246 Division St, Cobourg, ON K9A 3P8, Canada
Casual outpost serving pub grub staples, burgers & sides with beers, ales & cocktails.
Had the peppercorn burger and it was incredible. Big, home made, perfectly cooked burger. Delicious aioli, perfect deep fried pickle and onion rings. And fries were amazing. Phenomenal.
The owner was so kind and chatted with us for awhile when it wasn't busy during lunch time. The Mac and cheese with pulled pork was so good and a lot of food! The chicken burger was great too. Will definitely visit again.
Best fish n chips on this side of Canada! Folks next to us were raving about how good the burgers are too!! Awesome atmosphere, good price and good vibes!!
Good pub meal,reasonably priced. Located in the interesting, historical downtown. We enjoyed our visit.
Great food, and great friendly service. Missed coming here on our way through last year so made a special trip this year. Try the deep fried cheese curds. Only complaint is there weren't more!
Nice location. Lady who served the food was really friendly and nice. Ale hamburger is amazing. Price is reasonable.
Went here after the beach on Sunday at about 7:30pm. 4 adults and 5 children ranging from 4-10 years old. Shown in pictures: Personal Nachos (meh, portion very small, not awesome), Grilled Chicken Club (girls thought it was good), Ale House Burger (meat was nothing spectacular, and the bun was VERY BURNT), and Gooey Bacon Mac & Cheese (meh). I overheard a regular customer and our server making comments about our table when we first walked in (maybe they’re not used to children visits and she was not happy to serve us?) She turned out to be very nice and courteous, but conversations about other customers should be more discreet. I tipped her well regardless because her service was good. I would not recommend families to eat here.
Male server was friendly and helpful, female server ignored me before he came over. I tried the pork tacos which were delicious. I'll return when visiting Cobourg - the prices seem very reasonable too!
Amazing meal, apps and meal were all great!
Never answers the phone
Very nice bar. Very friendly
My favourite place to grab a pint.
Waitresses are a easy Layto takeout
Amazing food and service!
Great food and great experience. Little too much blue in there though and wish I had the heads up. #celticforever #hailhail
Ok
The food is amazing and the service is awesome. Vegetarian options: There is a very good selection of vegetarian options. Food : 5/5 |
Poutine and chicken wings, I think they are the worst I have ever tasted. For the atmosphere its okay, nothing more.
Food is amazing. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Worth every penny.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! We walked in, no greeting, we sat at the table for 5 mins and no one came over . The place wasn t even busy, but the waitress managed to tell others who entered after us that they were only open for drinks..well thanks for the washroom I guess. If I could leave negative stars, I would.
When we walked in we were the only people there overheard the workers at the bar saying that all their drinks except the ginger ale was expired after i already ordered a pepsi and drank it food was okay tasting the wings were super greasy and gave me food poisoning.
This is the place to come and relax! Tasty treats, picnic tables, and beers. Worth the visit!
We had the Ale house burgers . They were delicious and well done just the way we like them. We sat outside so not sure about the atmosphere. Best burger I have had in a very long time
Fantastic fish tacos!! Delicious flavor! Youve got a winner from the folks who stopped in from Connecticut:)
Nice chill spot, prices are good but food could use a bit more Seasoning
Good beer, food was tasty and nice patio....except for all the loud cars in Cobourg.
I ve been coming here for many years! A great place to enjoy great pub food and the best pricing then anywhere else compared. Wine and Beer menu is really good ( wine pricing is even better ). So many great dishes!
Best wings in cobourg hands down. Triple mix sauce is amazing (Cajun rub mixed with honey garlic and hot sauce)
Decent enough place. Usually pretty dead. Food is pretty good, but watch out for extra charges. Was charged $2 extra for hotsauce for my food, without being told I would be charged for it.
Food hit the spot. Service was nice, atmosphere was cozy & familiar
An easy going, comfortable pub. Youre not fighting loud music or dozens of TVs when chatting with your friends. Will definitely go again.
Ive had 3 different dishes and they were excellent each time. Highly recommend.
Ok
Enjoyed my portabello mushroom burger very much.
Always great food and great service
Real good food and beer and friendly service dont be turned off by the building renovation out front (scaffolding) it is definitely open was fun to see the local soccer fan club Cheer on the Rangers
Visited for the first time. Hit it just right as it was wing night. Excellent choice of sauces. Good service and reasonable prices.
Absolutely lovely, the host was friendly and the food was great, I will definitely return.
Great service and food ! And the beer was nice and cold !
We were greeted as soon as we walked in. A very homey feel, almost like the feeling of walking into Cheers! Will definitely return the next time we are out for a stroll in downtown Cobourg!#
Server was rude, understaffed, had no budlight, had no Mac n cheese (that s reason we went there) burger was burnt to a crisp and like a quarter of a burger.toooo top it off I believe it was the owner sitting at bar and over heard her say still haven t caught that mouse that was running around the kitchen last night disgusting.
