Saint John Ale House

Blue Blazer at the St John Alehouse

The Saint John Ale House is known locally for its wide variety of tapped beers, regional Canadian cuisine, and as Eastern Canada’s premier cocktail destination.

Their cocktail list changes seasonally and always incorporates a healthy mix of both classic and contemporary cocktails using house-made ingredients.

For example, behind the bar are 15 different types of bitters (5 house made), and they create their own liqueurs and syrups, many from How to Mix Drinks; A Bon Vivant’s Companion by Jerry Thomas.

They use only fresh-squeezed juices in our cocktails, having done away with all post-mix products, ensuring a high standard for freshness and quality. Additionally they offer an exciting selection of world-class spirits and our first-rate selection of rums will rival some of the best lists in the country.

The St John Alehouse is centrally located with harbor views and in summer has al-fresco dining available with free live entertainment everyday of the week. They are internally connected to 2 major hotels and the famous Saint John City Market, the heartbeat of the city and source of many of their epicurian cocktail ingredients. The front entrance is connected to a city wide boardwalk, waiting upon your arrival with warm smiles and cold liquid remedies.  Definitely worth checking out the next time you’re on the east coast!
