Editorial Review for Alexander Michael's – by Brian Mathews

The Skinny
Often called Al Mike's or A.M.'s, this bar has a supremely comfortable feel, both inside and out. Dark wood paneling throughout lends a warm, worn feeling. Locals and folks from all over town gather here each afternoon to soak up the relaxed atmosphere and work off job-related stress. Sitting at the corner of Ninth and Pine in Fourth Ward, the view in front of Alexander Michael's looks like it belongs in another city. If there were more shops or restaurants around, you might think you were standing on a quiet corner in Charleston or Georgetown. Do yourself a favor and take a walk through the neighborhood while you're here.

The Goods
The rich atmosphere is augmented by an excellent beer selection, including imports, domestics and microbrews. The food is standard pub fare, but it's well prepared, well seasoned and well presented.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

With a long bar along one side of the building, booths along the other and tables in between, seating space is maximized, so even when A.M.'s gets crowded, it's still comfortable.

Editor's Review

In a city changing more rapidly than any in the country, authenticity takes a stand in Fourth Ward.  See the full editorial review.
