Ale Tales Taproom and Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
Great place to just chill and try new beers. They have a constantly rotating draft list to keep things fresh. The bartender is super helpful. Good prices, with an amazing to go selection. Also theres a fancy grilled cheese place kitchen for the hungry people.
May and June gloom. The time of onshore flow. If you live in the 92102 area code. And its the gloomy late spring early summer ...
This is a cool bar in east village if youre looking for a beer and pub food. You will not be coming here expecting to find the best burger or wings in town but instead a solid bar with good vibes, good staff, and surpringly some real good fries.
Youre buggin if you love craft beer and craft eats and wont come here.. like its unreal. Some beers run a pretty penny but its beyond worth it. Staff makes you feel at home, kitchen is always running and have never had a bad experience ...
So only had chips and salsa so cant comment on the food. The beersciders and service is amazing. The owner is so sweet and informed! I love it and the artwork in the bathroom is worth it alone. Plus dog friendly and they have a photo ...
Amazing experience every time I come in! The taproom is great with amazing beer selection and cans to go! Service is amazing they treat me like family!
Lots of great beer options. Food was phenomenal and plentiful. All day Monday happy hour! A little on the expensive side for short pours.
Great tap list. Solid bottle shop. Very tasty Italian beef sandwich. Excellent hostowner. Its definitely worth stopping by if youre in the area!
