“Lovely dinner! We did the pre-paid fixed 4 course menu. Great food, staff was wonderful. Owner came by and was able to answer my husband's questions about how many kilowatts output their solar panels produce and all about the structure, which is beautiful as well as LEED certified.“
“The area was hit with 6 inches of snow. I walked over to Barrel 21 and was the only customer crazy enough to go there while it was snowing still. (More diners came in once the snow abated.) Friendly server/bartender. I tried the Keywaydin Hard Cider, which was good and went great with the Barrel Burger (Ribeye burger which is ground in house, brown sugar, & balsamic caramelized onions, bacon, muenster, roasted garlic aioli on a potato roll) and the truffle fries (Fries topped with parmesan cheese and served with a parmesan truffle aioli.). The burger really had a steak flavor to the meat, and the bacon had a nice smoke to it, not the cheap stuff the fast food places serve that looks like it was sitting around for a while. I was visiting the area from a few hours away, otherwise, I would definitely be back again, probably to get the burger again since it was so good!Parking: Plenty of parking for Barrel 21 and their sister restaurant, Otto's Pub next door.“
“Amazing atmosphere & food! The food is exquisitely prepared & served. The waiters & waitresses are attentive & friendly. There's also a nice drink menu whether it a soda, wine, draft beer or mixed drink. You won't be disappointed!“
“I've been traveling to State College regularly for years. I had no idea that American ale House existed. Found it when looking for a Sunday brunch spot, and was pleasantly surprised. Great brunch menu along with good looking lunch and dinner menu. Reasonable prices, quality food. Sunday bloody Mary bar as a bonus. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return“
“Burger—-WOW, AMAZING!!! Decor—-so FUN!!! MUSIC—-sometimes irritating for my ear tunes into all music everywhere, servers—-GREAT and Personable!! Home-made chips could hardly be tasted for the overdone stowing in spices, especially the SALT. Thought I would try them since I had not had any in two years, but they were just as bad as then.“
“What this restaurant does well, it does particularly well. The carbonara is excellent, and easily their top entrée. The limoncello makes for an excellent dessert. Conversely, other entrées, such as the flounder, are okay but not necessarily the best you'll have. The location's ambience is very inviting, conveying, a sense of intimacy and elegance. The service is very good and attentive. It very much has the feel of a date night destination on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening.“
