Average

by charlie tuna at Citysearch

This place is just average nothing special , food and drink are par and staff is lazy . The location and lack of other venues in Santa Rosa keep it full of people . I pass on this place .

• Pros: they make ale
• Cons: lazy wait staff

Good stuff

Nate is the best bartender anyone could ask for. Aleworks has awesome beers and pretty good food. Just ask for your fries to be extra chrispy, otherwise they're really soft. Always cool people there. Wednesday is Deaf Night, and clam night (when weather permits) so it's generally crowded then. Tuesday is cheap beer night. I think the only night I've been when it isn't busy is Monday.

• Pros: Nice bartenders, good beers.
• Cons: Hostesses can be rude.

Great Beer, Nice Patio!

Loved the beer! We always stop in here on weekends. It is the perfect place to go for food and drinks after the movies (which is right next door) The service is always good and friendly. You can't go wrong!

I go there because it's there

The food has been consistently mediocre for 12+ years but at least it's consistent and the place is centrally located and open late. I've given up on the BBQ oysters just a huge disgusting mass of grey guck with underseasoned pesto or canned BBQ sauce. Garlic fries why do I eat fries with a bunch of raw mashed garlic? The beers are consistently uninteresting with the exception of the alt bier which is never available. Two points for being open late.

awful

by kmcalef at Citysearch

Went there with a party of 4. was told the wait would be 30 minutes. after 45 we were "next on the list" after 60, we were still "next on the list" though 5 other parties of 4 had been seated and there were many names crossed off on the list below ours. the place is huge, so it was even more frustrating that they kept seating parties and not us though we were there first. the hostesses were very rude. the stout beer was good, the wheat beer was average. i will never go there again.

• Pros: stout beer
• Cons: rude hostesses
