Metro Ale House - Pomona

Really big room! The food is excellent and the beer choices are great. Definitely sharing the Pomona Fries for the table. The two banquet places are also really great. The image is a view from the second story banquet room.

1st time here and I was blown away! The food and drinks were amazing and our server Gonzalo made the experience so much better! Gonzalo made sure our drinks never ran out and made sure our food was to our liking! I will most definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family!

We were looking for something simple and tasty after a long, hot day of helping the son move into college. This popped up as a possibility and, as one who's long had an interest in the Pomona Mall, I decided we'd give it a try. Metro wants to be a sports bar, an event center, a dance hall, etc. We could only judge the first, and it does a decent, if uneven, job. FOOD Basic brewpub fare: burgers, sandwiches, a few dishes, pasta combos. We both had the pastrami burgers, which were tasty if hard to hold. My onion rings were good, as were my wife's brussel sprouts. DRINK While there were some interesting and local brews on tap, a lot of what was there was standard Big Bev beers, with a heavy lean on the IPAs. They also had a decent set of house cocktails. Our mules were both good, though not well mixed when we received them. I followed up with a Kilt Lifter scottish ale which was quite nice. SERVICE Quick and attentive. Granted, it wasn't busy early on a Saturday night, but our waiter was right there, whenever we needed him, and the food and drink both came out fast. Staff was all wearing masks, and other reviews indicate they have been very diligent in dealing with the pandemic. AMBIENCE A classy looking joint inside, with an atrium to a higher floor. TV screens scattered all over the place, though we managed to choose a table with very few that we had a clear view of. Interesting play set of music going on, which was lightly distracting but not too badly loud. OVERALL I'd recommend this place for someone to give a try. There's nothing that really recommends it from other sports bars, but it's not a big chain operated from another state, but a local business, a key tenant on the Pomona Mall, so supporting it helps support the community, too.

My wife and I have often go to the bar downstairs and decided to try out the restaurant for lunch. I'm glad we did. Excellent burgers, great vibe, and solid service. Seems like it would be a great place to catch a game, and the patio seating is dope, too!

Good music the bartender was very friendly and good service I will go back
