Jack and Claire Miller moved from Philadelphia in 1973 and soon opened the first Ale House Restaurant in Jupiter, Florida in 1988. This successful casual-dining restaurant chain attracts customers from all walks of life by offering great Food and Drinks at an incredible Value. The chain has grown steadily, but conservatively, with a total of 59 restaurants throughout 9 states, as of October 2011. All Ale House restaurants contain a full-service bar featuring wine, liquor and over 75 varieties beer. Two featured proprietary items include "Zingers®" (boneless chicken wings coated in a choice of sauces) and a homemade ice cream cake dessert known as "Captain Jack's®".
