Carolina Ale House - Charleston

They had not many vegetarian options, but they were very accommodating! I had a kicked pickel po boy. it was great!

Superb 3rd floor location offers a splendid vantage for sunset views of Marion Square. Sports bar fare at very reasonable prices.

While the food was quite nice especially for the price and the view superb, but waitress was horrible and forgot literally everything and we had to wait and repeat and wait and repeat ... too bad for this really nice location.

Let me get to the point of why I gave them 2 stars ... $8, 12oz pours for not-so-rare craft beer. I don't know that I've ever paid $8 for a pint in places like Chicago, DC, Atlanta, etc. Vegas may be one of the only places I've ever paid that much for a 12oz. pour, but the atmosphere was quite different. Stopped in here last night to watch the football game. Located at the top of a building, it had a walkout to an outdoor patio that overlooks parts of Charleston which is nice; also offers indoor seating. TV's available that can be watched both inside and outside. Service was ok. It wasn't that busy, but our waitress still seemed to let our glasses sit empty for quite awhile. Moral of the story, if you intend to drink anything other than Bud light, Michelob, etc. look somewhere else. There are plenty of rooftop patios in the area that charge half this for a drink.

We went on a Tuesday around 7 pm after a children's performance at Gaillard so of course we had our 6 year old with us. Server could not even be bothered other look at us as she walked by, and we tried to get her attention for to-go boxes or the chec Intentionally looked the other way. Crappy attitude and I really tried to be nice and engage her but she was dead-set on not even TR YING to be pleasant. Food was typical bar food, nothing spectacular. they were out of pasta for the kid but mostly her attitude being as bad as it was was enough for is not to return.
