The Ale House - Pubs Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Food good. Nice atmosphere. Sports bar, watch games and hang with friends. My fave are the grilled zingers.

The Ale House is a great place. It has a friendly neighborhood vibe. The girls behind bar are super cool and quick with the drinks and the owner is really nice dude. read more

If you're in Hoboken, Ale house is the place to go. It's conveniently located but parking can be an issue. It's a typical bar but they have great deals. They have TV's at the bar so you can watch the games. They don't have a large selection of beers but still have decent options. The wells drinks are not bad either. If you're looking for cocktails this might not be the place. This would be a good place to go to catch the game and have some beers or a simple drink. At the end of the bar they also offer free popcorn for patrons. In the back they have a shuffle board and pool table. Was there on a Saturday night so it was slightly crowded. This is a dog friendly place so you're welcome to bring your furry friend as a guest. If you're in the area definitely check this place out if you're in the mood for some beers and want reasonable prices. read more

You have to love a bar where you can sip a Guinness and chill with your dog! This dog friendly bar is amazing! Even hosting a monthly Yappy Hour on the first Friday of the month with Doggie Road Trippin' from Instagram and Groomington Eats a doggie Treat Truck! The bar is open and dog friendly daily! Definitely recommend stopping in for a cold one! read more

Love this place. I don't usually haunt Hoboken but this place is a must go if you're in the neighborhood. Cool vibe, shuffleboard, pool table and good drinks. read more

Free pool. Great beer specials. Friendly staff. Dogs everywhere. What's not to love? Unless you're a person allergic to dogs, then this isn't for you. Kim C below unfortunately feels otherwise. I tried to make her understand it's HER responsibility to do her research on bars before going there. Unfortunately some people are truly nonsensical. Here's a snapshot of the conversation. read more

The Ale House - Pubs Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

This is a great local, dog-friendly, people-friendly spot for some good beer, darts, and hanging out. The staff is laid back and friendly. The great part is hanging and having dinner (delivered via Grubhub from any restaurant in town lol) while drinking your favorite beer. You'll see a mix of folks including familiar faces from other restaurants kicking back after a long day. The best part though is the great music they play....oh wait maybe it's the dogs...hmmm fluffy puppies and good music...tough call!!!! read more

I saw cockroaches in this place and the bartender is completely rude! They were argumentative and the owner is clueless to his rude staff!

I love this place because it's so friendly. Welcomes humans and dogs. My dog hates other dogs or I'd bring him... but really it's the perfect vibe bar and their social media is also funny, so points for that. I like to go while it's still light out and bring a book. I Hope to make their trivia night someday. read more

The Ale House simply rocks. The drinks were great and reasonably priced PLUS it's dog friendly, daily! What could be better than that? We luckily went on a night that was a charity event for the Liberty Humane Society (Yappy Hour), and we actually ended up winning the raffle for a Tito's Vodka dog house for my little Pickles. Needless to say, we had a great time, and we will be back! read more

This place is a gem in Hoboken the bar tender Vinnie is a great guy. Would def go back !

HOBOKEN: the last stop on our visit to Hoboken was to The Ale House for their Yappy Hour event! The Ale House is always dog friendly inside, but every month they host yappy hour to raise money for the Liberty Humane Society! It's a $5 donation to enter and 100% of the proceeds benefit LHS!! So cool! We walked inside and it was a parade of happy doggies! Beverages only, but you can bring in your own food! Check their schedule for other events including trivia, happy hour, and other specials! read more

Worst experience ever. Rude bartender who yelled at our group. We tried to speak to the owner and he was absolutely rude as well with no accountability. read more

Had one of my fav golden ale here, Big Wave, not too hoppy. It happened to be their cocktail week recently, i tried Ale House Mule, not bad. They have different specials/ events on different days. I have to say this is one of the most "try to do marketing" bar i've been. They allow puppies. I guess that's why they have many returning customers. Played Dart and Shuffle w my bf here. Wish they had live music. Kinda boring at the end. read more

Free pool. Dog friendly. Great service. Good drinks. Bartenders are always friendly. People are friendly who are there.

