“My new friends treated me to this place for my Birthday. Didn’t even know it existed. We showed up when they were short of staff but the wait wasn’t horrible.

Very little options. I chose fish n chips. I would recommend because it was a larger portion to have a plate to be able to work with. Maybe a few more sauce options.

View was pretty neat location and I loved the octopus fire pit which we got to sit infront of. Fries were salted perfectly. Just wish there were other sauce options.

Ladies there were all really nice! Will be back!“

“This place loves garlic. Garlic fries are super garlicky and the Gilroy Pasta is too. That pasta had some great flavors but was missing something. Their California Cuban is very good. What really is the best is their beans that comes with the tacos - seriously great.

Tried their key lime pie and it was 2 stars. Not tart enough and not limey enough.

I’ll definitely be back.

Service is great btw.“

“Pleasantly surprised... The menu is full of all the generic American food you can expect just about anywhere but it is a much superior version of that food. Everything came with a piece of cake that wasn't so great, and coleslaw that also wasn't so great. It was so much food I didn't really want to eat them anyway. The staff were very friendly, it was a very comfortable and homey environment.“

“This is the first microbrewery I can remember visiting. It’s been a staple of the central coast since August 2000. They avoid all the latest trends, instead focusing on authentic English-style ales, hence the name.

Opened by Peter, Rosemary and Karen Blackwell, English Ales brewing focused on emphasizing malt over heavy hopping.

The venue is kid-friendly, open daily from 12 PM, and features a strong community vibe with a Mug Club boasting over 1,400 members, where regulars have personalized mugs hanging from the ceiling.

English Ales Brewery produces eight core beers and four rotating seasonals, which have become staples in bars all across the Central Coast. These include: 1066 Pale Ale, Fat Lip Amber Ale, Big Sur Golden, Monk’s Brown Ale(a personal favorite), Pendragon Strong Ale, and Dragon Slayer IPA.

They do offer a flight of 11 mini pints for sampling their range, from light ales to porters.

English Ales truly is a “Cheers-like” bar where staff and regulars create a welcoming, homey environment. Despite its unassuming location in a business park, the interior features a cozy bar, comfy chairs, and a dartboard, with Mug Club mugs adding to the neighborhood feel.

They have a full kitchen offering food like Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, onion rings, and Italian wedding soup. s feel like locals.

In April 2025, the Blackwell family retired and sold English Ales to Mark Francis who will carry on the English Ales tradition.

English Ales has charm, personality, and a welcoming atmosphere. Parking is limited. They keep their restrooms clean.“
