Great burgers, decent fries, chili was okay, caesar salad was meh, the cheesecake was delicious, and a good selection of tasty beers on tap. Â The service was pretty good overall - great one time (Rachel) and okay the next - and it was a very laid back kind of place with lots of sports on tv. Â I'd go back for the Pub Burger and a good beer.
Review Source:Food was a solid 3
Service was Terrible:1
I am unsure of the total number of times our server walked past our booth and did not notice that our glasses were empty,finally I just reached for my wallet and laid the credit card on the table,she did get that hint and brought the bill.
She also forgot to bring my salad that came with my entree,so when reminded about the salad she gets a to go box and dumps a few greens into the container.
My steak was ok,it was cooked the way I asked,the mashed potatoes were real and not boxed.
The better half said her wings were good.
We both agree that the onion straws were the highlight,the fried pickles were ok but sliced to thick.
There are TV's everywhere so this would be a solid place for watching a game and having a cold one.
First of all, our waitress was still new so I can't blame any of the service on her. It was a slightly busy Saturday night and she was trying her best.
Secondly, the food. You expect regular bar food and it was pretty much just that. We ordered a plate of the fried pickles which were okay but lacking any seasoning. There was a slight aftertaste but couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what it was. We ate them all since we were hungry and drinking a bucket 'o' beer. I ordered the burger with cheese which was nothing great. The meat was dry but at least the toppings were fresh. The "side" of fries was maybe a small handful, at best, of delicious fries. THEY were the tastiest thing I had the whole night! I would go back just to order the fries.
My other diners has so-so dinners as well. Nothing horrible but nothing great either. I will say that the rooftop dining and bar is really great to watch the sunset from and a great place to watch sports.
Solid choice for both atmostphere and location. The rooftop bar is pretty nice on a summer night and you'll get lots of the giant tv screens. Food is fine, nothing to really strongly write home about, but it'll do for an ale house. Service could be a bit better, but if you just want to chill, this is a good choice.
Review Source:For some reason, a lot of people in some of my circles really love this place. Â I do not. Â We only ever go there for after-hours, late night bar hang-out, but it always feels way too much like a restaurant and not enough like a bar, even on the rooftop (the only place we hang out). Â You're always in the way no matter where you stand because there's not enough standing/hang out room. Â Servers with trays of food are always squeezing around you, trying to get by. Â It's probably a great place to go to watch sports, since they have tons of seating space and lots of large tvs (including a projector outside), but I would not recommend it at all for a general group hang out. Â Service is usually fine, busy but attentive considering.
Review Source:Bad service on the rooftop. Sat down one waitress ignored me 2 times, the other waiter ignored me too. Â Finally, got my own menu and another customer at a diff table had to ask his waiter to give me service. This waiter then gave some story about not waiting to steal a coworkers table. Â Seriously? Even after getting my food had to get the salt & pepper myself from another table. Â I wont go back.

This is a clone of a million other sports bar restaurants. You love one, you love them all :)
Location!, location!, location! This is the plus factor this restaurant really promotes, and well so. The upstairs bar and patio is a nice little cozy hangout, really gives it the intimate neighborhood feel! A few pool tables, fairly good size bar, LOTS of big screen TVs, and, overlooking Lady street, a good sized patio with tables and umbrellas. - This place is on the verge of being ginormous- the waitress said they had a reservation for a party of 80??? Wowza!
The food here is typical for this type of restaurant- nachos, burgers, pizzas...They have steaks and seafood on the menu- might be better to save your money for a cold one here?? The selection of draft and bottled beer is probably about average, about 30 of each-all the favorites.
The service is spotty. Sometimes, I believe, people work at a place and get comfortable with the surroundings and assume you are just as comfortable- hello, I don't know whats upstairs, I don't know what kind of beer you have on tap...I had to retrieve our menus and silverware, one waiter said.. oh yeah man, help yourself. I guess I should be happy I'm part of the family :)
I've been here a good number of times and the best thing I've had on their menu is the hot spinach dip! It is divine. Everything else I've had has just tasted like good bar food. If you go, the place to sit (if its a nice day) is the upstairs rooftop bar. I went at  five thirty on a monday and it was still really crowded. Worth the trip for happy hour and appetizers!
Review Source:My husband has raved about the Ale House for some time now so I was looking forward to checking it out myself. I wasn't necessarily impressed, but it was far from a let down. I liked the amount of TVs and thought that the selection of beers was nice, as should be expected from a place called "ale house". Our server was friendly, though she seemed a bit scattered and messed up our order. My husband absolutely loathes sending food back to the kitchen, but I'm not one for keeping things that aren't what we ordered. They fixed our order, hopefully no "special sauce" got added in the back lol. I think the wings were awesome... their fried pickles were disappointing (I'll stick to Buffalo Wild Wings for these) and their Sweet Tea Mojito was lackluster (again, go to Blue across the street for this drink). I did enjoy the greek pita I ordered and my husband liked his burger. This is a small thing, but I love that this place gives celery AND carrot sticks with their wings. So many restaurants have scaled back and only give celery and it's annoying.
