Tucked away in a hundred year old building that was originally a General Store in the quaint 4th Ward neighborhood, this is what I call a destination restaurant. You definitely would never just stumble upon it. It was opened in 1983 by two Charlotte attorneys (A. Michael Troiano Jr & Alexander Copeland III), hence the name Alexander Michael's. Great beer selection, friendly staff, fried pickles, tavern atmosphere. WHAT IT IS and the BEEF STROGANOFF don't suck. Dark, cozy and just a fun place to hang out!
