Cowes Ale House is the 2nd smallest pub on the Isle of Wight with it's sister Newport Ale House being the smallest ! We may be small but we are very friendly and serve real ales direct from the barrel. We also serve a wide range of other refreshments
Cowes Ale House is a traditional drinking establishment where people come and socialise. Opened in march 2013 and sister to the popular Newport Ale House, we serve up to five real ales direct from the barrel which are always changing as well as fine lagers, wines and spirits.
Traditional pub snacks such as locally sourced pork pies , cheese and meat platters, rolls and meat pies fill a gap if you are hungry as do our famous pork scratchings. If you yearn for the days before pubs became restaurants, no fruit machines or tvs and where the landlord and staff are pleased to see you, visit Cowes Ale House, you’ll be sure of a warm welcome.
Good to see you guys back open ❤️ Two brilliantly conditioned xmas ales on. Thanks to Dave. See you soon. K&Sx
Very lucky find. Made to feel very welcome on a cold day. Love the ale I chose. Everything spotless including the toilets. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks.
If you love real ale then this pub is for you. Ale is served straight from the cask, is well kept & and a good variation of ale types is rotated. Well worth a visit.
Slightly 'gay', (rainbow flags in evidence), but not in your face so don't be put off. Perfectly sound, traditional bar where you can enjoy a well looked after pint of proper ale from a variety of brewers served by knowledgeable staff. Friendly chat. Range of characters.
Friendly staff who knew her beer. Nice selection of ales. Will definitely return
