50 Best Bars near Pineville

“(This is Tim Burgess - Marlene's Husband).I was visiting NC from Arizona, last week. I was looking for a locally owned craft beer bar/bottle shop with great reviews while in town. I found the perfect place. I went in there twice last week and was greeted both times by Kit- The Owner. He made me feel very welcome. We talked about how important great service is and how he really makes a great effort to take care of his customers. I went there twice whilst in town. The atmosphere is very welcoming. I chatted with several patrons at Kit's and everyone was very very friendly. They have a great selection of bottles, cans, and beers on tap. (I bought several beers to carry out.) They also have a plethora of wines to choose from (though I did not partake).If I lived in the Charlotte area, I would definitely be a regular here. Thank you for a great time! I'll certainly be back some day. Cheers! -Tim“

“Just amazing and well managed.“

“Stopped in Monday Night for their 1/2 Price Burger Night! Burgers tasted like they were cooked on the grill in the yard! They were juicy and delicious! Waitress was on point! The Garden Room has great atmosphere! I highly recommend. I will be back!“

“super friendly crowd and bartenders! Its like cheers, they remember your name.“

“I don't see how this place is still open. They don't even deserve 1 STAR.“

“Ordered there steak tortas and they are fabulous!! Everything is so good!! It really needs more attention to their tender steak , chicken and shrimp which has been always perfect ! Yum!!“

“Five stars for Jillian! We visited the rooftop bar and she absolutely made our evening. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever hovering. Her cocktail recommendations were spot-on — she clearly knows the menu inside and out — and she timed everything perfectly, even as the bar filled up. It’s rare to get service that feels this effortless and personal at a busy spot. Jillian is a true professional and a huge asset to this place. We’ll be back, and we’ll be asking for her section.“

“Love Para! Great staff and Menu!!“

“Food and service amazing However : Server totally ignored me and only talked to my daughter. Also we were asked to leave when they started to get busy. Music was loud and even my twenty something old daughter thought it was awful. Those things would prevent me from going back or recommending it to anyone else“

“Tyler took care of us. My Celiac situation was handled with attention. The food came out fast and hot, and my husband and granddaughter loved the Keylime pie. Very much recommended and we will certainly go back.“

“This is a first class joint! I love to come to here to have a great time. It is clean and everyone is super respectful ! Drinks are excellent .“

“Quick lunch bite… Friendly and attentive bartender… Great environment… Might just end up back there tonight.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Catalina Kitchen + Bar in Charlotte delivered an incredible happy hour tonight. The specials did not disappoint. The crispy Brussels sprouts were a standout with a huge serving and layers of flavor that kept getting better with every bite. The giant heap of Parmesan fries was exactly that… a mountain of hot bistro fries with rich parmesan and truffle aioli. Easily enough for the table. The roasted beets came in a smaller, more delicate portion but were packed with flavor and felt really thoughtfully prepared. The California deviled eggs were beautifully presented and came as two, just right for a quick bite. The atmosphere was lively with an earthy feel and an open view of the kitchen that added to the experience. The staff was amazing from start to finish. Overall an excellent visit and absolutely worth stopping by, especially during happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 pm!“

“We visited Charlotte for the Nascar Roval race and we were lucky enough to find this bar. We flew over from Dublin, and believe me Dublin has some good bars however this was one of the top bars I ever visited. Great value beer, full of friendly folk, great music and brilliant atmosphere. You guys from Charlotte are blessed to have this bar and a great backstory.“

“10/10, highly recommend. I’m so happy Rock Hill finally has something different besides the usual options. The diversity is long overdue and very much needed.

For anyone saying the food is “bland,” it honestly just sounds like they’re not familiar with this type of cuisine. Not everything is meant to taste like the same dishes people are used to—this is a different style of cooking with its own flavors, and it’s really good.

And about the prices—this is pretty standard. If anything, it just reflects how expensive everything is getting overall. It’s not out of the ordinary, just different from what some people might be used to.

I love that something new and different has finally opened here. Definitely worth trying!“

“Love the Ginger Ale I bought at Publix in Alabama!“

“Excellent food & service. Gorgeous courtyard with jazz guitarists 2 Wednesdays a month from 7-9.“

“We needed a Gluten Free option and the usuals are getting old! The Steak sandwich on a GF bun was delicious! It fit the bill perfectly for what we were seeking. The Parmesan potato’s pancake was cooked to perfection. The only adjustments I would make was (when the steak was after the server asked and the steak was ordered medium, that it should have at least some pink), but it was tender and flavorful. The multi-server thing got confusing. One person took drink order, another delivered (1 was incorrect), another ran the food and we were not told of the multi-layered service). Everyone was nice, it was just a little confusing and no one ever asked about drink refills and when the coffee cup was empty there was no one around for a long time. But… we still like the food, prices, atmosphere, options, and consistency.“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere, menu, drinks and most of all great staff. I stopped in last week to pick up gift cards for the holiday and they were having an issue with the system. The manger explained the situation and offered alternatives. I chose to come back this week to purchase the cards and the manager remembered me and thanked me for returning as did the bartender. If you’ve never been, give it a try. I can almost guarantee you’ll return too.“

