The Ale Stone in Leicester

Had 2 nice pints and a friendly atmosphere. What more do you need.

Good atmosphere, great beer in a quaint little bar.

Everything nice,great family atmosphere and clientele

Great pub, Leighton behind the bar is so friendly and a real asset to this great little pub. It's got a friendly local boozer feel, despite not being in the countryside. The selection of beers are great, and the opportunity to pull up a still and chat to the barman is brilliant.

Absolutely smashing place, Always a smile when you arrive, Great relaxing place for a visit.

A great little bar serving a great range of cider and beer from a range of different breweries, UK and beyond. Not too pricey and they keep the beer very well! Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Brilliant pub no music so you can just talk

Quite a good Choice of a Lot of nice Beers.

Great little pub with excellent real ale offering.

We stopped for a beer after a concert *Kasabian. There we made direct contact with the barman and 2 other nice people and got into a great conversation. Unfortunately, we couldn't chat with them any longer. Maybe we'll meet again there or at the Fusion or in Dortmund! All the best!

Great place, good people, lovely staff, oh and the drinks excellent 😋

Great atmosphere and locals and above all beer is well kept and crisp

Great little craft beer tap room. Cask beer didn’t look too exciting (I don’t know that it wasn’t, just didn’t hook me) so went for a keg beer which was truly delicious. Bar man was excellent. Bar has a great layout / proper craft bar vibe. Looked to be plentiful supply of cans to take out. The beer I had was a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for - and it was excellent beer so well worth it.

Best pub in Aylestone by miles.

Staff are fantastic, and I can honestly say it has one of the best selections of beer I have come across in leicester!

A quaint place for Real Ale and conversation.

Great place, great beers, staff, and the crisps are good too 😁

First time great to meet up with some friends xx

Lovely local pub with excellent beers and good company. Unpretentious.

Lovely homely little pub, really relaxing vibes and great selection of beers

Great selection of beers a warm and friendly place. Can't fault it.

Wife and I called in for a couple of pints last weekend. Really pleasant atmosphere with some good ales on cask. I had a summer fruit flavoured stout which was very refreshing. Dog friendly is an added bonus and the knowledge of the barman (possibly landlord?) was of a high standard. Excellent customer service. The only downside was the selection on offer. As there is no craft ale shops I can find in the area, it would have been nice to have an area with a selection from different breweries (Tiny Rebel, Vocation, Turning Point etc).

Really nice decent ale House in the middle of alystone. Very friendly staff too. Lovely atmosphere

Nice small pub in centre of Aylestone. Convenient for bus stop which is just outside decent selection of beers and ciders.

New friendly owner. Great real ale.

Now one of my go to local pubs, always a great atmosphere to enjoy a drink in

Very nice place pleasant friendly staff

Excellent real ales. Staff and other customers are all friendly. And well priced

Great beer and friendly service.

Great little, pub nice selections of ales and. Warm and welcoming in side with good staff

Good beer, good people, tiny toilet!

Lovely pub. Very friendly and welcoming.

Great little real ale micro pub

Fantastic ales great surroundings

Lovely little boozer with gorgeous ales, very friendly owner and great service - well worth a visit! 👌🔥😁🍻

Always made welcome,always good beer, always good staffing! Always special. Thanks Alex and all at the Ale Stone!!

What a lovely little pub. Cosy. Great ale.

Usually a great real ale pub but currently due to COVID-19 its been converted into an amazing off license full of the weird and wonderful. Expect small batch artisan brews from around the world rather than mass produced drinks, piled high and ever changing. Check out their Facebook page for new offerings each week. The nature of the beers they sell means its not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Great guys, great place. Do yourself a favour and go take a look

Excellent micro pub in the 2020 CAMRA good beer guide. Choice of 4 real ales. I enjoyed one. Then drank Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus. A top Belgium beer. Friendly locals and bar staff. Only a short bus ride from Leicester city centre also another two pubs to try before bus back.

It's now brilliant has anybody seen Claire?

Nice pub, too small if you want any privacy but it does great ales.

Very friendly atmosphere, dog friendly, beer is kept well. Just wish there was a garden for summer

Wonderful beer and friendly locals. Came after visiting and enjoying its sister pub the blue boar,with in the city.

Good beer, friendly atmosphere 👌🏻

Friendly micro brewery...great ales...great staff...top marks!!😎

Lovely dog friendly pub with great ale and friendly staff

Great beer and lovely settings and atmosphere..also very dog friendly

Great beer and cider selection. Very friendly atmosphere, we are not from the area and felt welcomed.

One of my favourite places to drink, has a good selection of real beers and cider. No lager in sight except for one bottle of craft in the fridge. They always have really top quality beer, some on cask and some keg. The cheese and onion cobs are quite frankly ridiculous, so big!

Popped in to the Aylestone while waiting for the car to be washed was really surprise a the quility of the coffee and the huge ploughman’s lunch was great. the girl serving us seemed plesent enough

Great local! Friendly patrons, great ales...happy days 😁👍

It’s nice to have somewhere local where we can sit with friends that isn’t just a pub pub. There’s so many different ales and craft beers to choose from you won’t struggle to find one if you’re in to that sort of thing. My father in law only drinks lager and there’s even something for him. All bar staff are lovely and welcoming. We are so luck to have this on our doorstep.

