Ale Mary's Beer Hall

Barry is the man!!! Dynamite chicken sliders, killer beer choices, top notch vibe. Great lunch spot for a busy Saturday! totally will be coming back

Ale marys has tons of great vegan options. The vegan chicken hani is amazing. We also enjoyed the trash can nachos (not vegan) that was on special. We started with that and probably didn't need to get anything else. Amazing award-winning burger and great beer selection. This place is definitely a bit pricier but the food makes it worth it. Our server was very sweet and made tons of great suggestions. The restaurant is well lit featuring high tops and bar area. I love the penny wall that you see when you walk in.

I don't know if it was because of the holiday season demand of this place, but they bumped up the prices on the menu so much it's not an affordable little tavern/pub anymore. The pricing you see for drinks and meals here is what you would see at a nice restaurant in downtown Detroit. Not certain of the price increase is to cover staff wages and tipping not expected, but genuinely shocked.My nachos (listed as an appetizer) placed on a small plate were $18.Still a nice place but a burger and a small plate of nachos should not come out to over $40, especially at a place like this....

I recently tried the beer cheese burger, which has some serious hype--it was voted one of the top 25 burgers in America by Men's Journal. I'll admit, it was a great burger. I even loved the aioli sauce. The beer cheese was rich and flavorful, the patty was juicy, and it definitely hit the spot. But... top 25? I don't know. To be fair, I haven't tried the official "top 25 burgers" to compare, but I've had a few that I think could give it a run for its money. My friend tried the macaroni burger, which looked absolutely indulgent--like something you order when you're ready to embrace a full-on food coma. Picture this: a burger patty sandwiched between two fried mac and cheese buns. It was basically a heart attack waiting to happen, but you've got to respect the creativity. We went during Christmas time, and the decorations were lovely--cozy, festive vibes all around. It made the meal feel a little extra special.

Open late in Royal Oak, and with the space fully decked out for the Christmas season, we swung by at 9pm on a Wednesday evening and it was poppin. While the menu on their website needs updating (they don't have shrimp tacos or chicken tacos any longer, but have added many other fun options), overall the food was decent and tasty. We got the Buffalo Cauliflower- solid, delicious, and a good portion size - to start. For our meals, we got the impossible burger, the vegan Korean style "beef" burger, and the impossible chorizo nachos. All were good, but nothing really stood out to us by any means. My partner got a beer, which he really enjoyed. They have an extensive beer menu and among them, a selection of Christmas brews. I got the margarita with cranberry puree on the cocktail menu, which wasn't too sweet yet boozy and balanced. I definitely recommend the buffalo cauliflower... However, the service left a lot to be desired. Our server was consistently away for periods of time , usually wrapping silverware in the back. When I asked for the paper towels to be refilled in the men's restroom, multiple times to different staff, they were never refilled through the entirety of our visit of over an hour and a half. While we were able to get seated quickly upon arriving, I hear rumors of long wait times at other points in the week, so be ready to be patient. That said, it's still a good spot for a late evening meal in Royal Oak, so I'd definitely go back for another visit.

Went to Ale Mary's as one of the few places in the Detroit metro area to provide vegan options. Had to work pretty hard not to get sat on the window seal when it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside... After that was settled, ordered the vegan chili cheese fries but didn't like them and returned them for regular fries instead - those were fine. I ordered the Korean BBQ chicken, the sauce was pretty heavy but it was cool too. Ordered the vegan oreo shake without the cookie room, really good! ... ordered the vegan hot honey chicken sandwich to go. Get home, they decided to give me real chicken soooo, that sucks to say the least.

Always so excited to go to Ale Marys, at the start with all the flashy lights and interesting sounding menu, BUT. I don't know I just leave feeling the food wasn't that good and the experience didn't live up to the hype. Then you get the bill and you're definitely like meee I think we'll give this one a hard pass next time. All the lights and the Christmas theme are fun, but get past the glits and the glamor and Ale Marys it's just another overpriced Royal oak money grab. Yelp wanted a review today it's only two stars for me. Either the food needs to get better or the prices need to come down a little bit. Think my dinner for two was over 90 bucks.

Christmas pop up each year is fun and festive. Some special menu items and cocktails. Very busy. It is best to have a reservation at this time of year. Igloos to rent outside. Christmas cocktails range around $17 . Very good service and people obviously having a good time.

James was fantastic! Great service and super friendly! He was helpful with picking out beers, too!

James was great, very friendly. food was great - yay, vegan options! Nice not to be judged for getting coffee at the bar.
