Loved that this is a repurposed school. They did a great job handling the crowd with current pandemic limitations. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the types of beers they are serving. Great selection of craft beers. I will be back

While in town for training at Redstone Arsenal I checked out Straight to Ale. The park like setting with outdoor seating was an excellent spot for a pleasant summer evening. The Monkeynaut IPA was very good but it was really the Crispy Asian ribs on the menu that brought me back for an end of week Friday night dinner. I highly recommend not only for Straight to Ale but there are 2 or 3 other breweries to choose from at this awesome campus like setting.

Stopped in on a business trip, fantastic food and the Craft is excellent (Watermelon Wheat is Fantastic!!).
One of the three Stephanie's, was very helpful and friendly, all except for the demand to buy into the $200 club, to be able to buy the best tee-shirt.
....Super Bummer.
Other than that, highly recommend, ask for Stephanie!

Was waiting to see what the rave was about. Came away disappointed since there were a lot of 5 star ratings. My burger was not quality meat. It had several hard things in it that you normally find with cheap quality meat. Further i ordered it without cheese, and it came without everything.... I ordered the homemade chips; got fries.
The bright side was the Asian ribs seemed good to my son, but at 22 he usually cleans his plate. Not this time.
Also i appreciate the bartender. He really busted it and i tipped him accordingly.

We went last night and would go back. Burger was really good, pretzel good and poutine with bbq good. Pizza, not good, $15.00 for a sausage pizza that tasted like it was from the frozen food section. Service great and drinks good.

My family and stopped by Straight to Ale as we always do when we are in town, (3 to 4 times a year), to enjoy some good beer, food, and let my 11 year old son get his pinball fix. While the beer and food were on par with previous visits, the family friendly environment had been greatly diminished. They now have a policy of no one under 21 in the game room. I can understand not allowing unsupervised minors, but not to allow them at all is a little ridiculous. We stayed for a beer and food, but quickly moved on to Pints and Pixels, they welcome kids until 9 PM. I have recommended Straight to Ale to dozens of families over the past few years and I hope they will reconsider this anti- family environment policy so I can do so again. I live in Nashville and have seen the impact that a great brewery scene merged with a welcoming family environment can have on the social scene.

The owner/food & beverage manager should be gone. This place has so much potential but slack maintenance keep the restrooms and outdoor bars nasty and stinky. The HR policy is nonexistent and there's no telling who will serve you and if they will be wearing clean clothes or not. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. The menu is outdated and the food is really poor yet expensive. The drinks and home brewed beer, while outstanding, are also expensive. The patio and the home brewed nature are the only thing saving this place from bankruptcy I'm fairly sure. This place just needs someone who knows what they're doing and someone who cares.

I am so happy I decided to have lunch here. I almost passed because of some not so great reviews and checked brewery down the road first which had a horrible vibe and very high food prices. Decided to just give Straight to Ale a try and it was top notch. The service was personable, down to earth and attentive. The bartender was very knowledgeable about the beers and made sure I enjoyed my meal. The IPA was delicious- I wish I was not driving back to Nashville after lunch or I would have had more. The grilled cheese was stuffed full with cheese and toppings and so good. I visit Huntsville a few times a year and will be back without hesitation.

Having a blast. I was traveling through Huntsville, but stopped at the rocket museum, which honestly was great. But spoke to a couple of the rocket scientists there, who recommended this brewery, and it was only about 3 miles away. The brewery has great beer, and a garden area with a large lawn where people were throwing Frisbees. You can walk through the brewery part with the tanks of beer. But then I saw school lockers, and thought "What kind of school is in a brewery?". There is a set of lockers there, which suddenly moved by itself. It's a secret door to a speakeasy. Not joking. They also have an Arcade here, an axe throwing place, and a ballroom which is the gymnasium of the middle school that used to be here. So much fun! I'm coming back, and I changed my plans to stay another day here in Huntsville.

I go there every time I am in Huntsville (5-7 times a year) and I have yet to be disappointed. Great burgers, great chips, and excellent craft beer. The place is located at Campus 805, a closed down middle school that was launched into a multiple business mall-like place. Huge pinball arcade room downstairs!! All hail the Monkeynaught beer \m/
