About The Ale House

The Ale House books Acoustic, Folk, Rock acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Taunton venue directory.
The Ale House is a pleasant locals' pub a short walk from Taunton railway station on Station Road, pouring 3–5 cask ales drawn from a 60-strong SIBA catalogue alongside food, real cider and a rear garden. Live music is a fixture of the week here, with local artists playing every weekend and a Sunday open-mic night — and the music is always free. It's a relaxed, dog-friendly grassroots room with a big screen for sport, a covered smoking area and a car park, opening late (to midnight most nights and 1am Fridays and Saturdays). A genuine community ale house that gives Taunton's emerging acoustic and band acts a regular stage.
