An award-winning Ale House
The Old Ale House in Truro is simply the best place for a fresh pint of ale right in the heart of our home city. From fresh brews of local beers to small batch seasonal releases.
But we are so much more than just a pub; we are the home of live music in Truro. Kicking off the week with Jam Night every Monday, we also host acoustic sessions, open mic nights and Truro Folk Sessions (first Tuesday of every month).

One of the finest stocked bars in the South West
The Old Ale House has a cult following with all beer lovers. We love our real ale and cider, but if that’s not to your liking we have a wide range of gins, whiskeys, rums and vodka from all over the globe. We also have a selection of hot beverages and soft drinks.

Discounts for NHS staff and Blue Lights Workers available with valid photo ID.
