Carolina Ale House

Not a big fan.  Food was sub-par, service was slow, and hostess was rude.

Would definitely try this place again to see if my experience was an off-day for the restaurant.

I had the steak salad, guest had the carolina brisket sandwich.----

Carolina Ale House. It has everything:

Fat girls,  bald guys, roid rage, an emaciated socialite, awkward parties, the scent of last night's fratboy vomint, party mommas, beer, bland food, tvs...

They also have a lousy bartender and shift/leader who double charged for 12 beers when we had 6. Ridiculous. If I'd had 6 Hopsicutioners and my pal 6 Dead Guys, we'd have been unconscious.

We've been semi-regulars for some time, whenever feeling like watching the menagerie and killing time before going to a real restaurant or real bar, but from now on we'll pass.

Splash. Plop. Flush.

Hey! What's up?

Carolina Ale House is assey.

Let me explain. It's actually kewl because they have decent beers and food, a great balcony, and the people watching is da kewlest! Dunderhead tourists from the Westin and lots of DL dudes. No one can tell you're gay, really!! (ROTFL)

BUT they double charged my big and his boyfriend, insisting they had SIX pints of high gravity beer in three hours. Dude, if this was the case, they would have been on the floor! Especially considering that they already had a couple of cocktails at Red Fin before.

They had a shift change and screwed up the bill. They charged them double for the 3 beers they actually did have. My big is a regular there 2 or 3 times a week. He never drinks six beers!! But the staff and manger argued with them tonight and insisted they did.

They also lied. The manager said he poured them three beers and another guy poured them three. Actually two of the three beers they did each have had been poured by the guy working the shift before them. They didn't have 6 beers apiece, and they certainly didn't have 8!!

This is not the first service problem they've had at Alehouse. And both times towing the company line has been more important than treating the customers with respect. As loyal customers and fans of the restaurant, this was an incredibly insulting experience. Any restaurant who trains their staff to lie, shame, and embarrass loyal regulars does not deserve to be in business.

As a socially connected feline, I'm going to spread the word on this far and wide.

Thank you I know.
