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!

    This was our first time at the Ale House and we can’t wait to go back now. Absolutely the best fries in town, great beer selection and a perfect burger.

    It was really good. The bacon wrapped scallops were amazing!! The chicken wings & pickled carrots were delicious too. The music was really good, but way to loud. We could not hear our waiter or each other. Other than the really loud music it was excellent :)

    We always make a reservation at the Ale house when we are going out with large groups (6+). They are fantastic at accommodating us, getting all our food and drinks out hot and fresh together in a timely fashion. The service is always stellar.
