What People Are Saying About Hale's Ales Ltd

The Scene – Upon entering this handsomely sturdy facility, visitors immediately get a full view of the brewing works. The pub, meanwhile, sits sealed behind closed doors to the left. While the layout may suggest something about Hale's priorities, the pub is hardly an afterthought. Dimly lit with lots of dark wood accented by brass and porcelain fixtures, the main bar area invites lingering. A dining room and an outdoor deck are somewhat less stately, but open to guests under 21. – – The Draw – Open since 1983, Hale's knows its business well; the Pale Ale and Moss Bay…

Don't bother....
by juliq
We made a reservation for 13 people after my son's graduation, for someplace that we thought would be good yet casual. We had read the "Entrees and Sandwiches" menu on line, which turned out to be only available at dinner. Service was the worst I've ever had, with no silverware or napkins on the table until we asked for them -- after our food arrived. My husband's salad came out of the kitchen wrong, and finally after 15 minutes of waiting for a replacement, I went and complained to the manager. He got it 7 minutes after that, as all of the rest of us were done eating. The manager ended up giving us $20 in gift certs (the bill was over $200) but those will go unused as none of us desired a second trip back. As I said, don't bother!
- Pros: None that we found!

Clears turned away!

They won't even let you in if you have on bike or soccer cleats because they value their hardwood floors more than your business!

terrible management, lousy customer service
by sueinseattle
We hosted a private party at Hale's and it was a nightmare arranging it. They gave us the wrong menu the first time, changed who we had to work with mid-stream, gave us incorrect quotes, had inflexible policies, then the night of the event had the nerve to tell us and our guests who arrived there before us that we had never confirmed the event. I had to pull up my email to prove to them that I had confirmed it, so they reluctantly accommodated us. You should take your business to a place that treats you better than a pest
- Pros: cool venue
- Cons: they treat you like a pest
