| - Waverly continues to add more restaurants and shops and as a result, the parking situation is hairy. Today, I went with Sid, John, Arlene, and Mary to the recently opened Carolina Ale House. Let me be frank, I am not a fan of sports bars or pub food, but I wanted to at least try this new restaurant. It is close to my house and close to my spouse's workplace. So we went. First impression: cavernous. The place is big and has multiple rooms. A lot of sports paraphernalia flank the walls. It is colorful and bright, despite being cavernous. I ordered a salad with apple strips and blue cheese crumbles and chicken. Luckily, I was able to steal some fries off of the plates of the others. I thought the salad was exactly what I expected. The fries were really great - nicely salted. For whatever reason, they were messing with the sound system while we were there. For a few seconds, the music became so loud that my eardrums about burst. I went to inform the manager that we could no longer talk with music that loud, but he came to our table and apologized and said that they shouldn't have been messing with the sound system during business hours. So, the music went back to normal. And then the sound fluctuations started again. Whatever. All in all, a decent meal and I guess I will concede that Waverly needed a Sports Bar. I wish this place well.
