20 Best Bars near Kannapolis

“What a fantastic addition to downtown Kannapolis!!“

“Go early on a Saturday. The bartender is great and will listen to your crap. Not busy, plenty of space and great service.“

“We ordered wings and fries for take-out online. I stopped by to pick up the order and was so kindly greeted and welcomed to have a seat at the bar by the hostess, I almost did. But since it was a takeout order I just picked it up and went home. BEST WINGS, the best. We tried the Jamaican and the sweet bbq. This will definitely be where I get wings from now on and we will definitely come in to enjoy the nice atmosphere and friendly staff. You should do the same.“

“Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great in service“

“What a fun spot!! A wide variety of retro and arcade games and the pinball machines are all in fantastic working order. A mix of brand new machines and a few awesome classics. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Great cocktail menu as well.“

“I LOVE this place! A friend of mine invited me to come to trivia one night and I’ve been going ever since 🤓 They have a fabulous selection of beer, wine, cider, & THC drinks. The owners & other bartenders are all knowledgeable and super friendly. I always feel welcome and know I’ll have a great time whether I’m just getting a drink, playing trivia, or enjoying karaoke!“

“Went there with my wife last night for a few drinks. Our first time visiting but the bartenders made us feel like we were everyday regulars. The drinks were strong so I ordered the garbage can Pizza (that's a pizza with every topping they have) and it was excellent and loaded with toppings. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you're looking for a few excellent drinks and a good time.“

“Delicious food - ACP, Carne Asada (very tender) and chili con steak. All were excellent. Great service. Save room for the Xango! Best dessert ever.“

“I visited Havana Carolina with my best friends, and we left the place feeling great. The food was delicious and well prepared.“

“Great local market with a solid selection of Mexican groceries. The store is clean, well organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and they carry items you don’t always find at bigger chains. Always a good experience when I stop in—definitely recommend supporting this place.“

“I’ve been a loyal “Crabby Tuesday” customer at Full Moon in Concord for years, but the new pricing has made it tough to continue my weekly tradition. The All You Can Eat snow crab legs jumped from $69 to $90—a 30% increase—while the 1 1/2 lbs deal stayed at $45, and the 3 lbs option rose 10%, from $59 to $65. The 1 1/2 lbs deal is $30 per pound, the 3 lbs is $21.67 per pound, and the All You Can Eat (I ate 3 lbs) is $30 per pound. The less you eat, the more it costs per pound, which feels like it punishes lighter eaters. At $90, the crab legs aren’t top-of-the-line; they’re often smaller, not uniform, and harder to crack. I’d pay that if they were premium quality, but they’re not. I get that every batch can’t be perfect due to variables, but I expect more consistency at this price. With crab-stuffed oysters, my check hit $150, plus 18-20% gratuity, totaling $185-$190 after tipping. I can get a steak dinner for $100-$120 or a seafood buffet at the beach for $60 with better value—crab legs there are cracked well, even if it’s a four-hour drive. I didn’t notice the increase until the check—I didn’t check the board since I knew the old prices. That’s on me, but a social media announcement would’ve helped; I saw nothing on their page. Crystal (manager) said tariffs on imported seafood are driving the increase, but it doesn’t add up. If tariffs were the main cause, all crab specials should’ve risen by a similar percentage, not just the All You Can Eat by 30%, while the 1 1/2 lbs deal had no increase and the 3 lbs only went up 10%. Crystal and Darren (server) were the highlights—phenomenal! Crystal’s warmth and professionalism make every visit special; her smile and leadership make Full Moon feel like home. Darren was attentive, friendly, and a joy, keeping everything seamless with a fun energy. They’re outstanding, and the pricing isn’t their fault—they’re gold! The atmosphere is lively with bar-style seating, perfect for a crab feast, but pricing is impacting business—few ordered All You Can Eat this time. Friends at the Jamestown location also stopped ordering crab due to pricing. Maybe host “Crabby Tuesday” every other week? I’ll drop to once a month. 3/5 stars for great service but poor value“

“Incredible food and amazing service! Burgers were cooked to perfection, the house cut fries are super delicious, and the elote street corn dip was to die for!“

“Three Monkeys is hands down one of the best bar experiences around. Even when the place is absolutely slammed, the staff stays calm, organized, and on top of everything. You can tell they work as a team — drinks come out fast, food is hot, and nobody gets overlooked. That kind of coordination under pressure says a lot.

The specials are awesome, the music trivia and regular trivia nights are always a blast, and the whole vibe feels like Cheers — welcoming, familiar, and fun. It’s the kind of spot where you walk in and feel like you belong.

And the food? Some of the best bar food in town. The wings might honestly be the best around — perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. And the Reuben is kickass. No other way to put it.

If you want great energy, great staff, and seriously good food, Three Monkeys delivers every time“
