text: Alexander Michaels is a hidden gem in the th Ward It is rare to see restaurants uptown remain open for years but you will quickly find out why Its a pub with the charm of the Cheers bar in a converted yr old house and food that cannot be called grubnnI 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 saucennI think Alexander Michaels 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 TVs though they show sporting events do not distract from conversation like most sports bars and though there is a bar I did not see folks getting hammered on well drinks and PBR Great place to bring friends of all ages and family if they are visiting Charlotte
