Ahi Tuna salad is the best I've had, it is my reason for visiting and will bring me back again and again. The pizzas are really good, I prefer the more traditional types. If your a crawfish fan, the crawfish dip is simply amazing and a must for me when I drop by. Service is great, only complaint if any would be that its kinda small, and a very popular evening spot so it can get a little loud and cramped. read more

The Ashland Pub is great to have in the Midtown area. I have yet to be disappointed with the food - pizza, calzones, and Italian with a Southern twist. The ahi tuna salad is very popular (though I've never had it), and I enjoy the pizza and lasagna.The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. The two flat screen TVs are nice to catch a game, but aren't overwhelming while you're enjoying a meal. To me, the best thing they offer is Happy Hour. From 4-6:30 (I think those are the right times) each week night, they have half off domestic beer and well drinks. The service is great and I also like that it's non-smoking. My only complaint about the place is that it's a bit pricey for what it offers (about 10 bucks for a serving of lasagna, for example). Overall, I recommend the Ashland Pub for a relaxed, tasty meal and drinks. read more

Brilliant from top to bottom. I had a terrifying experience at Loda Bier Garten and came here after. PERFECT STAFF. Perfect menu. Perfect environment. THANK YOU! read more

Spot #6 Great Midtown spot to go on a weeknight for a glass of wine and a great pizza. House white was perfect and the unique pizza felt light and satisfying. I think it may be a little small for live music, but this is pure judgment. read more

A "Pub" atmosphere is not my first venue of choice, but I found Ashland Pub to be comfortable and inviting. More an eatery than just a pub. A little noisy, but in a fun way- not overbearing. Very nice manager- super friendly. Ashland Pub is why Midtown Mobile has such a cool vibe. Then there's the food. Oh. My. Goodness. The best thing I had on the menu (I think) was the Shrimp Pizza. To die for. First time either of us had ever had shrimp pizza, but I'll be back for some more of that! Then there was the crawfish and cheese dip! Wow! If the shrimp pizza wins the Heisman Trophy, then the crawfish dip still wins the Butkus award. Both are MVPs. And there's so much more to try!! Wide selection of adult beverages, but tonight I went for unsweetened tea. I've had some pretty bad unsweet tea in some places before because they don't give attention to details. Some of the tea I've had is more like Constant Complaint than Constant Comment. But this tea was FRESH and FLAVORFUL. A+++ Service was also top notch. Discovering cool little places like this is so much fun! read more

Ashland Pub - Pubs Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

When I first heard of Ashland, I had dreams of a dark hole-in-the-wall joint that served regular pub grub. I was quite surprised to find a pretty lively, bright joint that looked more like a bistro/cafe than a pub. We seated ourselves and glanced over the menu. They had me when I saw that they stocked the bar with PBR! Not many places in Mobile carry it. I ordered the Conecuh and Chicken Po-Boy and my Girlfriend ordered the Mahi-Mahi angel hair pasta dish. It did take quite awhile for the food to come out but we expected that since the little space was packed out. When we got the food, we went to work. The Po-Boy was what you expected it to be. Imagine a grilled provolone cheese sandwich on french bread with cuts of conecuh sauage and grilled chicken. Wasn't mind-blowing but not bad either. The dish that did blow our minds was the Mahi-Mahi dish. My girlfriend is one of those non-adventurous types, she always gets pasta no matter where we go because its a safe bet for her. She said this was the best pasta he has ever had. The fish was cooked to perfection. The noodles weren't overcooked or rubbery. The fish, tomato and cheese combo was on point. It was so good! All-in-all, a great visit for us. We saw that they had an extensive pizza menu but we wanted to wait til next visit to try that out. Ashland is a great spot to enjoy food and conversation. read more

We live close and go here often. Don't go if you're in a hurry. They are busy just about every night of the week and usually only have 1 or 2 servers covering the whole place. We usually wait a while for food too, but not annoyingly long. It can also get loud in there, which is not the restaurant's fault, but during a good happy hour, I feel like I have to yell to talk to my table. The crawfish dip is incredible! You won't regret getting it. My favorite entree is the ahi tuna salad. I've probably had it over a dozen times and it has been great almost every time. One time, the tuna was way too cooked, as I like it rare. And one time the tuna tasted old and freezer-burned. But usually, it hits the spot. Never get the "add shrimp" to the regular salad. That shrimp tastes like they just microwave some cocktail shrimp and toss it on there. Poorly seasoned and rubbery. My husband usually gets the meatball sub- the meatballs are huge- too big to bite into for me, but he likes it. I am also a big fan of the pizzas and calzones. The pizzas are a little on the pricey side. The "tragically hip" is my favorite, but I haven't had a bad one. The calzones are huge and usually I have enough for TWO leftover meals. read more

