12 Best Dive Bars in Charlotte

“Still some of the cheapest drinks in town. Love the people the vibes the music. For a dive they're great! They have food vendors and/or food trucks. They have open mic night. Even when they get busy they still manage to keep the bathroom clean. Pool is $1.

Don't come here often but when I do I always have a blast! Fun place to pregame if ur headed to Bojangles or ovens etc

Parking: There are 2 parking lots on either side of the building, but on a busy night the parking lots can get full.“

“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.“

“very chill vibe, laid back and accepting“

“This place is the best, has it all and great food too! Our families favorite if you haven’t you have to try it.“

“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“

“Great local music. Eclectic group“

“I was in the Charlotte area visiting the day ater Hurricane Helene and a lot of restaurants had power outages but I was so hungry after a long flight looking for something tasty at 10:00 p.m. Tavern 51 had pretty good reviews and I'm glad I checked the place out because the food was delicious! The bartender was friendly and gave helpful menu recommendations. They have different sauces and dry rubs for the chicken wings. Their shrimp fried rice was fresh and tasty! Great spot to hit up when you need some late night deliciousness. A bit pricey but it was worth it to to me since the food was good.“

“great bar, great bar tenders, EXCELLENT karaoke!“

“Stopped in here last night after dinner at Cabo Fish Taco and the place seemed kinda cool. Awesome bartender last night. I didn't get his name but I remember he had a beard. Very nice very helpful. I described what kind of drink I was looking for and he fixed it right up. Really good drinks!! Shout out to the bartender with the beard and a hat!!“

“Super cool place and super sweet bartenders! Great for newbies to Charlotte!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I’ve been to many bars in Charlotte and The Brickyard is by far one of the best establishments I’ve visited. The bartenders are friendly, very attentive, and make delicious drinks. I’ve met the owner a few times and he’s very friendly. Nice guy, family man, and a veteran! I’d give this place 10 stars if I could. Get TO THE YARD as soon as possible!“

“Super fun place! Great vibes Sunday through Wednesday but if you’re looking for fun on the weekends I’d find another place to go. The Bartender who works Thursday-Saturday is short tempered and slaps customers based on who he doesn’t feel tipped enough. Management supports his behaviors as well which definitely puts a damper on how fun the bar is otherwise. Definitely stop by for a few songs during the week though! And don’t forget to tip the super amazing DJs and wonderful security!“
