Ale House Brewery

My husband and I are in town for an Anniversary getaway and decided to try Ale House. We thought the food was wonderful. It was hot and came out very quickly. Our server John was fantastic. Some of the best service we have had in a long time. My husband had an Avalanche beer that was good but our server brought us an Agave Wheat to sample that we loved and had to go purchase more to take back to our hotel after dinner. We will come back when we return to Grand Junction and hopefully the same server will be here.

Bad service. Was in town for a bachlorette weekend and we went here for dinner. First, the food took a long time to come out, then when it did come out it was cold/luke warm. Two of the six orders were messed up and the waitress blamed it on us! Then it took another 10-15 minutes to get the correct order out and the waitress blamed it on the cooks. She never apologized and didn't take anything off our bill. She was rude and slammed our drinks on the table never saying a word to us. She, actually none of the staff, said congrats to the bride and the bride was clearly wearing a sash indicating it was her bachlorette. It was only a group of 6 women, how hard is it to be polite? Needless to say, I would not go back.

Additionally, they do have a big draft beer selection. I got the 471 IPA and was not impressed. For a higher quality beer I expected it to taste like a quality beer. I've had better and cheaper IPAs.

I've avoided this place on all our drives through Grand Junction, mostly because it's "just another Breckenridge Brewery spot"... and well, quite honestly, I find the others all fairly mediocre. Finally decided to give it a shot, and was pretty pleased. I was torn between 3 and 4 starts, the beautiful day and the awesome patio pushed it to the 4.

Beer: the usual suspects at Breckenridge Brewery, plus a few others on draft, lots of bottles. Tried a seasonal Breck brew this time (a Belgian Ale), and it was actually quite delicious. Better than their usuals...

Food: actually better than both the location in Breck and the one downtown. Nothing super special, but solid and fairly reasonably priced.

Service: surprisingly good. Young servers, but super friendly and helpful.

Atmosphere: I'd argue the best of the three locations I've visited. Patio is spacious and super nice.

In conclusion - definitely a decent option if you're in GJ looking for some brews and patio time... !