We came all the way from NY to celebrate our friend's birthday last night. It was the most disgusting experience we have ever experienced! We were minding our business playing by the pool and the bartender "screamed at us saying if you don't know how to play don't play at all" is this how you treat your customers? We payed for our drinks and was playing. He didn't need to be rude and screaming at us. When I approached to ask for his name, he refused to give it to me and I also asked for a manager. He claimed he's the manager for the bar and yet he couldn't give us his name! One other guy that was by the bar came into my face and started screaming as well. At the end we got kicked out. I'm from NY and been to so many bars and this is one of the worst bars ever! You need to train your bartenders how to be professional! Never again we will be stepping our foot in this disgusting place! Please avoid going to this bar at any cost! read more

Love that this place is dog friendly and the staff is super friendly too! Good vibes here

The Ale House is dog friendly - how can it get better? Well, if you're into karaoke (let me tell you, not a lot of places in Hoboken offer karaoke nights) then this is the spot for you! I usually come for karaoke nights because my friend and I have been wanting to go to a place nearby that doesn't require us to cross the river because it's just not worth the car rides there and back just to sing and drink - let's be real. We love the karaoke host as he sings and engages with everyone that participates and though the bartenders are probably not pleased with our performances (LOOL), they are all incredibly kind. We especially love the security person that checks ID's. The staff are all very chill and just want you to have a good safe time. Thursday nights are half price drinks for women so it's nice to have that, but they also have tons of activities that go on during the week. I've seen geek night, trivia night, etc. They definitely are a very inclusive space and truly want you to have a good time. They have a pool table in the back and I've seen tons of people order food and eat it there! Love this bar read more

Bartender was quick to take our order. It was strong that was great. A big group of guys walked in and she decided to pull her hood off and I'm thinking lord girl not the yoga gear. I hope they tipped her big for effort. I guess if you're a huge dog lover it's great you can bring your dog. I love dogs but I don't appreciate sitting next to one at the bar. There should be at least a rule they stay on the floor. Unless of course you will like to get sued by a patron who has been bit by someone's dog at the bar. If you're looking just to get a drink and shoot the breeze it's an okay place. If you're looking for great music this is not your place. Last but not least security were super friendly. Not scary but those are big guys so I wouldn't mess around in there. read more

Tough to beat the Ale House for happy hour. A good variety of beers on tap, shuffleboard, pool table and dart board. I've been told they have a pretty good league going for all three. Oh and a juke box. Huge plus. read more

The Ale House - Don't mind if I do. - Pubs Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

A classic neighborhood bar -- reminds me of the bars back home in Wisconsin. No frills. An adequate selection of major brands and craftier beers. Darts, pool and shuffleboard are available for your enjoyment. If I lived in the neighborhood I'd probably be a regular. read more

Good divey spot for grabbing a few drinks or a casual night out. They have dart boards, shuffleboard, and a pool table. They also have trivia on Wednesdays (not sure if this is just a summer thing or year-round). The trivia did get super packed and there was not anywhere to sit at the bar, so I would recommend going early if you are going for that. This is a dog-friendly spot and it seemed like tons of people did have their dogs with them. They don't serve food but I believe you can order delivery from the pizza place on the corner. The only issue we've come across is that they only had one bartender on trivia night which made it difficult to get a drink due to the only bartender running around like crazy. read more

I really want to love this place. Between the good beer selection, free popcorn, pool, shuffleboard and cute dogs (you can bring your dog) this place would have a lot to offer... If only the d-bags would get the hell out. Unfortunately I cannot get past the horrible crowd that frequents the Alehouse to harass women and start fights with their boyfriends. Yes, you read that right. This has happened AT LEAST 3 times that I've been here. And the trend seems to be that those d-bags are ALWAYS friends of the bartenders. One night in particular I was there with my boyfriend and a bunch of our friends and there were two drunk assholes who tried to start fights with every single guy in my group as well as many other guys that were just hanging at the bar trying to have a good time. When the guys would ignore the asshole trying to start the fight, he would then move on to saying really inappropriate shit about that guy's girlfriend. He would then antagonize everyone by saying "What are you gonna do? I'm friends with the bartender." This went on for at least an hour until finally someone in my group said something to the bartender (the guy's friend). The bartender didn't do anything so then someone else told security. Security told us if we didn't like how he was acting then we should leave. So we did just that and I don't really plan on coming back. read more

I guess I should write a review here. I've been here a number of times. Short and sweet review: The bar has a great staff, reasonably priced beverages, and free pool, darts, shuffleboard, and popcorn. I've never had an issue. Also, it's one of the few places to have karaoke in town (even if it's only once a month :P) If you want quieter, come during the week. You want a busy night, come during the weekend. For a bar off the main drag in Hoboken, you can't get much better than this. read more

Cannot understand the authenticity of the reviews, have been going in since the remodeling and it is always so sterile, and as for talk of service being great I'm afraid that's tosh. Not once has a barman/lady ever actually done anything aside from serve drinks eventually then slinked away. Look at how empty this place is all the time! I wish them well and it is my closest but have tried to get a drink there 2x in the past 2 weeks, first time doors locked 20 mins after opening time, last night walked in to an empty bar, i.e. No patrons and no staff! Waited at the bar for 2 minutes nothing, unless it was DIY night, that's bizarre! Good luck! read more

Had a great time here. Large space, high ceilings, good lighting. Pool & shuffleboard tables in the back. Jukebox. Friendly vibe. Would definitely return. read more

Great people, beers, and pup friendly. We LOVE this place.

