Profile

This small, simple, stark bar, from the owners of The Magician and Tile Bar, tries to carve out an obvious niche—the unassuming neighborhood joint. The inevitable ubiquitous neon beer signs, chunky bar stools, and exposed-filament lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling are all that decorates the burgundy interior. There are twelve beers on tap (not exactly worthy of the “ale house” distinction) and enough high-end plasma TVs to watch a game, but compared to the area’s varied offerings—Blue Owl cocktail lounge, the collegiately raucous Professor Thom's, and hip Momofuku Ssäm Bar, just across the street—12th Street Ale House offers little more than a ho-hum evening.

You can't ask for better drink deals on weeknights and using yesterday (first Sunday of NFL) as an example this is a great place to watch any game (lots of plasmas) and can't be beat drink specials. If you're looking for a good bar with a good jukebox, and always room to sit this is the spot. i go here whenever possible...doesn't matter the occasion. You'll see just about any type of bargoer there. Very unpretentious spot and i love it for that reason.