I absolutely love Ashland Pub. Not only is it a mile from my home in Midtown but the food is great! Their bruschetta is my favorite and I could literally eat it multiple times a week (or day). They have an upbeat staff with friendly bartenders and waitresses. It isn't a large location but its the perfect well kept secret from tourist that can populate the downtown area. My husband always appreciates the beer selection and the "everyone knows your name" atmosphere. If we don't visit the Ashland Pub on a weekly basis, its rare. The only thing I need them to do now is lower the delivery minimum to $10 so I can get my bruschetta delivered and enjoy it while wearing my pajamas. read more

We visited this place for lunch. We ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs and the White BBQ Chicken Po-boy , which came with a side of potato chips. Both were excellent . The po-boy had just the right amount of onions,sauce and chicken. My wife thought the spaghetti was a little to "saucy" but I thought it was just the right amount, as I like my spaghetti "saucy" that being said ,I liked the Po-boy the best. Ashland Pub has a good selection of taps and happy hour is from 3 to 6 M-F. The service on the day we visited was great. Crystal couldn't have been anymore attentive , she was GREAT!! I will definitely return. I'm sorry it took me so long to eat at this place because I've been missing out. read more

We have only been to this establishment once as the location is not the most convenient but give it a shot. We had cheese bread and pastas. They were delicious! They were consistently crowded so obviously it's a local favorite. They have some unique takes on dishes. Also had drinks from the bar, they too were delicious. Try to get Ashley as your server bc she really does take care of you while you're there. Thanks Ashley and Ashland Pub! See you soon! read more

Recently moved to town and love this little hole in the wall! I love the Hawaiian Pizza so yummy!! They also have a great Sunday brunch

Great place for food or a pint, for date night or lunch. There's a lot to like about Ashland - it's got a groovy interior, it's located in an interesting area of town, and the food never disappoints. After the first time I ate here, it quickly became my go-to place for Calzones and "date-night" pizza. Sometimes you're in the mood for a slice, and don't want to have to take your special someone to Picklefish or Mellow Mushroom, ya know? They usually have a decent selection of beers on tap, although they've had trouble keeping them stocked in the past. Although there are better places in the same upper-middle restaurant niche (I'm looking at you, Royal Scam), Ashland is an excellent place to grab a few pints, bring a date, or swing by for lunch. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! My husband and I stopped by today for a late lunch because we had heard good things- we moved to Mobile from Los Angeles recently. We sat up at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender ( Abby) she was extremely friendly and helpful- turned me on to a new beer . We ordered a large pizza to split- it was EXCELLENT! Had extra to take home too Overall I highly recommend the Ashland pub read more

Pizza dip takes the lead. Love how cozy it feels, it's locally owned, bread pudding was amazing. It's very clean and I've never had a bad experience. read more

Ashland Pub used to be a great place. Total lack of customer service now. Just spent 12 minutes on the phone listening to staff trash talk each other rather than taking my to go order. Food has been in decline for a while, but staff used to make up for the shortcomings of the kitchen. There are too many alternatives in the area for Ashland to not to have maintained high standards. read more

There are 2 things that lead to disappointment. Unrealized expectations or unrealistic expectations. In this case, I think it's fair to say I was expecting better. I'd never been to Ashland Midtown Pub before, but from what exposure I did get, I thought the place was going to be ...well, different. To be fair, I was very comfortable and felt the place looked very ....cool. If I were still a drinking man, I'd really enjoy a very cold beer here on a hot day like today. I met an old friend here for lunch on a Saturday. The place wasn't too busy, and I was surprised that the bartender was saddled with all the tables and the bar during a Saturday lunch. She was certainly capable however, although our drinks (water) could have been refilled a little more frequently. I was using a groupon, as that was the only way anyone would ever get me to spring for a 12 inch 16 dollar pizza. I got the Opa!!! which had a great crust and an interesting assortment of toppings. For some reason, the brown olives surprised me, although they're clearly listed on the menu. Those were a little salty for my taste. Now, overall, the pizza wasn't bad, but to me, it just wasn't any better than a frozen World Table or Sam's Club pizza. Worth about 5 to 7 bucks, tops. But, I didn't have to open the box or bake it and heat up my house, so it's probably worth a little extra - but certainly not 16 bucks. That's the only reason they only get 3 stars. It's fair to say that gourmet ingredients are wasted on me. I like good food, but I think I've got the palate of a goat. If you're okay with frozen pizza, then I think this place might not be for you if you're picking up the check. If you're one of those foodie types who can taste the difference between a fresh strawberry and a frozen one after it's been blended into a smoothie, than you might be better able to appreciate this place. Is it worth going again for me? Sure - as long as I have a groupon and remember to avoid the salty olives. Hope this helps you choose wisely. read more

