Graham Coombs left this review about The Ale House
I wasn't expecting much from this pub in a back alley with the outside looking more like a war zone. but was pleasantly surprised to find a little drinkers' pub, well-populated and with a couple of decent ales at silly (in a good way) prices. The decor doesn't add much, looking like amateur DIY, but there are some nice beer-related photos round the walls and a little drinking yard out the back. The locals looked a bit grumpy but the barman was friendly enough. The cask ales were from Yorkshire Heart and in good nick.

A small locals local. L-shaped inside and friendly enough. As noted its a fairly basic place but isn't the worst you're going to get in Wakefield. 3 handpulls with John Smiths Cask and Old Mill on.

Bland, basic, ignorant barmaid, what else has this place got going for it? Cheap Johns and that is about it. There are better pubs nearby all in the same price range and cheaper.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ale House
Somewhat hidden away in a back lane, this is a compact two-room affair with a basic look as befits its name (although the decor is lighter than expected). Quite busy on a Saturday afternoon, but a mixed clientele and a good-natured atmosphere. Two older groups were playing lively games of dominoes, several screens were showing (silent) sport and some background music could just about be heard. Three handpumps on the brick-built counter, offering John Smith's Cask, Stancil No. 7 (remarkably priced at just £2.00) and Old Rosie cider.
