| - First Impression: This is my local bar. I do not know how many times I have been here but I keep coming back. I must preface by saying that the only food I consume from here are the fries, I normally come strictly for the drinks. The location is weird, as many people have mentioned, and the parking is odd as it is around back, I could not find this place the first time I was invited to come here. A lot of wood in there, woodgrain everywhere. So many taps! There is almost always something different for me to try which I really enjoy.
Service: Good, normally... most of the time when I go in it is Lauren behind the bar, who is awesome. She is always cheerful, says hello and has a little chat when time permits. Other days that Lauren is not working are hit and miss. There was one time I came in here with a couple of cousins who are from the UK, there was an older gentleman behind the bar who I had never seen before. I stood for at least 5 minutes as he struggled to keep up with drink orders, I really felt bad for the guy. Another time my girlfriend and myself were not treated very well 10 minutes before close, told to "drink up" and it made us feel very uncomfortable, I believe this is the woman that is the manager, she might have been having a bad day and she apologized to us the next time we came in.
Atmosphere: Depending on the day, obviously, this place can be dead or bumping. Any game night this place is typically packed, they have plenty of screens so you cannot look away from the game, it's impossible. Other nights, like Sunday they are normally very quiet. Regardless of what it is like in here, typically you feel comfortable and it has a homely kind of vibe about it. Also, they have a patio which is really nice in the Summer months.
Food: As I stated before, I only eat the fries here which are perfectly fine. Nothing special, not the best fries, but they do the job to go with my drink. They are typically made quite quickly.
Drinks: Where do I begin? So many choices. I'm a beer guy, so that is normally what I stick to at this ALE HOUSE. There is such a large selection of beers on tap I just can't stay away. I like to try new things, and this place is the place to go for that. They have different deals for every day of the week, most of the time beer deals (which are listed on their website as well as the chalkboard inside). I normally look at the aforementioned deals or their "Draft of the Day", which is an ever changing craft beer, and at $3 it's normally my go to drink. They also have a "Mystery Beer" for $3, I really just don't even bother with that as I normally like to know what I am drinking beforehand.
Price: I normally hardly ever buy a full priced beer unless it is something special I have never had before. As I state previously, the happy hour/daily beer deals are the way to go. Craft beers are mostly over the $6 pricepoint. I'd say it's a little on the expensive side although you get a great selection to choose from. Still, those beers add up, so watch yourself!
Restrooms: They do the job. Sometimes the paper towels are out or they are just sitting on the sink rather than in the dispenser. Whatever. Not the best restrooms but I can't really complain considering there are drunk people more than likely peeing everywhere in there all the time.
Overall: If you're in the area, or you like your craft beers, it's worth a gander. They update their website quite regularly so it's nice to be able to see their selection or what deals they have for each day of the week. The bartenders here are cool, especially Lauren. This is the closest thing I think I will get to as to having a "local pub" in Wexford.
Tip: Check out the "Draft of the Day", "Mystery Beer", and different daily Happy Hour specials.
