I attended a wedding at the Boston Ale House, and the venue and staff were absolute perfection! The space was ideal for a wedding, with several different areas to mingle, including outdoor seating with a cozy fire pit. The staff provided excellent service and were incredibly friendly and attentive. I also loved how the venue had multiple areas for appetizers, carving stations, desserts, and more--it made the entire evening flow perfectly. The sound system was incredible, and the DJ was SO good that I danced all night! But the best part was the FOOD! I'm a foodie, and WOW!!! There were so many amazing dishes--it was honestly insane how good everything was. You can tell the owner has put so much thought into the food, atmosphere, and overall experience. I also can't wait to come back and try more of the regular menu, especially because they offer gluten-free options throughout the menu, which is amazing! Such a great experience from beginning to end. Best place ever! read more

The Ale House staff provided an exceptional level of service to our family and friends throughout our entire three-day event celebration. From the planning process to the long days and late nights, everyone consistently went above and beyond--with smiles on their faces--to ensure that every meal, drink, and special moment was perfect. The owner, manager, chefs, bartenders, and waitstaff offered wonderful ideas and options, handled our large group seamlessly, and truly captured the vision for our weekend. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made our event weekend so special and memorable. We can't wait to work with you all again in the future! Additional review from a non-yelp user: 1. While visiting family from out of town, this is a MUST SPOT that I enjoy. I have experienced multiple dinners with the chef providing excellent options, cooked to perfection. Lunch and breakfast are also amazing. Very spacious, very friendly, a family friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit. L. Speck 2. I am not in the habit of writing reviews however during a recent event held at the Boston Ale House, I walked away completely impressed. The entire experience was extremely pleasant. From the spaciousness of the restaurant and bar, the polite and professional staff, excellent appetizers and main dishes perfectly prepared (chef prepared amazing steak) made for an excellent experience for family and out of town friends. This location was so friendly, relaxed, clean, that we decided to go back again. Delicious lunch and again for breakfast. A GO TO SPOT, for locals or any out of town guests. Thank you. We will return when in the area. I highly recommend it. E.L.B. read more

Mondays = $5 Smashburgers. They have 4-5 different burgers and I planned on trying them all. I came here for the 5th Monday and ordered a double cheeseburger for the 3rd time ever. Burger comes out. One slice of cheese, one patty. I told the bartender I received the wrong order and she informed me that it's correct. I told her I asked for a double cheese burger which she acknowledged and she told me she questioned the cook who told her that if I had ever received 2 patties before, it was a mistake. I don't see ANYWHERE on the menu saying that double cheeseburgers are excluded and at the very least this should've been relayed to me before handing me my food. Whatever. I go to eat the burger and it's pink in the middle. I've never been asked how I want my burgers cooked and it's always been well done. Rare in the middle. Nope. I don't do ground beef anything less than well done unless I cook it myself. If the food is done right, the food is great here and there's a good selection of beers for a decent price. That's the only reason this got 2 stars instead of 1. I'm not sure what was up with today, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm not sure who needs to be retrained, but major improvements are needed after today's unfortunate situation. Communication is key. Y'all really fumbled the bag at multiple points in this operations. Edit: I forgot my card and when I came back, the cook (I think) started calling me an asshole and a prick because I left my above critique as a note on the receipt. Any place that allows such unprofessional workers shouldn't exist. I won't be back here. read more

Boston Ale House - "DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER" - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This actually happened. Me: Walks into Boston Ale house that is mostly empty. Me: Asks hostess "Hello, do you do takeout here, or do I order at the bar or something?" Hostess: "You have to call on the phone to do that". Me: Walks out Bruuhhhh I'm anti-social, but not anti-social enough to call a restaurant from the restaurant on my telephone. God this would be such a cool SNL skit, an actual funny one. read more

Not sure what happened here but this place has terrible food now. My group of friends will typically eat anything. Not picky at all. I was surprised when everyone agreed to send back the awful Buffalo chicken dip. Just tasted off. We ordered nachos which also seemed like they were a SYSCO special. Nothing fresh and made in house. Every component felt like it was shipped in and mostly loaded with salt and preservatives. My double cheeseburger was... not fresh beef. Maybe frozen patties. The fries look fresh cut in photos from years ago on yelp but now they're bright yellow frozen style ones. No one liked their meals. I suspect this place decided to cut its food costs and switched to all generic products that come frozen. We decided to pull this place from our sports bar rotation. Hope it improves. read more