Very good, sometimes get a few dogs and children all over.

Good beer, well chosen and kept!!

Genuinely was surprised by how cosy and nice this little pub is. Everything on tap was interesting and tasty, none of that corporate garbage. To see honest I have to drop a start only because of how small the establishment is; it only has 3 tables. But if that doesn't bother you consider this a 5 star.

Great little boozer with lots of different ales and stouts to try

No frills , simple, good beer/ good cobs.

Great staff and guest beers, would recommend for that something different

Full of different ales worth a visit

Friendly staff, standard selection of drinks, limited food.

Dee is class bar maid, had a mint time

We visit most weekends.. and always feel welcome and left to our own devices really. Great selection of beer from stout, mild and golden ales.. grand filled cobs and a fab cheese board.. a little gem in Aylestone.. a must visit...

Great beer, banter and cheese cobs, buff said

we work in the aylestone area of leicester and was so pleased when this place opened as we are real ale fans and use there other pub the blue boar which is great but sadly the alestone started very good with good beers and snacks 9am till 9pm with great chat and people then they put in larger on draught and also as time went on became a playground for a local group with kids thinking they own the place also the snacks and some nice locals deserted the place such a shame as was a special little pub i hope the owners can revamp the place back to its former self A REAL ALE PUB FOR GOOD CONVERSATION AND GOOD BEER also please stop people bringing in bags of chips etc lets have the old place and values back

Always a good welcome and good atmosphere to sit and have a drink. Have had coffee here which is good. A cheese cob is great for a snack and good range of beers and some spirits too

First visit, but thoroughly enjoyed the place. Had a good feel about it. Will be returning!

Lovely pub, friendly staff, excellent beers.

Went in on Friday evening....it's a big small...but with a good range of craft type beers...friendly atmosphere....well worth going in...

I visited The Ale Stone for the first time today. Wow. Proper beer in very pleasant surroundings. No banging music, just a nice calm ambiance. Nice friendly staff . The place was full of well mannered customer's who looked to be relaxed and enjoying the place and the beer. I will be visiting The Ale Stone again next time I'm over that way. I recomend the place.

A lovely little Pub in Aylestone selling a good selection of hand pulled makes and Sam Smiths bottled beers. It has now turned into a creche. Barmaid too interested in Children rather that serving customer's. Great shame. Everyone is expected to enjoy the antics of a toddler.

Fab little place expensive but good quality

Nice place to drink friendly staff and customers

Excellent selection of beers and good company

I would probably live here, except a few of the locals do love the sound of their own voices a bit much for a small place. Still, it's great.

Popped into this relatively new place with some friends on the way to watch Leicester Tigers play down the road. Very cramped inside, but even worse...NO GUINNESS! Amazing but true. A good number of Rugby fans drink this dusky brew, so we will be avoiding this place in future!

Nice cosy place with good selection of craft ales etc... friendly staff.... and, if you're driving, there's a carwash at rear!

Great place for real ales,very friendly, loved it.

Great beer selection. Pleasant staff who know their ale. Great pub.

Superb watering Hole with quality beers available. Nice and pleasant surroundings.

Great beer range and hospitality. Definitely worth a visit!

I enjoyed a reasonable pint here but I thought the range was disappointing. The place was a bit dour and the welcome underwhelming. I felt very much the beer tourist that I was. Shan't rush back.

Excellent choice of beer and cider

Amazing. Super cheese board to compiment the bubbles. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Can not wait to revisit. 🧀🥂

very nice atmosphere and good ale 👍

This is a small real ale pub with a good selection of real ales that change on a regular basis. There's no music or TV so you have to talk There's a good selection of snack and every Sunday morning you can get a lovely bacon cob cooked to perfection. I could say more but you really must visit this pub. Evan if just for a coffee and biscuits. Dogs are welcome.

Great pub, very good choice of beers. Worth the visit.

Excellent micro pub in Leicester

Real ale bar. Good beer, nice folks.

Brilliant pub freindly staff and great beer

Liked it but very hard to talk when busy.

Nice and very friendly local pub. Great selection of beers and ciders.

Great beers and welcoming atmosphere

Small friendly nice selection of real ale

For such a small place The Ale Stone has such a great variety of beers snd ciders and i would definitely recommend the gin. If only they could get a beer garden it would be perfect

Great cheese board and ale selection

Very friendly bar staff, nice place for a social drink

Really great place to drink but limited seats and always busy so often have to stand

What a lovely little place this is! Very small pub. Excellent beers. Friendly staff.

I was excited when this new bar opened up round the corner from me. It shares the same internal wood facade as its sister pub " The Blue Boar". Initially this caused it to literally heat up like a sauna, but that's fixed now, and if you're in, or near Aylestone, drop in. Ever changing selection of real ales, bar snacks, decent wines. If you're by car, find a side street, any bus down the Aylestone road will drop you outside the door. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and happy to let you taste before you buy. What we with Black horse 3 minutes walk away , Aylestone is a fantastic place for a drink or 4.But let's be clear, this is a pub!
