American Ale - Santa Barbara - Photo album

Great location, great ambience, and great bartenders here. I can honestly say that their arugula chicken burger ($9) is my most favorite burger ever. And the whiskey options (they have Templeton Rye!) and cocktails are fabulous. But the price hurts my soul so I don't frequent nearly as much as I us

The burgers here are amazing. My personal favorite is the Make'n Bacon Burger, but honestly, you won't be disappointed with any of them. If you consider yourself a beer lover, you must make a stop here. I don't think any other place in SB has quite the unique selection of beers. They also have ver

Cool atmosphere. Service is terrible. It took us 30 minutes of waiting at a half empty bar just to put in our order.

We were blown away by this restaurant. The staff are AMAZING, the food was beyond excellent and the beers delicious. This is a MUST when in Santa Barbara.

Great burgers, beer and service. What more could you ask for? Paul is a great bartender and cool dude to chat with. Yelp classifies this place as having a "hipster" ambiance which can be a good or a bad thing depending on who you are, but don't let that put you off. It's just a laid back spot.

The Tennessee Sweat Tea and Firehouse burger are my favorite! I've never had a bad drink or food, it's always been on point. The PB&J burger is quite unique, and quite delicious, worth trying!

Really good beer bar. Whenever I've been in, they always have something unique and a lot of other worthwhile things on tap. Service is very good, and while I haven't had the food it looks great. The only thing I don't like is the decor which is kind of depressing. Also the lack of TVs is a minus

Loved the atmosphere, beer, and cocktail menu. But I ordered a caprese burger for ten dollars that came pretty dry with only a slice of tomato and mozzarella. I say come for the drinks but be weary of the food.
