    Ale House GJ

    Colorado has always been on the frontier of homegrown, homemade and handcrafted. At the Ale House, it’s in everything we do, from making our food to choosing our beer to mixing our cocktails, sourcing locally whenever we can.

    We have a history with great beer. Grand Junction is home to Breckenridge Brewery’s original Ale House, a place of unparalleled hospitality on Colorado’s western slope. So it's no wonder we proudly feature over 35 rotating craft beer taps! Our restaurant is big enough to handle large parties, yet intimate and inviting in every aspect of the space. The massive patio relaxes and enlivens the senses with outdoor eating, drinking and entertainment.

    Comfort, fun, and hospitality are the foundation of everything we do at the Ale House. So, if you’re into that sort of thing, you’ve come to the right place to join an amazing team.
