50 Best Bars in Charlotte

“#1 place in clt. be there or be a ken main“

“Love Para! Great staff and Menu!!“

“I’m super late to this review, but we saw Chris Staples perform here about a month back, and Humbug is the PERFECT place for intimate, live shows with your favorite artists. The mixed drinks are strong without tasting strong (the best win in my book), and they feel very much worth the price because of the punch they pack. The staff are crazy accommodating (they initially forgot my order of a Klondike bar and brought me a free extra as an apology, which was so kind but unnecessary!), and they’re great at pointing you to a drink based on vibes. The menu changes often, and parking is ample.“

“All was beyond expectations, from the service to the dessert.“

“We had the best experience with your great bartender Emmet . He was so fun and helpful. Food and drinks did not disappoint!“

“We visited Charlotte for the Nascar Roval race and we were lucky enough to find this bar. We flew over from Dublin, and believe me Dublin has some good bars however this was one of the top bars I ever visited. Great value beer, full of friendly folk, great music and brilliant atmosphere. You guys from Charlotte are blessed to have this bar and a great backstory.“

“Love the Ginger Ale I bought at Publix in Alabama!“

“This is a first class joint! I love to come to here to have a great time. It is clean and everyone is super respectful ! Drinks are excellent .“

“This is the best dive bar in CLT. Great prices and friendly staff. Not a cocktail bar, if you want fancy drinks go next door where they make great ones. Come here if you still believe $2 highlife is the right price and enjoy down to earth people.“

“Flowers, plants and beer/wine! What more to life could you want?!“

“Absolutely awesome place, possibly the best nachos in ballantyne if not all of Charlotte. Also, it is one of the best places to watch the Commanders. Great atmosphere, awesome specials…..Go Commanders!“

“We needed a Gluten Free option and the usuals are getting old! The Steak sandwich on a GF bun was delicious! It fit the bill perfectly for what we were seeking. The Parmesan potato’s pancake was cooked to perfection. The only adjustments I would make was (when the steak was after the server asked and the steak was ordered medium, that it should have at least some pink), but it was tender and flavorful. The multi-server thing got confusing. One person took drink order, another delivered (1 was incorrect), another ran the food and we were not told of the multi-layered service). Everyone was nice, it was just a little confusing and no one ever asked about drink refills and when the coffee cup was empty there was no one around for a long time. But… we still like the food, prices, atmosphere, options, and consistency.“

“Tyler took care of us. My Celiac situation was handled with attention. The food came out fast and hot, and my husband and granddaughter loved the Keylime pie. Very much recommended and we will certainly go back.“

“Amazing customer service and suburb organic quality drinks beyond expectations. Highly recommend. Thank you!!“

“Full disclosure, I have not been here yet, however with David running the show over there I'm sure he's crushing it like everywhere he goes, I was fortunate to be his boss at Whiskey Tango years ago. One of the best bartenders I have worked with ( in all my years and that's a lot) With David though, as a bartender you're never really his boss, not that he doesn't listen he just really doesnt need direction. IHes that good. Keep on rocking it there sir.“

“Great casual place. Service is awesome. Locally owned Bartender Joe is fabulous“

“Love the 80s arcade games …MTV generation playground!!! Great cocktails!“

“Really nice outdoor fun with good drinks“

“We stopped for dinner with 4 young kids after traveling in the car all day. They were fantastic and accommodating even though most people wouldn't bring their kids! The food was phenomenal and prices were great. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Quick lunch bite… Friendly and attentive bartender… Great environment… Might just end up back there tonight.“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere, menu, drinks and most of all great staff. I stopped in last week to pick up gift cards for the holiday and they were having an issue with the system. The manger explained the situation and offered alternatives. I chose to come back this week to purchase the cards and the manager remembered me and thanked me for returning as did the bartender. If you’ve never been, give it a try. I can almost guarantee you’ll return too.“

“Michelle is the absolute best. I love this woman. All though I don't get out no more, she always make it her business to share her events with me.THATS A REAL BOSS. IM COMING SIS����#ImHer#1Fan4Li“

“I went to the restaurant for the first time and the waiter who served me very well was Gustavo, he is very friendly and attentive. I felt like it was the first time eating Brazilian food. He gave me great recommendations. I really liked his service and whenever I go back I want to be served by him. Thank you very much. It is because of employees like him that the company moves forward.“

“Great local music. Eclectic group“

“My family loved Ashley tonight. My daughters went to the Billie Eilish Concert and we stayed at the bar the entire time. We even left for about a hour and came back to our same spot in the bar. Ashley welcomed us and we truly found a gem.

