The Brickyard

Bouncer threw my buddy on the ground as we were leaving. He went to the hospital. He was drinking but not making a problem.

This is the best bar! They have darts and the staff are very efficient and kind. The bouncers keep people safe and the bathrooms are cleaner than most South End bars. My friends and I have made some great memories here!

Typical sports bar honestly. Nothing fancy.
They had a DJ that frankly was just too much for the atmosphere.

Wings were just ok, not crispy or saucy. I ordered hot and they were mild/medium at best.

Parking was an absolute joke.

This place is fun. It’s exactly what you need in a highly populated area. No stuffiness, come as you are, type atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming! And they still do live music, not just typical DJ’s. There is no kitchen, so don’t come hungry, but if you are, there’s plenty options around AND they let you bring food in. Did I mention how great the staff was? The bartenders were energetic and engaging. I love this bar! Great job!

If you give the brickyard a bad review, your expectation was off the mark. Come get some PIE.ZAA after you get your drink on at the brickyard! Support local!

Whoever was hired to DJ this passed saturday- gave me everythinggggggggg. This was my favorite bar at the bar crawl!! my friends and i kept coming back because the other bars were lame. We ended the night here. The bartenders was TAKING IT HONEY!!! 10/10
no food but they got food around them.

BATHROOM SO CLEAN I WAS IN THERE FOR 45 MINS DANCING WITH RANDOM GIRLS

Great staff and great environment.

My friend had a horrible experience here. She stepped near the door to wave my friend over because she was alone inside, she had a cigarette in the other hand extended into the patio. A bouncer immediately started cursing at her, then grabbed and pushed her backwards with his hands on her arms and chest. She told him repeatedly not to touch her and that she wasn’t going inside, she even dropped the cigarette but he ignored her said he didn’t care and that she needed to leave. Another security guard joined him, and both of them continued to grab and push her all the way past the gate. Even after she asked if they could check on her friend, they refused. She was completely violated and unsafe. There was absolutely no reason for two grown men to be so aggressive and physical toward her.

This space is a waste is of money. The bouncers are a pathetic joke who think they’re doing their part but are really ruining the nights of people attending. The bald gentleman with glasses doesn’t deserve to see another job the rest of his life. Pathetic service:

Was there tonight and I bought a man a beer who was standing at the counter between the inside and outside of the bar. The bouncer told him he couldn’t drink the beer on the outside and had to come inside to drink it. So he did and my husband and I were having a great conversation with him when a bouncer came to our table and told him he had to leave. We were having a great conversation about his life in Italy and he was talking about his veteran benefits etc. obviously he was homeless but was very well educated and we were really enjoying our conversation. Supposedly the manager from The Gin Mill, who was talking to my daughter’s friend, told the staff this guy was a threat because he left The Gin Mill recently with an opened tab. The scene quickly turned bad and we were forced out of the establishment simply bc I bought a needy person a drink. WE WILL NEVER GO TO THE BRICKYARD OR THE GINMILL ever again!!!’ Once was enough!!!!! HORRIBLE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT DO NOT REPRESENT CHARLOTTE WELL!!!!!!! There are many more bats that are more classy and fun than these two bars!!!!

Solid spot.

Bathrooms stalls were missing doors & disgusting. The drinks taste like their bathrooms look 🤢