Stumbled upon this joint on a Friday night. They have a pool table and shuffleboard. Awesome bartender, Brian, told us about $4 mystery beer night where he reaches into the cooler and pulls out a surprise beer. Who can resist!? Got a Stella, Modelo, and a Peruvian beer. Love this place. Will be coming back. Also they have $5 half pitchers of bud or coors light. read more

Ehhh okay local bar. Went on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded just a few people playing pool. The drinks are pretty good, prices are reasonable, but the bartender here gave my friend and I horrible service! First of all, she made us pay for our drinks up front while everyone else was able to keep open tabs. Also, there's a jukebox in the bar and other customers were playing rock songs which were fine with the staff. My friend and I decided to use the jukebox and we chose to play some mainstream Hip Hop songs and as soon as it even played the female bartender skipped the song!!! She apologized and returned our dollar but this is completely unacceptable!! We finished our drinks and left. On our way out she chased us asking us to pay our bill when we paid each drink up front and our last drinks were actually served by the male bartender. Terrible service! read more

Cool spot to hang out on a weekend. We came here in a lazy Sunday afternoon before visiting the newly opened Trader Joe's close by. Very attentive and generous bartender esp. Brian (with eyeglasses) who served us and kept the conversation going on currently what's happening in Hoboken. read more

This has to be my favorite bar in town. Between the free darts, pool, and shuffleboard there's always something to do. A chill bar during the week with a great beer and scotch selection, it's always a good place to go early in the evening to relax; and then when it gets later and more crowded, you can just enjoy the vibe of the crowd and play games. Definitely recommend it! read more

formerly McMahon's, the new ownership cleaned it up a bit, and I dig it. have been here a few times and it's a good hangout spot if you just want a low-key night. it's still awfully narrow and with a bit of an odd layout that seems to create a bottleneck in trying to go between the front and the back, but I guess they can't tear down the wall like both Pink Floyd or Ronald Reagan demanded. leads to it getting a bit packed in the bar area some nights, but that's the nature of the beast and I can't really fault them for it - though perhaps adding a bartender on busy nights would lessen the queue time. good bartenders and a solid lineup of beers and whiskey. karaoke once a month, and a solid jukebox that I like to spam with rock and metal. there's pool and shuffleboard tables (which both seem to be maintained well enough) as well as dartboards. more importantly, the games are free - despite the fact that crooked politicians who misfile their emails and lie to the public are allowed to get away with "pay for play" schemes, I really don't think it's justifiable when a bar that isn't a pool hall wants me to cough up extra money to use a pool table. not so at the Ale House. oh yeah, free popcorn, it's dog-friendly (if that floats your boat), and you can have food delivered there. read more

Fun little spot. Beer selections were okay, not a whole lot of choices but the options here were good enough. They have a dart board and pool table as well. This place likely doesnt get the same traffic that Washington or anywhere else near the PATH does, which probably makes it more likable if you don't want to fight a crowd to have a drink. They have a popcorn machine, which is a cute additive. If they had little side dishes to munch on that would seal the deal. read more

Whether your stoppin in for a bu lay / Jaimo / or quick dart game, this place is great to catch a quick one. Also the awkward middle aged DJ sometimes present on the weekends will get you Jerry'd! #raiseheavies read more

This is hands down my favorite bar in Hoboken. It has a great neighborhood feel, tons of beer on tap and bottle (I'm attempting to try them all), free pool, darts, and shuffleboard, and a killer jukebox. The staff is totally awesome (except for the muscle head bar back, he's just ok), amazing management, and just a great atmosphere to be in. Will definitely come back a few times! read more

The Ale House is great if you're looking for a chill place to just get a few beers and play some games. There's shuffle board, darts and pool - all of which are free! They used to have great specials but on a recent Saturday trip the bartender thought i was crazy when I asked for a $2 can of PBR - they also used to have a surprise special (the bartender would blindly reach into the cooler and no matter what they pulled out it was $3) - both are no longer there. The bartender also didn't like the music we were playing even though we were the only ones in there so he shut off the touchtunes after we had loaded it up with money to turn on his own death metal music. read more
