Every time we've eaten at the Ale House, it's been a good experience. There's a fantastic beer selection, the bar food is good, and the female bartender is warm and attentive. The last time we went, however, was on the afternoon of the Belmont, obviously a major NYC sporting event. Upwards of 20 people in the bar area were sticking around to watch that race alone, but the manager refused to turn on sound in the main dining/bar area. I suppose she's going for some kind of Jazz Age atmosphere in there, but to ignore the vocal request of the majority of your patrons is rude and unwelcoming!
Pros: Beer selection, Bartender, Bar food
