Way to small for the crowd size. Wait forever for a drink. Tables full of empty bottles and glasses. Buss boy spilled a drink on us accidentally but never came back with towels. Not a horrid place. Definitely should try it at least once.

On the weekends, this is the "in place"
However, we were there sunday night and had absolutely great service and watched some football
All the servers were pretty attentive and "Storm" was one of the best cocktail mixers around. Thanks everyone

Couldn’t have had a worse time. Service was terrible. Such a shame for the beautiful area it is in. Would recommended going to any other bar such as the Gator Club or Mattison’s. You blew it Cask and Ale!

The food is surprisingly fantastic! I didn’t even realize that they served a separate brunch menu… going back for brunch today!!

6 girlfriends and me went to Cask & Ale Friday night to hear Dirty Bird, we walked in only to hear the music blasting so loud we couldn't talk, I ask Brian the leader of the band can you turn it down he said sure but never did, I ask one of the bartenders she said she would tell the manager as I had to yell across the bar 2 times so she could here me, nothing changed, This is the 3rd time our group went there always to hear the same thing BLASTING music !!! We stood way in the back and we still were yelling to talk. We ask people around us do you think the music is loud and only 1 person thought it was ok. We had 1 drink and left. I have no idea who's in charge but you have a narrow bar and there's no reason to have music that loud and my friends are all in their late 20s early 30s soooo were not old. We will never go back there, It's simple turn down the music your a bar not a night club.
The girl bartender outside seemed to be having a bad day not very friendly. The 2 guys that took care of us were very helpful and friendly. They didn't have enough servers but the 2 guys did their best.

Went with a big group of friends on my friend’s 21st, bouncer randomly walks up to me(I walked in just fine, he was just sitting in the back of the bar) and accosts me for my id. I’m a tourist from South Carolina, and my id is expired- he refuses to hear me out and kicks me out, and after I told my group, he began accosting them as well and kicking them out (all who had valid ids) and made a scene in the middle of the bar. Very disappointed in my cask and ale experience.

I come to this place for the music band, which is always great. But the staff can be a bit rude or not friendly. It gets really busy, and it's tough to stay clean when drinks get spilled on you.

We enjoyed our brunch at Cask, Karen and Jake took excellent care of us from recommending the best of but also making sure we were always taken care of no matter how busy they were. I was impressed by the service I viewed them giving all guest as this is important in any establishment. Matt Ragas the jazz singer/ band brought an ambiance that will have me and my friends coming back for more. Thank you for an amazing Sunday Cask!
Extremely rude bouncer
