If you’re searching for a place to catch a game and chill with friends accompanied by a great collection of beer and great food and ambiance, you simply have to go to Carolina Ale House! Operating under the motto “food, sports & fun”, these guys simply know how to serve a memorable experience – on your plate and around your table.
The menu features scratch-made meals, great cocktails, and ice-cold prints. If you haven’t tried the town favorite and their signature burger, the Pub Burger, now’s the time to do so. How does a 1/2 pound of beef topped with American cheese, smoky bacon, onion strings, and Papa Lou’s special sauce, paired with a draft beer sound? To us, it sounds divine!
The menu also features appetizing shareables, such as everyone’s favorite Pepperoni Flatbread, Frickles (Dill pickle chips with creamy ranch), and the Beer-Battered Cheese Curds.
