“I think the word “cafe” is confusing. It’s a watering hole with great atmosphere and attitude.
A food truck came and provided great food.
I was welcomed by multiple people not just the bartender! I felt like a member right away. Next time I won’t wear my dress shirt and have jeans and a Tshirt.“

“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.“

“Ample TV’s to watch the game, great service and good food! What more could you want from a dive bar? One pool table up front, plenty of bar space and high top tables. Space was very clean and nicer than most other dive bars. They had cheap food specials running during the game too.“

“Please make Marcus a bartender. I spoke with him very briefly and he gave me a tour of the outside patio and the upstairs area. He noticed me sitting at the bar and decided to stop me and show me the other areas I had access to. This type of customer service should not be wasted on Janitorial Services. He should be in a position to provide this type of service to everyone. He needs a bigger role. He changed my entire experience. Thanks Marcus. I will be coming back because of you and your customer service.“

Jeff's Bucket Shop Bar • $

“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!“
