Capital Ale House Reviews

Poor ownership that were way behind the times is regards to proper systems in place to be a profitable business. They are focused on the wrong things that they think will grow their brand.

- CAH doesn't stop serving food til 1 am so late nights are almost always guaranteed. This is especially tough if you're a student who has class in the morning or working another job. At first it may not seem like much but after awhile you can lose a lot of sleep if you are trying to juggle working here and going to school. - If you have a table, you MUST stay with that table until they leave. You absolutely cannot give your table away to anyone else under any circumstance. So even if you've had that table for 8+ hours, you still have to stay with them. This has got to be one of the biggest annoyances of working here. - The downtown location of CAH is massive. Three stories to be exact. The restaurant is actually two buildings put together. The main floor is the main dining area, bar and music hall. Downstairs is the game room & bar as well as a beer garden. Upstairs is office space where the owners are. As you can imagine though, running around on a busy Friday night gets to be exhausting at times because of how big the restaurant is. If your legs aren't in good shape when you start here, they definitely will be within a month. - Requesting time off usually isn't a problem at all. If you do it in advance and mention it to the manager making the schedule, it's almost always granted unless there's a big party/reservation/wedding reception where a lot of workers are needed. In addition, they work well with school schedules and/or if you have another job. Only stipulation is that you have to work Monday for Burger Night. If you can't, you more than likely won't be hired; if you are hired, you'll probably be given a pretty lame schedule every week.
