it’s a modern-constructed dive bar, so it lacks any authenticity, but it’s also a gansett and a shot and who gives a ?!
Narragansett and a shot of goldschlager for 9 bucks, who can argue against that? Bartenders are nice and attentive, and if the weather is nice enough, the outdoor seating area is a great spot to enjoy the food you got somewhere else. They do have uncrustables if you arrive unprepared, though.
Solid place for a shot and beer. Don’t expect food, or any illusions of pretentiousness.

The Ugly is a charming dive bar located next to the light rail. It offers a lively atmosphere with friendly and chill bartenders and unique decor that includes old-time bar mirrors. The bar embraces its "ugly" reputation, providing a budget-friendly watering hole with cheap drinks. Customers can enjoy a $2 Narragansett, which is noted as the best deal in Charlotte, or a Narragansett and a shot of goldschlager for $9. Beers are $2–$3 a piece, making it an affordable option compared to many nearby bars. The bar does not serve food, but uncrustables are available if you arrive unprepared. Inside, the cozy space has large circular booths that can accommodate groups, creating a comfortable spot to relax with friends or chat with locals. When the weather is nice, the outdoor seating area is a great spot. This is not a cocktail bar, so for fancy drinks, go next door. Overall, The Ugly delivers on its promise of a great bar experience, perfect for a pregame or a late-night drink.
