| - While the location of the "ale house" is nice - right in the midst of uptown - is nice, the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. Of course, that could be because it is in Charlotte. I mean most of our venues really don't have a lot of history to them, since we have this tendency to tear things down if they are older than a few years in order to put up something new (and "better" if you believe everything you read).
In this case, it means that you get atmosphere that consists of modern and open, which isn't altogether bad - but an ale house should be more akin to the Irish public house (naturally known as a pub). These are often not as well lit, use wood more than steel, and while they may have plenty of comfort food, they are a far more enjoyable way to spend the afternoon/evening/whatever time you happen upon them.
If you want a generic sports bar that leaves nothing memorable, then by all means, head on over. Otherwise, you might want to keep looking for something with a bit more to it. Just let me know if you find anything.