Fantastic brunch! I had the captain crunch coated French toast and it is stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries! Absolutely delicious! You also get a side of Gouda cheese grits that are some of the best of tastes! read more

Every neighborhood needs a pub like this! Whether you're stopping in for a drink at the bar, coming for dinner, ordering takeout pizza, or enjoying 1 cent refills on mimosas for a boozey Sunday brunch, this place will meet all your needs and then some. Their pizza crust is light, sauce flavorful, and topping combinations inspired. On a whim I tried the white BBQ chicken sandwich and now have a new favorite sandwich. Don't get me started on the crab cake eggs Benedict served on top of fried green tomatoes... there just isn't enough space in this review. The place has that cosy local pub/restaurant feel with local art on the walls and wait staff that knows everyone's name. It's the type of place where you could walk in and say, "I want the usual," but why would you limit yourself to just one thing on the menu?! LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

I was in town to see the folks and take in a little Mardi Gras Mobile Style (yep, just in case you were wondering - Mobile, Al was first - sorry New Orleans). Anyway, we decided to check out the Friday evening parade and as usual, all of the restaurants filled up downtown. With some excellent navigation skills by this guy, we ended up in the Mid Town-ish area. We passed by this place called Ashland Pub - the parking lot was full, but we decided to brave the crowds. It's a really small place, but fortunately someone was leaving when we arrived. I would say Gastropub exactly, but it's about the closest description that I can come up with. They have a fair amount of regional brews (probably could expand that a little) and fair amount of wine selections. They do have $2 PBR - that's pretty freakin awesome. The major theme of the restaurant aspect is pizza/Italian. We had a few people with us that night, so we opted for 2 pizzas - Cheeseburger (I was personally in a very cheesy mood) and the Mediterranean Shrimp. Both pizzas were excellent! The waiter said that the Cheeseburger was their cheesiest pizza and that was no lie. I think it went well with the chunks of burger. Pesto and shrimp are always a winning combo in my book (just a tad bit too salty) and that combo went well with the thinner more "brick oven" type of crust (I'm sure they don't have a brick oven, but somehow they pulled it off nicely). Pricing was not bad at all - both large pizzas were price in the lower $20 range. The service was a little on the slow side, but like I said - it was busy. Overall, a great post parade experience. Next time I am in Mobile visiting the folks, I will be back! read more

This is one of my favorite brunch spots in Midtown. They have an awesome menu with stuff that you really can't get anywhere else, like Captain Crunch French toast stuffed with cream cheese (it's just as decadent as it sounds). They're kind of known for their pizza, so make sure to try the breakfast pizza if you're here for brunch. Suzanne is an awesome bartender and also makes some bomb ass bloody Mary's that are generously garnished. They also have bottomless mimosas, but don't cut them with too much juice like some other brunch places I've been in Mobile. It's kind of small inside, so it can feel a little crowded when they're super busy, but it's not really all that unpleasant. Parking also tends to fill up when they're super busy, but that's to be expected. Regardless, if you live in Mobile and haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out. read more

I really cannot believe it took me this long to experience Ashland's. The place is small, but it's a very quaint and intimate type setting. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart who made the experience even better than expected, and she was as sweet to everyone in the establishment. The food she recommended to us was so good... Like probably the best food in mobile. Our appetizers consisted of the pizza dip and spinach and artichoke dip; YUM. The four people (including me) ordered the Italian poboy, the white bbq chicken poboy, the Ahi tuna salad, and the pork sliders. All of us were silent for the entire meal and that never happens! The food was so good we were too busy experiencing euphoria to speak! I will definitely be back, and I am ready to try the rest of the menu! read more

The crawfish dip makes the trip worth it then you get a pizza that makes you forget about the dip; crazy good one of my favorite places to eat! read more

Ashland Pub has it all -- good food, good service, good atmosphere. Nothing about it is phenomenal, but it's close to home and pretty consistent, so we like it. The cheesy crawfish dip is a great appetizer and comes with A LOT of dip. The pizza is good for the area, not great, but definitely just as good as mellow mushroom. The ingredients are fresh and plentiful. It's a small place, and often crowded, but everyone is really friendly and it has a good vibe. They change up their menu with different chalkboard specials, which keeps things interesting. Overall, a great place to drink a few beers and enjoy some good pizza. read more

The food is wonderful! The noise level is terrible! We have dinner here often and try to go early because when it gets crowded around 7, it is so loud and I have to leave. The last time we ate there, one of our party requested no garlic on his Calzone. Duly noted by waitress. But then there was extra garlic on the Calzone . So he sent it back and we waited another 30 minutes for a replacement. Then got it to go as the noise level rose. read more

Great place for a low key date night for gourmet pizza & beer/wine.

