Straight To Ale - Huntsville

Fabulous microbrewery. Great burgers. Love the MonkeyNaut IPA.

This is a great, unpretentious, microbrewery. Good mix of beers but also good craft cocktails and an incredibly unique whiskey flight. Good snack food and sandwiches all at a reasonable price.

The beers are good and really good. The food is excellent (The Smokehouse, pictured), the fries are old school, cut here and well done. The combination makes a 5 star experience.

Had the bar b q smokestack two weeks ago and it was great except for one strip of overcooked bacon. Today, one server was trying to wait on 11 at the bar plus 4 tables. Two groups left from the tables before being served. Maybe it was shift time? My sandwich today had half the pork as the one last time, a piece of burned bacon and a big pile of fun yums or onion flavored fried dough on top. The fries were mostly little gibbles. A pint of beer is double the cost of their canned at the grocery store. My $21 (before tip) beer and bar b q was just not worth the time or money it cost me today. It makes me hesitant to go back.

4 in our group. We went to sit at a long high top table to play tabletop games while we sat and ate, and the server asked us to relocate even though there was absolutely no demand for tables (see picture). Shortly after a party of two took the table.Then they were out of pretzels. As a previous restaurant manager that ordered product, it’s not that hard to order an appropriate amount to not run out of food but also not run food costs up.Lastly, one of our party members ordered the Inventory IPA and it was awful.We smartly ordered nothing else and got out of there. Very disappointed in our experience.
