What a rock star! The place has a very good vibe to it. They play awesome music but not so loud that you have to shout to be heard. The drinks are very reasonably priced. I came back the following day prior to dinner and found the service to be very good and consistent. Wednesday was their local pool tournament and you could tell all the locals really enjoy this place as well. Sarah did an amazing job covering down on a very crowded bar!

Ridgecrest is blessed to have Ale's Seafood: seafood done right! No fishy smell here because the…read moreseafood is top quality and cooked perfectly. If you avoid fried food you need to know that Ale's hand breads their Seafood. This means you can order yours GRILLED! My favorites are grilled catfish and scallops with lemon pepper. Their coleslaw is delicious so I get double and skip the fries. We frequently go to the Central Coast and even there Ale's Seafood in Ridgecrest is often better! The decor is super fun and reggae music is a beach lover's choice. The servers are great here, so friendly and careful to get it your way. Ridgecrest, treat yourself more often at Ale's Crab House and your body will thank you!

We ate here and at Ale's steakhouse across town and they are very similar to me in terms of value,…read morethough they do differ. First, the good. It's nice that there is a restaurant in town with fresh fish. Our server was awesome. We were going to a tiki themed place (which you should 100% try to find if you are in town) afterwards and the server shared some cool info about it when we mentioned it. I ordered fish and chips, against my better judgement, and it was just OK. I'm a fan of beer batter that builds up more than a thin crust on the fish, and this wasn't that. On top of that, the cod was a little over cooked (a bit of a theme for the other Ale's as well). That said, the flavor profile was good and their tartar sauce was on point. I had the option for seasoned fries or steak fries and opted for the steak fries to save some sodium intake. I'd probably shorten my life slightly and get the seasoned fries next time. My wife had a salad that was very similar to the other Ale's -- lots of iceberg lettuce and overcooked chicken. We also had the clam chowder, which had a good consistency but was just a touch fishy. I still enjoyed it, though. They have a pretty good selection of beer and other drinks, as well. The decor is informal and overall I liked the place. Between the two Ale's I'd probably give a slight nod to the original, but they are very similar restaurants other than the focus on seafood here.

I was here this weekend with my boyfriend, brother in law and his wife and everything was okay 'til the girls there got drunk and started a fight. Everyone knows everyone there so no matter what, it's all of them against you. We tried defending ourselves and at the end of the day, we were the ones that got in trouble because they all ganged up on us. Keep in mind, we're not even from Ridgecrest. We had just gotten there THAT night from San Diego and wanted to chill for a bit. The DJ was awesome. Great music, very cool guy. Besides that, horrible experience. So much sloppiness and very, very intoxicated people. Hogged up the pool tables. Bartenders were rude. Wouldn't recommend. Only gave one star because I had to or else I wouldn't even put any stars.

This is quite literally the only local place that sells properly humidified cigars. They have a reasonable selection of infused and traditional cigar face brands to choose from. Additionally, as an added bonus, they even offer their own line of house cigars sourced from Nicaragua to choose from without any of the brand markups. The interior is small but clean and nicely decorated with leather and wood accents. The real sell of this place is the ambiance - a nice, comfortable, relaxing place to enjoy a cigar while chatting with other cigar smokers or watching a movie/game. There's a a pleasant timeless feeling inside. I live in an apartment so finding a spot to leisurely smoke that isn't going to violate my lease or my neighbors comfort is nothing to balk at. Lastly, this is a place for all cigar smokers, new and old. With amiable and highly knowledgeable certified tobacconists on hand, recommendations and suggestions for your first or next smoke are readily available. You do not require a membership to come in and enjoy a smoke but there are incentives to do so. I will definitely be returning to this sanctuary.
