“David (manager) is one of the best in the business. All of the bartenders do an amazing job. You will not find nicer billiard tables for miles and miles. Poker tournament every SUNDAY. Jenga. Darts. Foosball. Connect 4. Why would you NOT go?“

“Went on a Saturday night during March Madness before it got too crowded. Sat in a booth for 4. Haley was our server... She was AMAZING!! So easy to talk with, funny and just seem to get "us" as we were VERY hungry, thirsty and tired LOL. All our food was amazing, quick and hot... It was a bday celebration and I desperately wanted Capt. Jacks.. Someone must have given Haley a heads up and she told me that they were out.. I was disappointed and she looked a bit uncomfortable saying it. Then about 3 servers came out, with it and a candle and sang.. It was VERY cute.. We LOVE Ale House always but I will say she made the experience EXTRA fun!! The manager stopped by the table as well to check on us.. We can't wait to go back!!“

“Had a fun night with my daughter watching NBA playoff basketball and sharing some wings and salad. Savannah was an excellent server who helped us pick some great sauces for our wings. Kind of a quiet night here on a Tuesday, but great service and food made it all worthwhile.“

“I took myself out last night for a reservation of 1 and really enjoyed myself. I had David as my server and he was great! Definitely would come back to sit with him. Food was really good as well! Also must say I love the energy on the rooftop. Overall had a fantastic time.“

“There’s good and bad. Nice atmosphere and upbeat place. The food is way overpriced. The wings were the smallest wings I’ve ever seen. Six of them for over $13. No fries unless you pay extra. They have lots of tv’s but don’t plan on listening to anything. They promote MMA fights but it was on one small tv with no sound. It’s a good place to have a family fun night but not friendly for a good reasonable meal, drink and to relax. It’s June and they haven’t posted anything since March 20th.“

“Great beer-only bar. And when they say beer only they mean it. Not even food is served. But the nice atmosphere and good conversation I had with the owner Jimmy made up for it. The entire place was well put together and super clean. Including the restrooms. Would definitely stop here again the next time I’m in Gainesville.Vegetarian options: Beer is vegan ??‍♂️“
