Adams Ale House Sprints Out of the Gates
Talk about coming out of the gate full steam ahead.
Since the Adams Ale House opened its doors in June, to say that it’s been going well would be a major understatement. Racking up accolades, priceless word-of-mouth and a reputation for customer service and responsiveness, owner Nate Girard exudes the energy of a spot that delivers on the buzz.
“I think people were surprised by the quality of food,” said Girard. “It totally changed the persona of the building and we’ve created an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.”
Indeed, the Ale House’s location was the longtime spot for Saint’s Hall. Changing the perception of what the space has become, however, didn’t take too long. While the “Ale House” name suggests a wide range of brews, which the restaurant does offer, the eatery has made its mark by what Girard calls “inventiveness” on the menu. In fact, one of their most popular items is a “build-your-own” sandwich or pizza. In this vein, Girard said “we’ve been hitting homeruns.”
And, why not? When you give the customers exactly what they want, they’re bound to return again and again.
“We have one customer who orders a burger with a fried egg, avocado and bacon,” said Girard. In fact, that beauty may make it on the menu soon.
The ten big-screen televisions also don’t hurt the atmosphere in Adams, where people love their sports.
And, of course, being called an ale house means that they have plenty of beer – including many local brews – on tap. There are 22 in all. Most popular right now, says Girard, is the Jacko Traveler Shandy – a pumpkin ale made in Burlington, Vermont.
Adding to the buzz is the Adams Ale House excellent social media presence that keeps the conversation going after you’ve settled your bill. With more than 2,100 followers and constant posting of specials and meal photos, Girard and the team are taking advantage of all the tools to deliver the message. Smart people.
