Love the food! I had an amazing Saturday night here enjoying the jazz music! The vibes were chill and we had amazing bar service from Skyler! What a lovely funny guy! Gone twice now and everyone is just so lovely and kind! The kale cesar is so freaking good and we got their special tonight the housemade corn dogs!

I'm not new to the area, but I only recently discovered Ocean Ale House - and now it's my go to spot! Whether my family is in town or I'm just craving some wings, this place never disappoints. The staff is always friendly, the live music is fantastic, and I’m so glad it’s part of the neighborhood!!

We were craving some craft beer after visiting the zoo and came across this place. They have a great selection of beers and food options, and the staff were very attentive and friendly!

I’ve always heard great things about OAH over the years. I went by recently for a couple of drinks and had a good time.

But today, their food fell short. It wasn’t busy inside, and I ordered at 1:30pm so it was available quick. I walked in at 1:45 and was able to grab my order real quick.

The star of their menu is the potato wedges with garlic aioli. It’s really good.

The burger was just a patty melt with onions and mustard. I wouldn’t even call it a true burger as it was on sourdough. The crust on the sourdough was burnt and I had to peel it off.

Last on the list was the fish sandwich. Fish was mostly batter, a bit over fried dark brown color and was dry. It needed a lot of tartar sauce to balance it out but there wasn’t much on there. The sourdough bread crust was also burnt and needed to be peeled off too. Over all too heavy of a sandwich.

All that for $50 and for the server to cough on his hand before handing me a pen to sign the receipt was the cherry on top.

I’ll stick to beeps down the street moving forward….

Good local, community spot. Good hang. Often live music, sometimes games/ trivia. Beer selection is excellent. Food is higher end pub grub.

Great selection of local brews from sours to hazy IPAs to imperial stouts, it’s got a beer for everyone. Thursday through Sunday live Jazz music livens up the place. Good food and good service, friendly and fun atmosphere. Fish and chips was killer, enough to feed two. Steak and fries looked great too.

Try the beers on tap by the numbers.
Try the smash burger and the wings.
He'll try everything!!!

For the past 8 yrs I've lived in an area adjacent to Ocean Ale House. Yet, it wasn't until a few months ago that I discovered Ocean Ale House for the first time. This place rocks! Great drinks, flavorful cocktails, friendly staff and their food ain't bad.

Ocean Ale House – A Local Gem!

Ocean Ale House is easily one of the best spots in town. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, friendly, and professional staff that instantly makes you feel at home. The owner, Miles, deserves a special shoutout—he clearly takes pride in creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere, and it shows. Especially during their live music nights, the energy is always on point.

The food? Absolutely top-tier Gastropub fare. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or a little more refined, they’ve got you covered. Their beer selection is outstanding, with a rotating list of local and craft brews that always impress. And the cocktails? Simply extraordinary—crafted with care and creativity, they’re a must-try.

Whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink or making it a night out, Ocean Ale House delivers every time. Highly recommend!
