A work colleague recommended this And happy he did! Great food and great patio ! Wine selection is good and the oysters were great to start with. My server was great! She was on top of things even when it got busy.
Will come back when I visit penn state next.
The atmosphere is very relaxed, the staff is very polite upon your arrival. The food and drink are worth many return trips. Nicely done.

Wow. My boyfriend and I have dedicated Friday nights for date night and we ended up at the Ale House last Friday night (1/29/21). This was one of the best places we've been to in awhile. We had gone to the Ale House once before over a year ago, but this dinner was exceptional. We ordered the Sheep's Milk Ricotta as an appetizer.. and wow. I haven't had anything this good since I was in Germany! I ordered the New England Lobster Roll for my meal. It was served cold, and I think I would've liked it served warm. But I was also spoiled in Maine and do prefer mine warm (it was still delicious though!) I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes because they're my favorite. My boyfriend ordered the House Gumbo and hasn't stopped talking about it! His only complaint was, "I wish it was hotter." They asked him on a scale of 1-10 how hot would you like it, and he said 10. But he could eat straight hot peppers all day and not have a problem! I told him next time to ask for 20/10 on hotness. Definitely the perfect place for date night!
Absolutely amazing! I love this place! Great atmosphere, great food, great staff. I tried two different types of oysters here which I watched them shuck. So fresh and both tasted perfect! Best oysters I’ve ever had actually. The wagyu sliders were delicious.
I got the Colorado sandwich. It wasn’t anything special. Tasted exactly like the Colorado Rockie aus jus dip from Champs. So a little pricey on that guy, but still good none the less. The lobster roll is very buttery and tasty. Potato salad is house made. Very clean tasting.
Overall I loved my first experience and will be back very soon to try the rest of the menu!
The price for food is well worth their high prices. American Ale House has an atmosphere that is unlike any other place in Happy Valley. Overall the Ale House is five star worthy to some and 4, 3, 2, 1 worthy to culinary beach bums.
Bread is good. Steak is overcooked. I like the salad, and ricotta. There are more options at dinner time.
Definitely one of the best restaurants/bars in State College. The food is good. They have two menus and one of the menus is available at certain times.
The service is okay but it could be better.
They have a good flow of wines, so there is always a bottle opened recently.
Great evening out to celebrate a birthday. Always a great dinner spot in State College
