Line Cook

Ale House GJ

Colorado has always been on the frontier of homegrown, homemade and handcrafted. At the Ale
House, its in everything we do, from making our food to choosing our beer to mixing our cocktails,
sourcing locally whenever we can.

We have a history with great beer. Grand Junction is home to Breckenridge Brewerys original Ale
House, a place of unparalleled hospitality on Colorados western slope. So it's no wonder we proudly
feature over 35 rotating craft beer taps! Our restaurant is big enough to handle large parties, yet
intimate and inviting in every aspect of the space. The massive patio relaxes and enlivens the senses
with outdoor eating, drinking and entertainment.

Comfort, fun, and hospitality are the foundation of everything we do at the Ale House. So, if youre into
that sort of thing, youve come to the right place to join an amazing team.
