“Do not sleep on Center Ice Tavern, IT! Great place for food and drinks! They serve the coldest beer in town, and make delicious cocktails. Their food is good (typical pub fare, with some extras!). Great place to watch sports, as they have TVs everywhere. Just check out this delicious BLT! They have an arcade that kiddos can play in for dirt cheap right next to the tavern, which makes for a wonderful family night out!Kid-friendliness: My 7 year loves the arcade and watching people play hockey!“
“We celebrated my mother in law's birthday this evening. Nick, the manager, was very accommodating when we needed to add more people to the reservation. We had a nice table outside on the patio. Our server Amani was wonderful! She was very attentive, competent, patient, and kind! She made sure all of our allergies were taken into consideration. Thank you Amani for helping to make our celebration special!“
“Well above my expectations! I was actually on my way to another Brazilian steakhouse and then this popped up on my Marriott bonvoy app. The concept same kind of cool with a Brazilian style sports bar so I decided to check it out. The plate that I had was really good and they have 34 Oz size beers available. Very lively when I walked in as there was a band playing which I found surprising for that time of day as it was only about 5:00 p.m. they were towards the end of their set so they had to have gotten there earlier. Guy behind the bar did take care of me but seem to be preoccupied with other things going on. Wasn't a big deal but I did have to wait a little to pay my tab and order my food. It was worth the wait though and is somewhere I will be back again!“

“I love the Buffalo Chicken sandwich here, always seasoned to perfection and so juicy with a hint of spicy. Not overbearing or have you sweating from your meal. I added (pickles, bacon and permento cheese) to it. I can honestly say this been the best buffalo chicken sandwich IMO??? My fries were a bit salty and I’ll make sure to not have any?? The atmosphere is typical bar/grub spot, tucked in a nice little plaza area. If in the area check them out, nothing fancy shmancy? Good ol bar-ish grub, but a small town vibe to it!“
“I went there with my husband before a checkers game. I play pool competitively and wanted to see what this establishment had to offer. Coin operated 7ft tables. I believe it was $1.50 per game. Met some regulars that were friendly. Tables looked decent. I ordered a Cobb salad. Wasn't what I thought it would be. It was ground chicken instead of a filet of chicken. It still was good just different from the norm. Service was good as it was roughly 430pm. I would like to see it when it's busy to have a more accurate review. I would still go back when I'm on that side of town.“
“What a lucky find!! This pub is a great place to grab a meal, have a meeting, and enjoy the environment. The seating is spacious and the staff are very attentive. I had a plentiful meal for lunch and with all the selections, I’m sure I’ll be back to try other selections. There is indoor and outdoor seating and they are right in the heart of downtown Matthews so you can definitely make an afternoon of all that is close by. They have monthly specials so be sure to put this on your list!“
“The Bill Hanna Legacy Jazz Session is every Monday night at 7:30pm. Bill Hanna was a legend in Charlotte. He was the godfather of Jazz. keeping his legacy alive and continuing The Double Door jazz and blues music tradition by inviting musicians to join into the jam. They help teach new inspiring artist the skills and confidence to play.Great job!!“
“Everyone welcome like family. I grew up in Charlotte. Spoons had the best burgers, The Penquin had great burgers too. Well, I had a cheeseburger last week at The Small Bar. It was absolutely the best burger I've ever had! Service was great. Bar selections were awesome. Front door parking.“
“The food is spot-on! I love their wing night! The atmosphere is clean and inviting. The waitstaff is top-notch. Also, Tammy, the Director of Beverage is world class! She puts on incredible events, which makes it more of a "Cheers" community feel (a club you want to be a part of)!“
“Ashley was our server and she did amazing. It was semi busy, but she was always attentive. Lovely personality and very hospitable. Love this gaff, will definitely be coming back. They serve sycamore, it’s the best. Thanks Ashley, great job. Get that gal a pay rise.“
“Definitely a great atmosphere food is great and bartenders & servers are super friendly. Laurel, Eryka, Nikki & Sammie are phenomenal at making sitting around the bar a fun experience.If your coming to dine in Ask for Ariana and she will take great care of you :)“
