24 Best Bars near Mount Holly

“What an awesome bottle shop! This is a tap room/bottle shop with a food truck and tables nestled in an adorable outdoor sitting area out back. We started indoors with just one beer and then headed to the back for food and more beer. I will caution you though, if you want to remember this adorable place in downtown Mt.Holly NC, don’t go to Muddy River Distillery first. As a weakling who can’t handle her drinks, I destroyed my opportunity to brag about how great this food truck is due to the fact that I had three drinks over the course of 4 hours prior to visiting and therefore cannot remember what I ordered. I have it on good authority that the food was fantastic, as described by my DD and the others in my group. Apparently I loved the beer and food and left no crumb or drop unturned. Next time I visit it will be to shop more in this so cute it hurts little town and explore the area as well as to actually remember my experience. Head across the street to the Catalyst Mercantile for some pricey but worth it unique gifts. Dear travelers and Charlotte residents, go hang in Mt. Holly for a fun-filled Saturday! They have all the preciousness of a cute little town that you’ve been looking for without the long drive to Boone or Blowing Rock.“

“Love the atmosphere and the new ownership l no longer drink or smoke anymore for health reasons but l send as many folks as l can. Love seeing friends and classmates who have found their way to this jewel in Mt. Holly. Much success in the future.“

“Our first visit was today. The food was amazing and the Manager that was working the afternoon was amazing. The Manager stepped up and came our waitress she filled our drinks and brought our bill. Our Waitress we had was horrible she never once refilled our drinks. She only took our order and delivered it to us. We did leave a tip which should go to the Manager. We will visit again just hope we have a different waitress.“

“The food, drinks and ambiance are SO good! Such a cool and unique spot in Charlotte. We loved everything we ordered. Our server was very kind, personable and knowledgeable. Service was a little slow, but it seems they are just short staffed…not enough to ruin the experience, just something to be aware of and plan for. Will definitely be back!“

“Very unique place. Highly recommend.“

“Food is phenomenal. I recommend any of their fresh made pastas. Truly authentic dishes made from scratch. The bread and desserts are also wonderful. The service has been excellent every time we've been. Beautiful restaurant with charming ambiance.“

“Been going here for LSU football watch parties this season. Lots of TVs so good view from almost any seat. Restaurant is pretty new i think. Bar is very clean, accommodating, & good Bar staff. Good food & drinks as well. I'll continue being a patron“

“Ample TV’s to watch the game, great service and good food! What more could you want from a dive bar? One pool table up front, plenty of bar space and high top tables. Space was very clean and nicer than most other dive bars. They had cheap food specials running during the game too.“

“Great dive bar, great bartender, Marg!! Great hidden outdoor space!“

“Great place to chill and play pool. No food service, but they don't say no if you want to have something to eat from a restaurant while you drink and play pool.
They do have a poil league and run tournaments. Would like to see a karaoke, band, bingo and maybe a Canvas with Cocktails night.“

“Definitely the best experience for celebrating my family members 40th bday. Ladies came out popping bottles and everything else. The hospitality was incredible and LOUIE LOU was on top of everything. He stayed checking in on our party, gave us complementary wrist bands for our dancers, and even popped the confetti bottle. Thank you Club Onyx for not disappointing!!“

“Review for George at Red Star Lounge
George is amazing! He was so friendly, easy to talk to, and patiently listened to my long layover complaints without missing a beat. He’s truly a star employee and mentioned he’s been here for over 10 years — it shows in his exceptional service! You can count on me to stop by anytime I’m at the Charlotte airport.“

“Great Experience whenever I visit.“

“A wonderful experience indeed. "UPTOWN MINIBAR" has a full bar with variety of spirits in each preference. Prices are very fair for an airport!Food: Ordered Bacon, Cheddar, & Chicken Sandwich with crispy fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a delicious seasoning & toppings were plentiful.Cocktail: Blueberry Pomegranate Margarita with a house reposado (AMAZING ??) - perfect balance of flavors & pours were consistent! The bartenders were very friendly, personable, & knowledge.Atmosphere: The music was island vibes - hence my stress disappeared once I say down! Both bartenders we're on top of keeping the bar clean & organized (my OCD was very thankful! ??).“

“Great neighborhood pub ran by people who care about their customers and treat them.like family. We have met lots of new friend in just a couple visits. Owner/Operators Tim & Connie and their son Archie run a great place and go above and beyond. Great selection of liquors as well as bottled beers and ciders, and four beer on tap. No wine here as Belmont (or Gaston County) require different licensing. Lots of live music on weekends and loads of special events and even impromptu potluck meals. Also plenty of outdoor seating out back. Open Wednesday through Sunday...Late on Friday and Saturday. Come on by and say hello.“

“This is THE place in Belmont for an afternoon hang or summer dinner + beer! The food is amazing! Don't miss the sliders. The beer options change out to allow for a good rotation of local selections (not awesome, but always solid). The patio is an ideal space for a summer hang for lazy days overlooking the park or entertaining summer nights in the heart of Main Street listening to the music of Belmont's Friday Night Live events. But by far, the best part about Cornerstone is the service! Everyone from the bartenders, to the wait staff, to the bar back, is customer focused. Possibly the best service on the strip! You will not have a bad experience here!!“

“Great service from Cynthia! Fantastic Chicken & Burger Sandwiches & Beer...worth any waiting as it was Delicious!!!“

“Incredible food, ambiance and service. Our waitress, Ashley, was outstanding. This sweet young lady was bubbly, outgoing and attentive. We couldn't have asked for a better evening out.“

“Best Classic Smash Burger of all time!!!!! Service was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“

“My hamburger steak was so delicious. Hubby got the sliders. Yummy! If you like pork skins, I recommend Whiskey Mills. They were phenomenal!!! Great food, great service!!!“
