The Olde Alehouse, where glasses are raised,
plates are full, and music fills the air
Right on Los Osos Road, with
plenty of parking, The Olde
Alehouse is where community,
comfort, and craft come together.
This family-owned pub welcomes
locals and visitors alike with 20
rotating taps featuring everything
from eclectic craft beers and ciders
to kombuchas and a drink menu
including local wines and non-alco-
holic options. The kitchen’s delivery
of elevated pub classics, like their
renowned smashburger and Chef
John’s daily smoked meat specials,
keeps regulars coming back for
more. Whether you’re relaxing on
the patio by a fire pit with live mu-
sic or cozying up inside with a vinyl
spinning, The Olde Alehouse offers
a fun, laid-back atmosphere where
everyone feels like a regular and
every visit is a celebration of great
food, drink, and friendship.
Although they are best known
for their famous smashburger,
classic pub items, including chicken
wings, potato skins, and steak frites,
are offered along with a selection
of salads, sandwiches, and tacos.
When you visit, be sure to leave
room for dessert. Be prepared
to have a difficult time choosing
between the churro fries and the
brown butter cake!
The family opened the Olde
Alehouse in 2020, intending to
bottles of wine are offered at a 50%
discount, and on Thursdays, happy
hour deals are offered all day long.
The family recently reached a
five-year milestone and is delighted
that the community has helped
make The Olde Alehouse the heart
of the neighborhood, where glasses
are raised, plates are full, and music
fills the air. It wasn’t always smooth
sailing; however, the family over-
came hurdles and modified early
plans while always staying true to
their vision of creating a warm,
welcoming space where the com-
munity can gather to enjoy great
food, drinks, and music.
“Opening our business during
COVID and now going into year
And ‘everybody
knows your name’
five has been a huge milestone for
us. When we opened, we had a vi-
sion of a local tap house and small
bites. We had to adjust just to stay
afloat. Fast forward five years, and
we’ve become a staple in the com-
munity for all things food, beer, the
local music scene, and most impor-
tantly community. As our regulars
say, “walking into The Alehouse is
a lot like Cheers, everybody knows
your name,” said owner Ali Marvin.
The Olde Alehouse, located at
945 Los Osos Valley Rd, Los Osos,
is open Tuesday-Sunday, noon to
10 p.m. For more information, visit