“A good time - YESGood customer service - YESFamily owned and also treats you like family - YESI went on a Friday night which was Karaoke night. The drinks were flowing and some good singing was being done. They also have hookah. I will totally return the next time I'm in the Charlotte/Monroe area.“
“There's some stuff on the menu that is great, some stuff not so much. Not a huge fan of their wings or pizza. On the other hand, they make excellent burgers and sandwiches. Service is impeccable and the bar is a throwback. Definitely worth visiting.“
“Saint Pat's day was a moment. To see all the staff celebrating the holiday was exciting. Our waitress was so helpful in helping us choose our meal. Her little self was so friendly. The bathroom was clean, and you don't see that often at other restaurants. Now I have to honestly say the Mamosa was just Orange juice. But we didn't complain due to the good service we had overall.“
“If you haven't been by LakeView lately you need to go this weekend! The dining room and food presentation has transformed. They still carry family friendly dishes but have also added several very creative and delicious options. The Dublin Steak is great and the pork belly sandwich does not disappoint. The wings are great and I recommend the Chesapeake rubbed wings. Last night we also tried the crab cakes which are also a great dish. We also tried the Fish and Chips - done really well , light and crispy and not oily. Service are good and they were cleaning and wearing masks and were very cautious to people safe. Five Stars“
“Best grill/bar in CLT! Burgers and topping options are fantastic as well as the wraps. Service is fantastic and that seems hard to find these days! Owner personally came over to us to check on our food, which was delicious. Couldn’t ask for anything else from a place like this, highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t!!“
“I've been coming here since day one .this is my go to spot always great service the bartenders are on point Jeff, and I think her name is Jess I may be wrong but she is fantastic the owner is always there I respect that do yourself a favor and get the seafood boil in a bucket or the skins wings ,burgers you can't go “
“Fun place to grab a drink and play some pool. Despite being raised in the South, I don't usually like "country" bars but this one was certainly an exception. Bonus: they have a (really hot) fireplace outside and friendly customers all around. Will be returning.“
“Stopped in for a quick, late lunch while waiting for my grandson to be born at the hospital down the road. Got pork rinds and wings and shared them with my daughter. We were both pleasantly pleased with the food, the waitress and the atmosphere! I'll definitely be back when I come back through Monroe. Check them out!“
“First time here since it used to be Jimmies restaurant several years back. The booth layout is similar except for the large bar in the back. It’s pretty noisy with many TVs. I strained to hear part of the time and had to step outside for a phone call to be heard. Not my favorite kind of atmosphere for lunch.We got a large pizza with white sauce half Buffalo chicken ranch and the other half Philly cheesesteak flavor. The cheese was fabulously delicious and the size was generous. Large pizza was $24.The server was adorable prompt and polite. We appreciated her kindness and attention so much.The older I get the less I like loud places. My son didn’t seem to mind but got distracted by the TVs quite a bit.“
“I love Carolina Ale House, always a favorite stop of mine when I'm in town. Today I got the breaded honey Buffalo wings and fries as usual, but the wings were off today, the wings were way too overcooked. Coming from the food service industry, it looks like they accidently ordered smalls and cooked them as long as they would the mediums. It's been a few months since I've been here, but hopefully they get the bigger wings back in.Kid-friendliness: My kids love to eat at the Carolina Ale House.“
“Dang ngl it’s a pretty good place. I did lose a dollar in the claw machine… I just wanted a rubber ducky, I sacrificed my dollar but it’s death meant nothing, oh god… OH GOD WHY?!?! Why did I use it on a claw machine?! It probably wanted a life in an ATM machine but I screwed that up. What kind of friend am I?! I had the dollar in my wallet for like 6 months, we were basically childhood friends and I use it on a CLAW MACHINE! AHHHHH! God… why… anyway yeah pretty good place. ?“