My sister got married here and honestly, I'm still thinking about how well this venue pulled it off. 250 people and it never once felt cramped. Whoever designed the layout knew exactly what they were doing. There was room to dance, room to actually talk to people at your table and it all just flowed. Food was a real highlight too, not the usual forgettable wedding buffet. And the staff was attentive all night but never in your way, which is harder to pull off than people realize. If you're planning a big event and want a venue that can actually handle the scale without losing the personal feel, this is it. Couldn't have asked for a better spot for my sister's wedding day. 5 star all the way! read more

Every time I visit the Ale House I am greeted with friendly smiles from the staff. The Ale House is more than just a local pub; it's beautiful decor and comfortable seating invites you to stay a while. The food is always outstanding whether you're grabbing dinner or having brunch. I can't say enough about this place - I live in California and I make it a point to visit the Boston Ale House every trip to Boston! A must-go with friends! read more

It's described as an up scale sport bar, which I don't quite understand. I'd say it's probably just a way to increase prices on food. The food was OK overall. It satisfied the itch. We started off with the pretzel, which was obviously not anything homemade or special. Probably came in a big box of frozen pretzels and they just threw it in a microwave to warm it up. The rest of the food was pretty good. The wings, burger and beer were all good. The best part was the unexpected live band. We didn't realize they'd have live music, but it was a treat. read more

A great place for dinner and drinks. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant had great vibes to catch up with friends. They had an ample amount of seating.

Food amazing for an ale house. Saw a review on WICKED BITES and hubby wished for beef wellington so off down rt128. Puff pastry surrounded short rib & veg. Served over mashed potatoes with the best gravy ever. 5* Wife ordered tortellini bologenes thinking eat half, leftovers for lunch nextday...she finished it! Short rib meat, I see a theme here. Cocktails: maple bourbon with amazing lux cherry. Dessert: sticking to another theme, cherry draped cheesecake. Ambiance: outdoor patio with firepit. Too cold but be back in springtime. Bar so, TVs on every surface. MUSIC 80-90s appropriate since clientele seems to subscribe to AARP...so we finally fit in! SERVICE: NICEST server in Boston. Guess she was raised in Midwest, lol. Parking was our concern but, lot on corner. Signage 2 hour limit, no paid kiosk sooooo?? Loved the exterior wall mural. NAVY medal of honor, old MBTA trolley, etc. THANKS. We had 3:30p reservation and all menu items available. FYI. Most folks there for Monday smash burgers special. Clean restrooms. Definitely upscale from my memories from 1980s at Northeastern univ. read more

Take a look at their "Health Score" from September 10th and previous dates. Do you see ALL OF THOSE VIOLATIONS??? Those were all related to rodents. Ask me how I know. Oh, because I was THERE, and I SAW an actual mouse there in March, and the Manager, Quinn P. DID NOT CARE. They have had continued to fail health inspections ever since, as you can plainly see. At least they were finally forced to close their doors for a day, and, oh, I DON'T KNOW...maybe...EXTERMINATE PROPERLY? I had an extensive review up about it, including Quinn and his completely nonchalant response, along with several follow up reviews as I saw the continued health inspection failures. Feel free to take a look at what the violations were FOR, below, lucky for you, it's all public record! So it's my pleasure to share with you! https://www.cityofboston.gov/isd/health/mfc/History.aspx?args=IjYxoXMODXM= Check out all the inspections done before 8/8, they are ALL REGARDING RODENTS. Apparently they appear to have FINALLY bothered to clean up the issue, but not until SEVEN MONTHS of pressure and inspections from the Health Inspectors. Maybe we should think about going back? Maybe. read more

We met our daughter and her friend that works in the area here for lunch. The place us set up nice, every modern and clean. The staff was very welcoming and we were taken care of quickly. The server made suggestions and answered our questions about the menu. The ticket times were really good and the food was delicious. The fried pickles were as good as Kyle said they were. The portion sizes were good and we plan to come here again to try some of the other menu offerings. read more

I already gave Boston Ale House a five star review nine months ago, but my boyfriend and I had such a wonderful experience here last night that I am compelled to give them another five star review if Yelp will allow that. This sports bar has a laid back, yet upscale vibe with TVs scattered around so you can watch the game(s) while enjoying your meal. Our waitress, Madison provided exceptional service. She patiently answered our questions about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS!!! We both ordered the steak tips with mashed potatoes, asparagus and onion strings which I highly recommend. The steak tips were cooked to perfection. Even though we both ordered ours well done, they were still moist and tender. The mashed potatoes were creamy with just the right amount of salt. We also got a side dish of the Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Shallots and Bacon which was cooked in a mouthwatering delicious sauce. I've never had such amazing Brussel sprouts anywhere else. We will definitely be coming back here more often and plan to make Boston Ale House part of our regular restaurant rotation. Thank you for making our Saturday evening so pleasant! read more

