| - Walking into Big Al's in Cornelius is like walking into a sports bar in Buffalo, or what I imagine walking into a sports bar in Buffalo to be like.
Bills jerseys and pictures adorn the walls, and if there was even the slightest of doubts this is a football haven, a board beside the bar ticks down the minutes until opening kickoff...even if it's months away!
This is one of the reasons I like Big Al's...it doesn't pretend to be something its not. It's a straight-up sports bar.
Yeah, its not incredibly spacious. Yeah, its smoky.
The wings are good though, as is the chicken parmesan sub and the pizza.
There are plenty of TVs, and live music off-and-on throughout the week.
And should the need to escape the inside atmosphere arise, there is a small patio out front to retire to.
If you're looking for a low-key evening, have a hankering for tossing a few beers back at something resembling a neighborhood pub, or need a good place to yell at the TV on NFL Sunday, Big Al's has a spot waiting for you.
