Prime time location for your after work happy hours, the Carolina Ale house has plenty of seating enveloped in sports TVs or even outdoors on their patio, which comes with a nice street level view for people watching.
Typical bar with typical bar food of typical quality. The staff is less than attentive and I've been dissappointed with the level of urgency, quality and service on multiple occasions. Seems like we get a trainee every time we're there, so turnover has got to be a real problem. That said, no way it should take as long as it does to simply take an order on a new guest and get them a beer.
The prices are also less than ideal as a bottle of beer can easily top $5 and are often in the $6-$7 range depending on your choice of suds.
There's literally a dozen classier, better serviced, sports friendly watering holes within a two block radius - this wouldn't be the first place I'd suggest heading after a long day of work in uptown Charlotte.
