13 Best Dive Bars in Charlotte

“Stumbled on this place with the my friend looking for live music.. mostly a brewery regular (which gets monotonous). What a find.. eclectic, amazing, great music, cold beer, food trucks. Very communal and don’t expect your private zone…Watch people shed their pretensions and just have fun. Leave your dress shirts / evening best at home and come to be yourself. Will be back…“

“very chill vibe, laid back and accepting“

“Great local music. Eclectic group“

“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.“

“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 is not the place to go. Been going here for years but would not recommend. Spend your money elsewhere. They increased costs for pool and decreased service and increased costs for pool, etc. rude bartenders, horrible service, would not recommend.“

“A friend and I went for our first time. We were looking for a place to shoot pool. They have one pool table. We had a awesome time. I believe we were there on a random Tuesday and stayed for a few hours. The female bartender was very nice and observant. The drinks were great and so was the atmosphere“

“This food was outstanding best Chinese combination rice I had in a long time definitely will be back, only downside for me only that they don't serve ciders but bar tender said they been getting many requests and will see if they can add it to the menu“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I went NYE and this old wheelchair bound lady had THE best time!!! The young people were respectful, fun to talk and drink with!! Bad Generation was awesome!! Since everyone bought my drinks can't really say about service, But security watched me and helped when needed to😀I will be back 😁“