Just stopped in for a drink on the street patio. Very nice and waitress was great. Next time have to try their food!
After going to the beach today we were looking for a place with a patio. We decided to try The Ale House. So glad we did. Rachel, our waitress, was friendly and helpful. The food was great and prices reasonable. We will definitely be going back.
For a place called the Ale house, I expected more than the standard 6 beers on top that any chain restaurant offers. Food was OK, they knowingly brought out an incorrect order and asked if we would accept it rather than correcting the mistake when it was noticed. Salad had way too much dressing.
Good old fashioned pub that was run by one guy and a Cook.
gr8 services, yummy food, dog friendly patio
Great atmosphere! Todds fantastic behind the bar.
Such a tasty food and kind servant
Was craving a burger and a beer on the patio and as 1st timer did not disappoint...Burger was delicious and my beer ice cold, totally recommend
Honestly this place had me dumbfounded. The server was so annoyed when we (group of 6) walked in at 4pm on a Saturday to a empty bar (2 what looked like reg. Sitting at the bar). The food was well priced and decent. Def a good budget option if you dont care about the serves attitude.
Went there last weekend, food was great. The owner was serving a small group of us, a very friendly guy would go back in a second!
Excellent staff, food, and atmosphere! Im always sure to stop through here when Im in town and I always leave feeling, full and happy!
Warm and friendly never even knew this plave existed. Parking: Located on a main street in the east dity districted so parking is a little annoyinf but allbelse was great Food : 3/5 |
Great service! Delicious food.
Best wings in Cobourg by far!
Best burger I ve had in years, I ll definitely be back!
Came here after a day of fishing, owner is a great gentleman; excellent food and a great stop before going home. Thanks again!
feel sick
The good and the bad....our server was friendly and fairly attentive. The burgers and fries were excellent! I ordered a long Island iced tea but couldnt taste any alcohol at all and I tend to like my drinks weak so I would have tasted it. Instead of having another drink, I just got a pop instead due to the weak pour. Dessert was tasty (deep fried Nanaimo bar), but any kind of plate presentation would have added to it. It just came naked on a plate. Prices are good here and the location/atmosphere was enjoyable as well. We would go back but just not order alcoholic beverages
My friend and I went here for lunch and honestly it was kind of gross. Portions were pretty small, but prices were decent. I think its a good place to go for drinks (and maybe dessert), but not food. Our server was really nice and friendly, which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2.
The staff and customers were very friendly and there are plenty of screens to watch sports. The poutine was good and the ckicken wings were ok but they were somewhat small and the quantity was not great for the price. Also, they charge extra for hot sauce. With most pubs, veges and dip and hot sauce is included. Not here, they are extra. On a positive note, the blue cheese dressing is homemade and the best I have ever had.
Todd and staff are doing an excellent job. This place has a modest priced menu with lots of variety. Small app choices for when you want a beer or two or a full meal if it fancy s you! Haha that rhymes! ;)
Great staff, amazing grilled cheese! Four stars for only having one local beer on tap.
Get the grilled cheese. Hands down the best Ive had in years
Amazing... cant say enough. Great food, great service
Great service.
Cold pint
Found this place by accident. Great selection of food at good prices. The entire meal was tasty. Will definitely be going back and would recommend this place to anyone in the area.
Everything was just ok...food was mediocre...seating is awkward...service was soso...its off the beaten path so easy to miss and there is only on street parking with meters.
Took our Dad there for his 94th. Things were great. Going back for wing night.
Super and friendly service at a nice homey pub. This pub has great food at reasonable prices (most meals are priced around $11-$12). Big Bobs fish and chips was very good. Fish was of good size and was served fresh and hot. The service was super friendly and very accommodating. They even opened up early so our minor hockey team could eat between games! A big thanks! Very close to the lake front. Would make a fantastic food establishment to visit after a walk in the summer.
Great place to grab some pub grub and a beer. Plus the server kept performing card tricks all night, he was quite good at it.
Pub food only right now . Thai chicken wings were excellent
The establishment isnt that big, but that makes it more cozy. Great atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally polite and informative, myself and my wife felt very taken care off. Cold beer and really great food.
Clean and organized establishment. Fairly priced food and drinks. Great service.
Great food, great value and a great atmosphere. The servers were excellent, you can tell when you go somewhere and it feels like they care about the quality they are producing. Dont miss this place!
Not bad, waiter dint pay much attention to us and the food was alright. I dont even remember the beer selection being good at all. Wouldnt recommend.
Great food, the pepercorn burger was amazing. Wings and curds very good and the bite size desert wow.
Excellent service and great food. Todd is terrific.
