The Ale House Columbia

Order the Thai chili shrimp appetizer . Way better than Bonefish’s bang bang shrimp . Also, front bar crowded with football fans? Head to what they call the Island Bar in the back. TVs & seats abound.

Love this place, the parking sucks but it wont kill you to walk an extra minute or 2 to get to the front door. The food is awesome, had many plates now and before, not once had an issue. Great staff !

Happy Hour : Monday - Friday, from 3:30–7 pm, $4 select Oliver Ales, $5 house wines and premium rail liquors , and $6 select appetizers . http://www.thealehousecolumbia.com/happy-hour/

Pro tip: if you’re watching a Sunday or Monday night football game, consider leaving before the final quarter. They will 100% shut the TVs off at 11 p.m. regardless of time left or patrons at the bar .

Food and drinks are great! Good atmosphere and a fantastic weekend brunch . Love this place!!! Oh and make a reservation , use open table.

Great beer , good vibes, surprisingly good food. The mac and cheese was delicious, and I enjoyed their "vegetarian Banh mi "

Last Friday i checked out this bar , had a brownie dessert and watched some live music . The two men played very well .

Great selection of craft draft beer , blueberry pear hard cider is great! Everything ordered was delicious and the service was on point.

Try the poblano Mac and cheese , or the fish tacos , or the French onion soup , or...you're gonna need to make multiple trips.

In our review: This sports bar sets itself apart with more than 50 beers , most of them craft, and plenty of TVs . Read more: http://bsun.md/13nASGB

Great beers and great food. Always busy so you are best to book on Open Table.

Can't go wrong with the fish and chips ...nice fish size and well seasoned.

Beer selection is great for pairing. It is also a must go when they do sample cider .

The best meal I've had while in MD. Extensive beer list , the place was packed. I'd do it again...

Fish sandwiches , marconi and cheese , beer selection , salads , brunch , small plates

Make reservations or expect to wait over an hour. Parking is a nightmare so come early because you have to stalk someone leaving to get a spot. Otherwise, good beers and food.

The dreaming tree crush - best red wine around!!!!! And it's by Dave Matthews with the lyrics on the cork.. Priceless

Great beer selection . Pumped to see Boulevard Beer on tap in MD. John Daly is a great drink for the non beer folks.

Crab cake sliders and spring salad are awesome. Calorie wise, there is less guilt if you order both and share :)

BBQ ribs were so fall off the bone delicious! Good selection of beer as well !

Keep an eye on your check at Happy Hour - 3x in a row didn't get discounted beers without asking for check to be adjusted - that is petty bullshit if they are training the bartenders to do that

Sid is best bartender . Knows his stuff about beer . The bacon cheeseburger with fried egg is awesome.

All of the food is good with a little spice. Not a hot spicy , but there is flavor!

Steak and crab Benedicts were disappointing, don't reco. It just looked...sad. nice sports bar tho.

I love their flatbreads . Great beer selection .

Blackberry pear cider is my new favorite drink! Siracha wings were delicious.

Love the customer service and the Ale Burger !

They have crazy wait times. Go on their website and make reservations . Always times available. Very strange

Spinach artichoke dips is actually pretty tasty so are the herb baked pretzels

Three bars , three dining areas and local brews

Sean is a great bartender ! Had us cracking up and great drink recommendations.

The Al Pastor tacos are amazing!

Make a reservation on the weekends. We didn't know they took reservations , and we waited... For. Ev. Er.

Friday night at 615 is a mad house. Make a reservation !

The house mojito is unreasonably delicious. Get one.

They have brunch on Saturday and Sunday!

Went here for lunch and it was fabulous!

Great food and awesome service.

Great place! You can reserve the back patio/bar.

Food, beer and great bartenders !

Be sure to enjoy a locally brewed Oliver Ale draft .

Solid food options, and the service is much improved since opening weekend.

Kobe sliders during happy hour are a tasty deal!

Not sure which ale or cider to try? Order a 5oz taster !

Not the best Mai Tai but if u like spicy , the sarachi wings are awesome

The service was good, the food was not so good = the ingredients on the Cuban sandwich ingredients tasted old - the wooded tables felt sticky and the floor needed vacuuming

Everything we ordered was really good.

Parking is horrible, Food was really good. Had the Tuna steak & Buffalo shrimp .

Prices seem a bit expensive , even by Columbia standards. Great selection of beers though.
