Reviews
Brunch at Cask & Ale continues to be one of our favorite traditions as regulars — and today was another reminder of why. We came in for brunch, enjoyed amazing food, sipped on perfectly balanced mimosas, and were treated to live jazz music that elevated the entire experience. The music created such a smooth, upbeat vibe — relaxed but vibrant — exactly what a great brunch should feel like.
Everything was on point, from the energy in the room to the consistency of the food and drinks. It’s always welcoming, always polished, and always a great atmosphere.
We especially want to recognize Ethan, their bar back, who was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, constantly moving, and seamlessly supporting the bar team. You could see him anticipating needs, keeping everything flowing, and making sure the experience stayed top-tier. That kind of behind-the-scenes excellence makes a real difference, and it did not go unnoticed.
Great brunch, flowing mimosas, live jazz, and outstanding service — we’ll absolutely be back (again and again).
While I was in the unisex bathroom after waiting in line with my friend, a male security guard began violently pounding on the door, shaking the handle and pulling on the door as if trying to open it!(my friend witnessed this from the hallway).. When I came out, the security guy was aggressive & tried to force me through a back alley door. I had no idea why he was so angry or why he was trying to isolate me into an alley. I refused and told him I was NOT going out the back door to an alley!! I walked toward the front and him and another security followed me, said I had to leave, which of course I would, I don’t know why I was being asked to leave, but this was scary and I just wanted to get out safely. Another security guy was pushing me from behind as I was walking until I started recording him, then he hid his face.. I tried to report what happened to the front doorman, but he refused to hear anything.
This behavior was threatening and completely inappropriate. I hope there is video footage in the bar for management to review.
I had been enjoying an evening with friends and it quickly escalated to an unsafe situation because of the “security” and for what reason!?
As a healthcare professional, I am very aware of safety concerns, and this crossed a serious line! This is not acceptable behavior from security, and it raises serious concerns about how women are treated here.I am deeply disturbed by my experience at Cask & Ale. This was my second visit, and what happened was scary enough that I almost called 911 from the bathroom.

A huge part of what makes this place stand out is the leadership. Bar Manager Sid is truly one of the most talented managers I’ve ever encountered ….attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly the reason everything runs so smoothly. You can feel the standard the moment you walk in, and it shows in every detail. Absolute must-visit.
While all of the bartenders here are sensational and consistently make the best drinks on Main Street, on this visit Jacob really stood out. He served up some of the finest tequila cocktails I’ve had in a long time, and the service was prompt, attentive, and effortless.
Great food, great drinks, and the kind of hospitality that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend for brunch.
Fernando took care of my drinks and let me tell you, Great bartender! He mixes the best drinks and is always so happy.
The atmosphere is so nice. So welcoming. One of the best bars ive been too.
Ps – Fernando was fantastic