It really was a very wonderful first time experience. Staff was awesome, food was real good. They did practice safety for all patrons. Great job everyone and thank you
The Ale house is a great place for food and beverages. The Owner Todd is always around and all of the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. There is a great selection of beer and spirits. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and it a good place to spend an hour or two! Love the cheesy fries!
Nice spot. Very friendly staff and good pricing on draft beer
Excellent, friendly and attentive service. Many menu items stand out from typical pub fare and theres something for everyone, including vegetarian and vegan options. Best ambiance of any bar in Cobourg.
As a local, I love that this is an amazing locally owned bar and restaurant. The atmosphere is second to none and the food is even better. They have many options not found anywhere else, such as vegetarian and vegan options for burgers and wings. The fish tacos....wow. The staff is really great, attentive and always friendly. A great place to spend your evening.
Great food great drinks great service
Low key bar.
Service was good (Nicole). I had the Portobello mushroom burger which had a great taste. I couldve easily had two of them. The rest of my party had more traditional food and they had bigger portions.
Good food and great hockey
Nice hidden out of the way place
Best burger around .. not a Budweiser fan but its pretty good if its real cold . Owner is a really nice guy
The food is very good here
Great food, great experience!
Great service.....great wings, especially the 5 alarm (not for the faint of heart).
Great food. Fair prices. Staff was very pleasant and efficient. Worth a second visit.
Great draft variety. Great service. Great food. Great music.
Nice pub, good beer, and very good food.
A place where people ask your name and include you in a conversation. A very friendly atmosphere. Good food and great people
Pleasantly surprised by this diner/pub style restaurant. Went there after being turned away from 2 other restaurants who closed early on the holiday. Really friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and a very budget friendly menu that still boasts freshness and quality. Between the 5 of us we had a couple burgers, the club sandwich, and the hummus trio. All made fresh and homemade (seriously the burgers are great). We couldnt believe the prices, also very affordable bottles of wine. I really hope these guys stay in business because this gem is such a rare find. Will definitely go back the next time were in town, highly recommend, best food in Cobourg by far.
Cool little spot with a nice atmosphere, interesting wall dressings and a super friendly bar tender. A great place for a cold pint with friendly patrons.
Very friendly. Cozy. Great food.
Good cold beer and a friendly bartender. Cant ask for much more.
Food was good. Staff was friendly. A larger selection of beer would have been preferred but it is only a small pub so I understand the limitation.
Pleasant staff and friendly owner. The burger was delicious. I highly recommend it :)
Fun interesting place for browsing
Very small place.
Honestly one of the best burgers in a long time.
Great atmosphere, good food and they often have special events!!!
Good food ... great volume for conversation of background music.... friendly staff
Owner kept tips and decided not to pay me for last shift. Claimed I was training although I fully served tables from start to finish. It is now 5 days past our payday (which Ive received direct deposit before) and have not received paycheck or gratuities. No way to run a small business with a an employee of the industry for 23 years. No way to treat any staff member.
Great service and great food
nice little place to grab a bite, but a little pricey.
Great food and ambiance.. M
Owners are great. They offer lots of laughs. Food is great for a limited menu pub. You will find something you like. Our favorite small pub in Cobourg. Try the Deep Fried Pickles.
Devil in the blue dress wings! Try em.
Great atmosphere and wonderful wings.
Best wings around. Service is always quick and their beer selection takes the win too. I recommend the Mill St Stout and either the spicy ceaser or Omfg wings.
Good food and good service. A pleasant suprise!
Good food and drink at reasonable prices
My new favourite spot on town. Food and service were great! Looking forward to our next visit.
Friendly staff; good food
Good food and beer
Good service and some amazing food here. We got there on a quiet day and had the place to ourselves. Tried the ribs and chicken. Asked for the spicy versions and they were delicious.
Fair prices. Good and very fast service. Nice background music. Would go again.
Came in with my Dad and brother for the FIFA World Cup Final between Croatia and France. Awesome that the place opened early for game watchers. The service was friendly and quick from the moment we entered to the moment we left. Great relaxed atmosphere, cant comment on the food, as the kitchen was closed during the game, but will definitely be back to give it a try. Nice place and since it is so close to the beach, definitely worth a visit. Only thing I would recommend is a bigger sign outside, as I had a bit of trouble actually locating it while driving down the street. A hidden treasure, but worth the trip.
Strange place. Food wasn t good. Not recommending to visit.
What a treasure. Great owners and chicken wings just as good! I ll be back
It was very pleasant.
Great wings.
Charming neighbourhood pub!
Odd place, for locals in a touristy town. Dont expect too much and you will be fine.
Absolutely delicious food. Highly recommended the pulled pork, the grilled cheese, the Canadian burger. Comfort food at its best!
Service atmosphere and food where excellent.
Good food, good service, friendly environment.