This bar was busy tonight and the games were showing. My husband and I had an amazing time.“

“Great place for cigar smokers“

“Great hangout location! They have a wide selection of beers/wines on draft, craft beers, and ciders. Based on the bartenders recommendation, I ordered the Prosciutto flatbread which was delicious. I loved the pickled chillies!

Next time, I'll have try their charcuterie and cheese boards“

“Love this place! Great staff and fun atmosphere.“

“I visited the establishment to bring in the New Year and it was AMAZING!!! My first time there and I WILL be back. Our server, Hailey, was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The lights were low, people were dressed to impress. And the DJ?!!! Kept us dancing all night!! 10/10...the food left something to be desired, unfortunately 🫣“

“Sadly, the pretzel was OVERly salty.“

“Food and service amazing However : Server totally ignored me and only talked to my daughter. Also we were asked to leave when they started to get busy. Music was loud and even my twenty something old daughter thought it was awful. Those things would prevent me from going back or recommending it to anyone else“

“The drinks are excellent as is the service. It’s 5s across the board in those categories. The atmosphere is great, the music is right! I averaged a 4 because someone keeps skipping songs randomly on the sound system. This has happened 9 times so far this visit. I don’t really care what music is playing but the jarring song jumps are taking me out of the excellent experience you are creating. Curating the queue playing would be a way more seamless way to keep the vibe.“

“Love the atmosphere. Great customer service m. Good food and the coffee was out of this world. Will be coming back with friends. 1st time I have been here“

“Excellent location, with a nice vibe. Ian was a heck of a host that made me feel welcomed.“

“Fun club in Charlotte with outside areas to hang out and a cool room to see bands.“

“Hard working people who want to make Gamecock fans happy!“

“Excellent food & service. Gorgeous courtyard with jazz guitarists 2 Wednesdays a month from 7-9.“

“Been going here for LSU football watch parties this season. Lots of TVs so good view from almost any seat. Restaurant is pretty new i think. Bar is very clean, accommodating, & good Bar staff. Good food & drinks as well. I'll continue being a patron“

“This place was pretty cool. It was quiet and had free pool. Not too many people but the one's there we're obviously regulars. The people were friendly and the staff was on point with drinks. Never knew this place existed, and I grew up around that area. The location alone is worth going. This is one of them in the cut kind of of bars you have to know somebody to know about it“

“I love this place. Staff are very friendly and take fantastic care of their guests. Food is delicious and fresh every single time I go there. The atmosphere is cozy, it’s not too loud and you can enjoy the company of your friends and delicious food. Last time I visited ANJU our server David took a special good care of me and my friends. That always encourages to come back again.“

“We decided to try this place based on a recommendation & it didn’t disappoint. We had different types of phos & were very flavorful in their own way. There were many other dishes that looked appetizing & we’ll be coming back to try them. Saigon Night definitely isn’t just a karaoke bar anymore. It’s also a great place for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I wish I had discovered this place sooner so don’t miss out like I did & give this place a shot. You’re welcome in advance.“

“Great food & fun!! Highly recommend 🧡💜“

“We had lunch there today for the first time. The service was outstanding. Our server was so friendly and informative about the menu. We sat on the inside but the outdoor patio looked like a great option as well. Everything was very clean. We had the ribeye sandwich and the jalapeño popper bacon grilled cheese sandwich. They were both excellent but… That grilled cheese! If you go there, you’ve got to order that. It was out of this world good and just the right amount of spicy.“

“kitchen and bar open till 2 am“

“First I drove 2 hours to try this place one way- the food, atmosphere and staff was amazing. I have never had such great food and service for a long time. I would make the drive again, well worth the drive!!!!“

“Great place! Great staff!“

“Rachel black hair AMAZING ! so friendly so kind very inclusive very efficient and quick ! that’s my girl she don’t leave me dry and always a genuine smile on her face which is my favorite:) look for rachel the bartender ! give this girl a raise pls“

“Stopped in Sunday at 9am as we heard this was a place to watch Formula One and I was visiting my son at UNCC and we needed to good place to watch. The atmosphere was great, the local F1 fan group (where were heard about Dom's) was there and it was fun to be among other fans. The server and bartender were pleasant and very responsive and once they could legally serve me a beer, the did right after 10 am. Overall had a nice time there, exactly what we were hoping for. I hope Dom's does well.“
