Audubon Ale House

i have been here several times and it has been good in the past. We went on Sunday and had to sit in the bar the tables were bar tables and the service was so bad that we left as soon as our food got there is was warm almost cold. they did not ask what kind of BBQ sauce (spicy or mild). i would not recommend going here on Sundays for diner. Service was very poor.

We’ve been here several times because the food and drink selection is excellent. What makes this place one star is the service. Each time we’ve been here, bartender ignores patrons, so she can talk to her friends and family who come in. At one point, we sat there for 20 minutes waiting for a new drink. When you do ask for something, she is extremely rude and rolls her eyes. There are better places elsewhere. Don’t waste your time here.

This seemed like a local hangout. It’s a small dining room with a pool table. On the right is a beer takeout store. The bar is in the very back and it was crowded. There were a few TVs. They offered a large variety of ales. We tried the Shock Top pretzel and it really tasted like pretzel. We wanted to order food from the happy hour menu but had just missed it by 20 minutes. We ended up trying the Ale House Sampler which had four wings, four onion wings, two chicken tenders, two jalapeño cheese poppers and two mozzarella sticks $ 10.50. The wings and the chicken tenders were good. The sauce for the wings had quite a kick. The mozzarella sticks were quite dry. The onion rings and the poppers batter were too heavy. Next time we’ll get wings only. The burger and the fries were quite good. Waitress was friendly. Will go back and try happy hour.

Mediocre food and extremely poor service. Very disappointing

I have been going to the ale house with a friend once a week for more than five years. The atmosphere is very friendly and the staff are very attentive to your needs. The bar area is staffed by three women who are great — Amber and the rest are sweethearts. Food is above average and the beer is always cold. Patrons can be gruff until you get to know them, however I love the place. Once you are accepted, you are part of the family.

Lunch is above average bar food so if you are looking for local eats you won’t be disappointed. Nothing blew me away but the food was prepared well and tasted good.
Good amount of taps for a bar this size and they did a great job on the rotation. Troegs IPA as well as a Pumpkin beer were in the cards for this review. Served in a fresh cold pint glass each time which is important for me.
Bathrooms are a disaster. Prepare yourself before you go in.
They have a take out section with a good amount of craft brews including a Wegmans version of put your own 6 pack together. Not a big fan on how they have what beers are eligible to be in a 6 pack are set up. Pricing could get tricky when adding higher priced beers to the craft pack. I’d go to using a marker on the bottle cap like Wegmans does. The sticker deal is kinda crazy. You’ll see what I mean when you get there. This is not Capones level selection but very solid.
Solid happy hour crowd. Older and blue collar but an active spot.

Racist. Twice that I attended very well dressed, the waitress refused to serve me drinks and threatened to kick me out when I asked why. Served my white friends.

The food is good but the people are better, Eric is a damn fine bartender and his girl is awesome also. This is more of a hang then great food but the wings are pretty good. The burgers are the play here, plus the beer selection is always nice.
Check it out.

Very friendly staff. The food here is awesome. You have to try the Grilled Reuben made with fresh cooked corned beef not deli! and the French Onion soup is delicious. The best I’ve ever had.

I’ve read the reviews and have lived near this place since 2000 so we went in last night to finally try it out. Is this a locals place? Of course it is. Is it full of repeat customers? Of course it is. The place is laid back and easy going where everyone just blends in. If you looking for pampered service with expertly timed service or believe you need to be hovered over by the staff… you will not be and I would recommend you go elsewhere because thats not the vibe. Plan on going in to just hang out, be chill and enjoy the place where you can just have a couple of drinks and some great burgers.
Rachel was our server who directed us the burgers and highlighted the top items on the menu. She was friendly with a level of honesty and good sense of humor. She was one busy girl hustling from room to room and across the bar. This is hard work and she kept us taken care of. Job well done Rachel and we appreciated it. We’ll be back for sure.

Audubon ale house is the perfect place for delicious reasonably priced food and drinks. It’s never too loud and they have a pool table which is a plus!

i’ve been here a few times and it was good but this is the first and last time I will see this face. For me to give this bartender Nicole one star is a lot. In fact the one star goes to the establishment and as for Nicole… zero! I am a bartender and server myself and this is by far one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in the food industry. Negligence at its finest… How she has a job is mind-​boggling. I would not recommend coming in here if she’s working. The food was good though… so I’ll give it to the chef but as for the bartender thumbs down!

You people are STRANGE. Walking into this bar is like walking into a horror movie version of Cheers. There is truly nothing worse than a clique of middle aged people who have nothing better to do than sit at a shitty bar all day and look down on every single person that walks in the door who isn’t a regular. Their to-​go beer is super overpriced as well.

Great place for a drink, nice friendly staff. Didn’t eat there though and would be hesitant to as it doesn’t look to be the cleanest place.

Good crowd. Interesting people. Great specials and great food. Smoking only allowed outside.

Here is where I have been buying my Dogfish Head 60-​minute IPA on and off for the last year and a half. Being that tomorrow is Mother’s day and dear old mum hasn’t had a Ruben sandwich for a long time. we went out on a limb and tried the grub here.
The Ale House has added more dining tables and booths, and service was acceptable. Food came within twenty minutes and it was good and hot.
For myself, I had fish and chips and it was more than I could eat. Mum ate the whole Ruben and said it was very good. Waitress came by to check how things were, brought extra napkins out.
Just a nice quick casual dinner in a tavern-​style setting. No complaints.

Warning: Audubon Ale House is for locals, only if you’re in the area!
Most of the reviews are fairly accurate. The Ale House is pretty much a dive, and seems to be 99% regular patrons. The bartenders know all of them, and spend 99% of their time conversing with them and not with you, the newbie. People will look you up and down upon arrival, maybe with a quick judgment, but won’t ever give you any trouble. The bar area isn’t huge, and there are also about half a dozen four top tables around the bar with a pool table in the back as well.
Personally, I’ve always found service to be just fine. Never had a problem waiting for a drink, or had unhelpful or snooty service, anything like that. Not super friendly, but what are ya gonna do.
Food is not great at all; my corned beef reuben was very dry and overly toasted, and the french fries came right out of the bag. And not the tasty bag. The wings weren’t bad though.

I live close by so I go there every so often. I’ve only eaten there once and had a burger. It was decent. The service is disappointing. Most of the time I go to the bar for my drinks and I don’t find the staff very friendly. If it wasn’t in a convenient location I would go back.

The ale house is exceptional at being «every mans» bar. No glitz. No glamour. But no seediness either. It’s what you want in a bar, you know, a real bars bar.
Reasonable good, moderately priced food, decent beer specials, pool tables, TVs everywhere, a megatouch, bartenders that are easy on the eyes… if you just want a place to grab a pint and shoot the breeze with a stranger, this is the place. Leave your pretense at home.

We were so excited to find this place after a long day at the Expo Center around the corner. Bar food, beer, dimly lit, sign us up. However, very similar to another review, the bartender/​waitress was less than remotely excited to see us. I believe we were actually an inconvenience to her (2 of us). I ordered chicken wings which come plain, mild, hot, or suicide, when I asked what happened to medium, I was informed that the hot was super hot and that I should just do that and not worry about medium. I did. They were saucy, but there wasn’t a flame to be found. Disapointed.
I would give it a try again, but would definitely skip the wings.
