Capitalizing LOVE doesn't do Al Mike's justice. I moved to Fourth Ward in 2014 after being in Charlotte for six years. I bought a place off South Blvd. in 2016 and one of the very few things (only, maybe) I miss about Fourth Ward is Al Mike's. They are great for a sit-down dinner in a wooden booth that screams old school privacy. At the same time, the bar is inviting to hang out with your neighbors over a pint or mixed drink at a good price.
The staff is the best in Uptown and as good as you'll find in the city. Tucked into the base of the old neighborhood market, this is a true treasure of Charlotte.
