“First time ever at the Ale House on Friday 1/5/24. Been driving by it for years but for some reason we never went. Now I’m mad it took me so long to get there! What a hidden gem. Very small inside but also comfortable. The bartender/server was Erin and she is awesome. Very very nice, fun and on the ball when you need a drink. I didn’t count the exact number, but they have 20+ beers on tap and also have a very extensive whiskey selection along with all your other favorite liquors. And the food? Absolutely delicious. We had the weekly special pizza which was a white garlic base, topped with spinach, diced tomatoes, diced onions and a balsamic glaze. Amazing flavor and the dough was cooked to crispy perfection. We also tried the grilled chicken sandwich with a spicy rub. Also grilled to perfection, great flavors with L/T/O on a soft Roma’s Bakery roll. Our friends that we were with each got a different burger which looked awesome as well. Not to mention, a bunch of other different menu options I saw come out to other tables looked fantastic. All in all I would highly recommend the Ale House and I believe my wife and I will be regularly customers from now on?“

“I have a long history with this building and it's previous owner, who is respectfully memorialized with a mural (RIP Hack). Used to be called The Pine Lounge. People who used to go to it now own it, so while the name has changed and some required changes have taken place (RIP the old record jukebox!) it spiritually feels like the same friendly place, with a new outdoors and a great local vibe. Not exactly for BU students, but not exactly NOT, either. They don't mind much who comes in as long as you're respectful. Buy a shirt. Make it your local spot if you live nearby, or if you want to escape the chaos of downtown. The pizzeria next door is actually pretty good too. Enjoy.“

“I frequent this bar when I visit JC because of the bartenders and the very reasonable prices. The bartenders especially Bob are friendly and efficient never having to wait for a drink. The food is really good as well and they have nice specials.“

“Just had a Christmas lunch with 15 people, the service and food were excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. As each person arrived, their drink order was taken and filled immediately and once everyone was seated, the food orders were taken. The food showed up shortly after.“

“Great food! I got the Harry's Favorite chicken sandwich with tater tots. The sandwich was excellent and a bit messy. They also provided Frank's Red Hot for the tots (I'm not a fan of ketchup). Great service and highly recommend.“

“For people passing through like my family was on the way to the eclipse this place is a perfect stop for a road trip. Pizza was a great rectangle pie the wings are some of the best I've had both in size flavor and price. Kids had a blast looking at the pictures on the wall and the old Photo Booth. It was really a perfect stop for a perfect once in a lifetime trip. Thank you union hotel!“