Great food and atmosphere. Had the crawfish dip and it was amazing and a meal in itself. My sis and I split the calzone and it was perfect.

My experience at Ashland was nothing to write home about. Everything was "ok" from the service to the food. I ordered the Chicken and Conecuh Sandwich. It didn't list cheese in the ingredients, so lactose intolerant people beware. The sandwich was $8.75 and came with chips. I thought that was a bit pricey, especially when the chips were a bag of Lays. At least serve some kettle chips or something a little bit nicer. My friends ordered a pizza. They seemed fairly content with it although they said the crust was flavorless. Maybe the pasta dishes are a better choice? The restaurant is small and loud. I feel the space could be better utilized with some bench seating along the wall. The positioning of the tables is crowded and awkward. The restaurant came off as a new business, still working out the tweeks. Overall, I wasn't thrilled. It was ok. read more

This is a very nice local spot in town. I've eaten here quite a bit and try to order new items each visit. The pizza is quite good. For a while the crust was off and seemed worse quality wise. However, the pie we ordered most recently really scored high marks for me and gave me hope that they've fixed their crust issue and are turning out quality pies like they did back in the day. read more

Excellent food!! This is indeed a bar but I took my husband and children anyway because it's gotten such good reviews. Server looked like it would hurt her to crack a smile. Did a good job but clearly hates her job. read more

I've been here twice in one week. The first time with a friend who introduced me to the Ashland Pub, then I brought my husband for brunch. Our server was LaDonna (or Aunt LaLa or just La). You will know her when you see her because she looks just like Valeria Bertinelli! She could not have been nicer. She enlightened us about the menu and drink choices. The drinks and food were above par. We were awed by the MiMo Benedict, opting for scrambled eggs over the poached, The servings are very generous and we both took home enough for another meal. If you don't visit soon, you will be like us and sorry you didn't discover this gem sooner. read more

Went for Sunday brunch. It was supposed to be a jazz brunch till 2pm. Got there at 1:15. There was no jazz, didn't really care, but asked for brunch menus and was told brunch was over. I was pretty bummed because that's what we were there for. They have a lot of pizza. Mah. I've heard from other people that it's good but I could care less about pizza so... They had a special, which was fish encrusted with pecans served over risotto. It was good but a little bland. My husband had a pasta dish that was also lacking substance but overall tasted ok. I might be willing to try this place again but if I go for brunch I think I will call first to see if they are planning to end it early. read more

Fantastic food and a great atmosphere! It looks and feels like 'Cheers' but has food like an amazing restaurant. A must go to for informal dining and fun. read more

Great food and great service! Food was exactly what we ordered and hot. Salad was fresh and dressing was wonderful!

This is great place for happy hour or brunch. Great food selections and portions. Mimosas are an absolute hit!!!!

"The hook up" was delicious. It was recommended by the server, and we ordered it after being disappointed by the Mahi Mahi. Good place for a drink and a pie. read more

really great lunch place!!!! and a great location too. Might be my favorite pizza joints in town. Sandwiches are great too.

This place is in a very bad location with very little parking. I realize it is supposed to be a pub but it looked pretty crappy inside. We sat on patio furniture inside. My husband's beer glass had a large chip out of the bottom. I ordered the Mahi Mahi caprese. The fish was way overcooked. Parts were rock hard. The sauce on the spaghetti noodles was very thick. I'm not sure why there were really thick slices of roma tomatoes on top covered in a vat of pesto. It didn't taste good either. I thought about turning around and walking out when I saw the place. I wish I had. read more

Best crab cake I have ever had to date- no fried ; all crab. (and I've had a lot of crab cake..) Great service. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back for more!! Happy to have it in our new neighborhood! read more

Fits all the criteria for a good neighborhood pub. Good food. The Hook Up pizza is amazingly delicious. The crawfish dip is to die for. Always a special of the chef's creation and reasonably priced wine and drinks. Small so certains maybe busy. A favorite. read more
