad arrived, it had no grilled chicken. No big deal - the waitress might have misheard me and I was fine eating the salad sans chicken. Although the salad was nicely chopped, it was dull and didn't contain much to justify it's price. It was very light romaine, a few croutons, and grated cheese sprinkled over top. I did appreciate that the dressing came on the side but to me it seemed more like a side salad than something I would eat as a meal. The lobster bisque was thick and rich but the flavor wasn't that great. I did like the clam chowder that my boyfriend ordered. He felt that his chicken parm sandwich was just okay. I can't really comment on the beer selection as we only got a Sam Adams and didn't try anything else. Overall, this place was okay for lunch but I feel like it was kind of overpriced for the quality of food. It's not expensive, but for the price, I think I could have gotten better food elsewhere. Maybe it was just what we ordered, but with so many places to try in the area, I don't think we will be back to the Ale House.

They have the best food around. Great craft brews and ice cold beer. This is my wife and I's go to spot. The staff is friendly and courteous. I'm glad we have a place like this so close to home.

I haven't been to the Ale House in years...many years...Back then...it was a dark, dirty, dungeon...Since then...its been painted, the lights have been turned on, and it seems like a much friendlier place. The bar is mostly regulars who are very friendly with the staff...A lot of people know a lot of people's names in there...I stopped in because I knew what I wanted...a Hot Roast Beef Sandwich! I went back for that same reason...the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich...and I'll go back again for the same reason...The Hot Roast Beef Sandwich...I've had 2 in one week now, and will try to hold out a few more days before I get my third...I'm dangerously close to having someone in there know my name...and have a feeling that they will after a few more sandwiches! I ordered mine wet with american cheese...wet means they quickly dunk the sandwich in the Au Jus...the beef was cut VERY thin and layered nicely on a Kaiser roll with some american cheese with a little cup of Au Jus on the side...a bit of horseradish and I was set to dig in...I did not specify rare or medium or well done, but I have heard others order it that way...I got a wonderful combination of rare and medium sliced beef layered on the sandwich with tender loving care...I haven't come across any gristle in a sandwich yet and left absolutely NOTHING on my plate, aside from a bit of Au Jus...the lack of gristle is a huge plus...You won't have to fight this sandwich to eat it, it will go down nice and smooth! They also have hand carved turkey breast, but as I said...the beef was the reason I was there, and the reason I'll be going back! They have added more beers on tap and have a better selection of bottled beer as well. The service was solid both times I was there...friendly wait staff, and not just to the regulars! I'm a bit mystified at the 1 star reviews(friends of the old owners?), but I have only had the roast beef sandwich so can't speak on much else, but they get 4 stars in my book!

Stopped in at 11:45 on a Monday and the place was empty. Started to fill up a bit by the time I left, Very tasty (and bug) BLT for $6.75. Basic, good "bar food" and sandwiches and lots of beers on tap. Not bad!
(3)John D.
Really good roast beef and short rib sandwiches. The beer list is pretty impressive as they have drafts from all over the country. Pretty discreet place in a shopping center. No frills but a good, laid back bar to come for food and beer.