I'd like to give this place another try once the weather warms up a bit and see how the outdoor seating is upstairs... seems like a nice time.
It was ok. Â I just wanted some food in my stomach and a beer before bed. Â I came to the bar, the beer selection was just ok. Â I actually ended up with a bud light. Â I really wanted pizza, so I ordered one. Â It was relatively inexensive. Â It was ok, but the sauce had a lot of big chunks of onions in it. Â I know there are often onions in the sauce, but they should be cooked in enough that someone who hates onions, and didn't order any on their pizza, can eat it without having to chew on and choke down a bunch of onion. Â I ate one piece and went home. Â I have the leftovers...maybe I'll pick off the toppings.
On the other hand, they do have UFC, Â They have a lot of TVs and would probably be a good place to go to watch sports.
Hard to judge a place off one visit. The food was nice. At least mine was; others I was with said the French Onion Soup they orderedwas "too peppery". Â
Service on the other hand....let's just say "don't joke with your server".  I said one harmless little joke about wanting my  burger cooked "over fire" and "Michelle" (whose name I haven't changed!) did her best to ignore me the remainder of our time there.  And against my initial urge....I still left a generous tip--bitches need to get paid too.
Doubt I'll be back.
We stopped by after a long day visiting the Riverbanks zoo... We were very hungry, and the food at Carolina ale house hit the spot. Â The pub burger comes loaded with fried onions, special sauce, and is 1/2lb sirloin. Â Delivered to the table with a big old steak knife stabbed in the middle... It was a great burger. Â The Reuben sandwich didn't have 1000 island dressing to our surprise, but it was still very tasty and was made with really good rye bread. Â The kids menu didn't disappoint, the kids enjoyed their fresh battered corn dogs. Â Had a fresh tasting Sweetwater 420 draft for $2.50. Â Love it. Â Service was courteous and fast. Â Definitely a cool pub, covered in USC and Clemson sports memorabilia. We also enjoyed seeing the Congaree Vista district and the "rehabbed warehouse" vibe they've built up there. Â Enjoy!
Review Source:It's a frat-boy beer bar...only the frat-boys are out of college with real jobs and incomes.  The crowd here tends to be 30+.  I went because they have "beer " in the name.  I was pleasantly surprised to find a half decent tuna sandwich on the menu.  And more importantly, they have $2 drafts  daily!  Love the Ale House!  If you like inexpensive beer, sports that matter on tv, cougars in training, and the freaky frat boys that love them......go here.
Review Source:Walked over for lunch today with some co-workers. Atmosphere was ok, but with a name like Carolina Ale House, I guess I was expecting a little more ambiance. Â It felt just like every Applebees, Ruby Tuesdays, Smokey Bones, etc I've ever been in; open the box and you're ready for business.
Food was average, at best. Â My fries were cold and the "blue cheese" dressing for my buffalo chicken breast sandwich was mayonnaise with what *may* have been a few chunks of blue cheese. Â The bun didn't taste fresh, either, and the lady with us who got the crab cake sandwich was also saying something about the bun she got.
Prices were ok but the waiter seemed less than thrilled to be of service (and the place was pretty empty, at that).
This place was great! I came here for Family Weekend when I was visiting my sister and my family really enjoyed it. It was a game day, so it was a great place to get amped up for the game. I loved all of the Clemson and South Carolina memorabilia and all of the TVs set up with ALL the college games on.
The food was really good. My dad raved about the baked potato soup and my mom loved the chicken noodle soup. For my meal I had sweet tea (really good) and the Greek Pizette. It was a little bigger than a personal pan pizza and covered with feta, chicken, tomatoes, Alfredo sauce....it was REALLY good. The pizza can be split. It is perfectly baked with a thin and crispy crust, so it isn't heavy. I would definitely come here again next time at USC.
This review is for the location in Irmo.
Yet another stop in our quest to discover if we could live in Columbia, an early Sunday lunch.
We were the first ones here and it being 11 on a Sunday we didn't sample any of the beer. Hubby said the sweet tea was lovely and his Cesar salad was good but my turkey pits sandwich was pretty disgusting and I really wasn't thrilled with his chicken fingers.
Service was good, but we were the first ones there. I think that the bar is probably pretty happening during games but alas we missed the action. Probably won't go back but it was a passable lunch spot.
