The Ale House is an independent micro-pub in Market Place, right in the centre of Clitheroe and close to the bus and rail interchange. It opened in 2015 and pours five changing cask beers alongside bottles and cans from UK and overseas breweries. It has a rustic single-room feel and puts on regular gigs, occasional comedy and an open mic, and is part of the circuit for the town's annual music festival.
