Alexander Michael's is a hidden gem in the 4th Ward. It's rare to see restaurants uptown remain open for 27 years, but you'll quickly find out why. Its a pub with the charm of the Cheers bar (in a converted 100 yr. old house) and food that cannot be called \"grub\".\n\nI visited last week and felt immediately welcome in this cozy tavern. Despite the busyness of that night, we were served promptly The server was quite friendly; she offered suggestions of her fav dishes and the most commonly ordered ones. After seeing the positive reviews for the London Broil sandwich, I opted for this sandwich with onion rings. . The London Broil sandwich was moist and bursting with flavor, like it was slow cooked. The onion rings tasted homemade. My friend ordered the copious bread pudding dessert and found it quite tasty as it was covered in caramel sauce.\n\nI think Alexander Michael's exudes \"chill\" and this is what is so attractive about it. The clientele was young and old; it neither felt like a country club or a college sports bar. The TV's (though they show sporting events) don't distract from conversation like most sports bars and though there is a bar, I didn't see folks getting hammered on well drinks and PBR. Great place to bring friends of all ages and family if they are visiting Charlotte.