I just purchased a take out order for $104. we order 1 bones in chicKen, 2 vegetable stir fry, 1 order of potato skins and 1 order of fish and chips. The chicken was warm not freshly cooked and the chicken skin is so hard to chew (old chicKen). The potato skins were lukewarm and either over cooked or cooked frozen. The potato flesh is brown. The vegetable stir fry came with chicken that had the burnt strips on them, so those were frozen and dry. i tried to eat them but choked. I tried calling back several times but voicemail came on. Very frustrating and disappointing. Usually the food is good. I enjoyed other dishes before. Tonight was not a good night for them! Not going back! read more

A nice pub. It seems a bit more upscale than your typical Boston brew pub. We arrived around 2pm for a late lunch. We were four with a one year old. Service was prompt and friendly. The place was about 30% full and the bar was quite busy as there were soccer matches on. We got a couple of fancy cocktails and two beers. For food I got the fish & chips. It was haddock and nice and crispy just the way I like it. The fries were also perfect crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We also got the tuna poke bowl and a couple of burgers. Everyone enjoyed their food. The food was remarkably good. We would return when in town. Mark & Nancy. read more

once again the Alehouse has ripped me off, overcharging for a beer. I ordered the 13 ounce Widowmaker, $9 on the menu. I was charged for a 16 ounce beer. I measured the contents of the glass and while $3 isn't a big deal, it's still stealing from the consumer and puts one in an uncomfortable situation. Do I complain? Stiff the waitress? The beer was absolutely not 16 ounces and if BAH is doing this all day long it means they are making an extra $3 profit by overcharging. If you go there, watch for this. Not the first time but def, the last. I'm done with BAH. read more

My neighbors and I enjoy coming to this place a lot. The pizza here is really good and they got a good selection of beers and cocktails on their menu. The staff are always sweet. I mainly see the place as a sports bar but I definitely want to try their brunch and dinner menus. It seems like the place can hold a large group and they have patio seating as well. Also they have trivia every Wednesday at 7:30pm. read more

They can't really mess up beer! I had a pizza sponge. I thought maybe I'd had Covid and lost my sense of taste. It's because the pizza has no taste. Just a sponge with cheese and sauce. Sit on the side away from the "entertainment", unless someone screaming into a microphone is your thing. Always crowded which proves West Roxbury desperate for a better option! West on Centre is better, Corib is great if you want to eat grandparent style food. Copious amounts of bad food. Taste doesn't matter as long as there is tons of it on the plate! read more

This place is a big, fun tavern with classic American/bar food. The staff is attentive and provide good service. I love coming here when I want to grab a bite and watch a sports game on one of their many big screens. The bar is usually full of people there for the same reason I just described. This place is big enough to sit away from the bar if you want a more intimate experience with a group of people or just one other person. I believe they also have trivia nights and for those nights, I recommend making a reservation. read more

I would give it a 10 if that was possible. I went in with my wife after a couple of hard days of work. I 2 appetizers and 2 main courses? After 45 minutes, the bartender, who was very nice. By the way, and who we tip, it tells us nothing had been done yet accept what was properly by then. A very cold stir fry . I the 2 appetizers had not been prepared. Nothing happened yet it was a total waste after the manager came out. Who I was not impressed with and apologized? He pointed out that he needed to talk to his staff. The restaurant was empty 45 to 50 minutes. And we could not get served, I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Went here with high hopes and it ended up being TERRIBLE! Thought I was gonna get a good bite to eat with my buddy Gavin Burke, and it turns out the food was mediocre at best. Saw multiple waiters serving drinks to what was clearly underage kids. One of them was serving our table as well and he was obnoxious. Don't go here unless you want to reconsider your life decisions.

This is not your typical review. Last night, my wife and I met my cousins for dinner. We were greeted by a wonderful waitress who was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable with the menu. She guided us into our meal decisions and set us up with excellent drinks and then everything went sideways. One of the people in our party suddenly and unexpectedly appeared to spontaneously lose consciousness. It was immediately apparent that we needed emergency medical attention. The management and servers could not have been more supportive, more compassionate and more professional. As the EMT's were taking my cousin, I sought out the waitress to settle the bill and move on to this unexpected change of venue. She told me that, not only had the manager comped our drinks, they offered to pack our food (which was only starting to arrive when the medical emergency began) into to go containers and not charge us anything for the meal. The waitress then asked for my cousin's name so that she could include her in her prayers that evening. The Boston Ale House is a class establishment. read more

