About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
The Saint John Ale House offers progressive pub food in a casual, relaxed dining room, in our pub and on our waterfront patio during the summer. We take pride in knowing where our food comes from and use locally grown and seasonal produce, meats and fish from New Brunswick farmers in many of our menu items and daily specials.



We offer the largest selection of beer in Saint John, including several local craft beers such as Moosehead Cask Ale made exclusively for the SJAH. We have an extensive wine list and also serve creative cocktails hand-made by our mixologist.



Join us for a few drinks in the pub, or dine in our restaurant. If you're interested in an all around fun night out in Saint John - we look forward to hosting you!

    Food was great service was awesome. I would recommend a bit larger menu. Found it a little pricey, especially the steakvandppetizers.

    As always we had a good time at the Ale house for supper. We dine here quite regularly and never have a issue. My only complaint was the lighting it seems as though they put new lighting in and it was very dark. Other than that everything was great!

    We always eat at the Ale house when we visit Saint John. I think you could look at the pricing of the menu as it seems to getting high.

    We were disappointed there were not lobster rolls on the menus the day we arrived. In hindsight perhaps we could have requested ahead. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    In from Montreal for business. Our team started off at the bar having some of the great local brews. We moved to a table for dinner and the guys behind the bar actually served us as well. It was a great night and hope to be back soon
