“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Darts, Drinks & Personal Development”
From this week’s “Sticky Rice & Sweet Tea – After Dark Edition”

I don’t go out much. My usual nightlife consists of refrigerator light and a cozy existential crisis. But in the spirit of not regretting life on my deathbed (which feels closer every time I eat fried mushrooms), I ventured to Midtown Country Club.

And you know what? I had fun. Like, honest-to-goodness, looked-up-darts-on-Amazon-after kind of fun. Learned how to play darts with some tragically unbalanced plastic ones, and still managed to feel like an Olympic athlete in the glow of good vibes.

Shoutout to the bartender—this man is a sober cocktail sorcerer. I asked for something citrusy, low sugar, no alcohol, and he handed me a cup of mystery that tasted like a sunset on a fresh start. Give that man a bonus and a playlist deal.

The crowd? Surprisingly lovely. Diverse, relaxed, unbothered. And as someone who usually stiffens up around groups of gays I don’t know (read: trauma, shade, and past brunches), Sean’s friends were actually warm and welcoming. It reshaped some deep-seated expectations I didn’t realize I was still carrying.

All in all, 5 stars for a Tuesday night that gave me community, a tasty mocktail, and a hobby that now requires wrist coordination and a budget.

“Me and my girlfriend were regulars of Natalies when she was at Bargarita, she is one of the best bartenders in NODA, we were thrilled to find out that after the new management let her go that she found another spot in NODA (we live down the street) and at a spot after talking to her recently, she loves and feels appreciated at more than any other bar shes worked in Charlotte. The owners of this business, you made a amazing choice to take her on and im certain she wont let you guys down!!!! (Were also just happy to listen to her awesome playlists and drink her specialty cocktails again)“

“Recently there during a trip to Charlotte. My wife and I sat at the bar. The bartender was one of the worst I have ever seen. Barely paid attention to customers while chatting with his friend. Waited forever for the bill. At one point we even tried to wave him down and still wasn't paying attention. Then we went to pay, never came back to us, and he just put the change back into his tip jar without. Always a clear sign that any bartender who does that knows they are terrible and usually get tipped accordingly. At the point we were so over this place, we just left. Didn't feel like wasting any more time here. It was disappointing to say the least.“

“Mandatory destination for soccer fans. Cool old school bar in a really cool brick alley. Upstairs and downstairs are both small but not claustrophobic. Scarves on the walls and a match on tv, classic soccer bar stuff. Bartender was a good guy, great soccer conversation and some helpful local insight on other watering holes. Glad that we stopped by Courtyard Hooligans, if you are a soccer fan you will enjoy it too !“

“This pub food restaurant is located off the lobby of the Fairfield Inn. We initially planned to dine out but decided to try the Tavern instead.

They mainly serve bar food, and it's well-prepared. I wish they had more vegan options.

Our server, Tracey, was exceptional - kind, smart, and outgoing. She's truly a standout staff member here.“