I moved here a few months ago, and to be honest I have only enjoyed their Monday night five dollar burger nights. That being said the burgers were fantastic, the service amazing and the atmosphere well it's a sports bar and yet it was well lit, clean, comfy and friendly. On mondays, you can order a burger of choice from their menu for five dollars and a salad for two. Both of which are phenomenal and large, I have seen many families come early in the evening as well as large groups of friends and couples. It is just a great place to come and get a wonderful meal, especially Monday. I am assuming that the rest of the food is excellent as well. Oh wait, we did order poutine last time we went. It was the best ever! Try it! read more

This place is quite disappointing. I gave it a 2nd chance after a bad experience the first time. I went with my Family on Fathers Day . There were 6 of us in our party. The wait to order food was ridiculous and I have to point out that this Father's Day 2025 was a very quiet day at the restaurant. We waited about 20 minutes for someone to come to our table. We ordered then and we waited at least 40 minutes for some of our food. 3 people were served and the other 3 had to wait another 20 minutes. We did not get to eat together and my daughter ordered a Burger done medium well. It came out raw . The Boston Ale House is a very attractive place and one would think that they are an upscale restaurant. Not even close. I will not go back and I would never recommend the place to anyone. read more

We've been here twice since it opened recently, and both times for drinks and apps; and then dinner to go. Cocktails are good; and the beer and wine are reasonably priced. The Parmesan Herb fries came out remarkably fast, and we were impressed to find them hot, crisp, and well seasoned (rosemary is a nice touch). The Whipped Feta is also a delicious starter. First time in I ordered a "Wicked Roni" pizza to go; second time in I ordered the Honey Old Bay boneless wings to go. Both orders were really good - no complaints. Glad to have this new addition to the neighborhood! read more

I came early to beat the lunch rush, and I was rewarded with perfect service and food! The highlights were the crispiest fish & chips ever, a very flavorful steak tip and mashed potato dish, and a pesto risotto. Warning: the level of butter used in these dishes was EXTREME. The mashed potatoes that came with the steak tips were delicious. And by "delicious", I mean, artery-clogging, pools of butter dripping off the potatoes onto the plate. It was great. Steak tips were also very good. They were moist, tender, and aggressively seasoned with rosemary. read more

Molly was the bartender tonight and she saw my friends real ID and refused to serve him. She was on this fabled and fake high ground in which she believed that every ID she saw she could tell was fake or real. My friend turned 21 and came here to have a good time and take his business to Boston ale house, but the bartender Molly had other ideas. She called herself the bar manager and said that her rule was the end all be all and refused anyone who had a vertical ID because she claimed it was fake. This service is wrong and deceitful and if I were to give advice to anyone on yelp, I would say do not come to Boston alehouse to get alcoholic drinks. read more

First off let me say the food is great we've been here several times. The service has never been great. I placed an order on Grubhub tonight and the order came incorrect. I called to see if there was anything that could be done to fix it and the person who answered the phone said no he could only offer an apology. I asked if I could speak to a manager and he tried to get me off the phone by saying there's nothing they could do and to leave my number. I said that I would stay on the phone and wait because the last time I called when the order was wrong no one got back to me. He told me he was going to put the phone down and try to find the manager to talk to me. I waited 13 minutes for someone to pick up the phone and say hello then hang up. The person who said hello genuinely sounded like he was concerned so I'm not sure if the first person cut the phone call short by shutting off the phone or what. So I called back 3 more times to get through. The first guy who answered, answered again and told me I didn't say hello when his manager picked up? Which I did! Then said 'sorry there's nothing we can do I can just tell the manager. Bye. ' Then hung up on me! It's unfortunate the food is good but I will not be getting food from here again. I hope management sees this and addresses whoever was answering the phone tonight. read more

Boston Ale House - Steak {real} Mashed potatoes Asparagus - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The look is an upscale local bar with warm/modern feel. The drinks were good and both drink and food menu had good variety of options. Strawberry Fields cocktail was delicious. I got the steak tips entree medium well and it was cooked excellent although the steak lacked flavor. They needed a better marinade to kick it up in flavor. Salt and pepper seasoning just wasn't going to do it. The asparagus was cooked fine it had good crisp. The mash potato's meh.... i wish they had a loaded mash potato option. My date had the rigatoni bolognese I felt it didn't have enough meat but the pasta was definitely hands made and cut and the flavors were good. My friend liked it a lot. By the way the burgers must be the way to go because a lot of people ordered those and there Smash burger was sold out! It had enough tv's to catch your fav sport. The service was great. read more