“We hosted our book club social here tonight and had an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. The Craft 75 was absolutely delicious and definitely a highlight of the night. Everyone in our group had a wonderful time, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!“

“We stopped for dinner with 4 young kids after traveling in the car all day. They were fantastic and accommodating even though most people wouldn't bring their kids! The food was phenomenal and prices were great. Thank you for a great experience!“

“My wife took me here for a surprise birthday gift. Everything from the atmosphere to the cocktails, service, and food was top notch. Our first visit but certainly not our last.“

“This place is back! The food and service Was Michelin star quality ! It’s a must try . #yum“

“amazing experience food amazing and the service exceptional!!“

“Absolutely awesome place, possibly the best nachos in ballantyne if not all of Charlotte. Also, it is one of the best places to watch the Commanders. Great atmosphere, awesome specials…..Go Commanders!“

“Incredibly fun experience and delicious food! We will be coming back in the future! The crispy pork belly is out of this world!!!“

“My wife and I stopped here Friday night before dinner at a nearby restaurant. Friday and Saturday nights get very crowded but we were fortunate to grab 2 seats at the bar which is rather small. They specialize in MANY types of wine, craft beers and sangria. I’m had the Gailic Ale and an Oktoberfest, my wife had the red sangria. The atmosphere is that of a boutique book shop/winery. They offer a small selection of small bites that looked delicious. Very cool place . Prices were fair and we look forward to going back.“

“Sadly, the pretzel was OVERly salty.“

“The food was excellent. I ordered a hot honey type chicken slider that I would return for. My wife got a Philly cheesesteak I believe. Great flavor. Atmosphere and location is great. We had drinks at a local bar then walked her for a nice meal. Would return.“

“Full disclosure, I have not been here yet, however with David running the show over there I'm sure he's crushing it like everywhere he goes, I was fortunate to be his boss at Whiskey Tango years ago. One of the best bartenders I have worked with ( in all my years and that's a lot) With David though, as a bartender you're never really his boss, not that he doesn't listen he just really doesnt need direction. IHes that good. Keep on rocking it there sir.“

“Love the 80s arcade games …MTV generation playground!!! Great cocktails!“

“Why are there not more spots like this in Charlotte?!Franks truly encapsulates “local” and I wish more places could capture that feel.

We came for the Metzgers bagels and stayed for the coffee and vibe. Such an enjoyable experience watching the revolving door of neighbors coming in. Everyone was treated as if they knew them for a long time. Big energy and lots of dogs. Left saying I wish we had something like this in our neighborhood.“

“This place is not the place to go. Been going here for years but would not recommend. Spend your money elsewhere. They increased costs for pool and decreased service and increased costs for pool, etc. rude bartenders, horrible service, would not recommend.“

“Love the atmosphere. Great customer service m. Good food and the coffee was out of this world. Will be coming back with friends. 1st time I have been here“

“The service and most of the food was amazing last Saturday night. My brother had the Wagu steak it had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. The only problem was it was chewy and the fat seemed like it did not break down. Our server was amazing and said that she would get a manager. 20 minutes later the manager came over with an attitude. We explained the situation and he seemed not to care. Said every once in a while that even the best meat could be off. He did nothing to fix it and walked off like we wasted his time. Very disappointed in the manager’s lack of interest. Very satisfied and happy with our server.“

“Great view, comfortable, polite bar tenders. Great drinks“

“Fun club in Charlotte with outside areas to hang out and a cool room to see bands.“

“Great place to grab a beer and a bite before a show at Knight Theater. Same menu as QCBC next door. Quick service, good vibe.“

“Just amazing and well managed.“

“Great experience with a good vibe“

“The best place to grab a bite to eat and sit outside with your dog!“

“we had a retirement celebration at Harry's. Highly recommend. Everything was excellent. Thank you Harry's for making the celebration a success.“

“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.“

“Love this place! Great staff and fun atmosphere.“

“Dram and Drought never disappoint!! A cool little bar to step in after work for inexpensive drinks. I love their selection of drinks and their nightly specials. It doesn’t matter which night I visit, the staff are always welcoming! Cheers!“

“Hard working people who want to make Gamecock fans happy!“

“A friend and I went for our first time. We were looking for a place to shoot pool. They have one pool table. We had a awesome time. I believe we were there on a random Tuesday and stayed for a few hours. The female bartender was very nice and observant. The drinks were great and so was the atmosphere“

“everything recommend review unnecessary!“

“Yesterday I organized a dinner for my family, food was very delicious and tasty. My all family told me that their staff was very professional and kind. Highly Recomended💯“
