A hipster bar that isn’t too extra. Some great food on the menu and plenty of beer choices to be had. The huge back patio with bar games and sand volleyball courts make his place a great place to be.
Creative Loafing CharlotteJanuary 22, 2015Need to kill time? Play one of the games on the patio. Thirsty? There’s a wide variety of craft beer. Hungry? Potato latkes, pretzels with beer cheese, hot dogs and brats, skewered kabobs and more.

Shaneisha WNovember 2, 2014There is an outside bar with hot drinks! They. Are. AMAZING. Love the caramel apple cider and caramel hot chocolate. Everything is reasonably priced.
Emily HonJanuary 19, 2014Spicy Bloody Mary is amazing! Pizza for Breakfast with egg over medium is delicious too!
Travis BagleySeptember 1, 2014They have a really cool beer chiller strip that spans the whole bar. Put your beer on ice so it stays cold while you mingle.
peter McDevittApril 29, 2016A fun way to celebrate special events while having family and pet fun. The beer is a BONUS!
Hillisha HaygoodDecember 14, 2015The mac & cheese is amazing here! It's made with the same cheese used for the pretzels. Very delicious!
Try the Beer Cheese Nachos..and if you're brave, the Fried Jalapeños are pretty good.
I love how many obscure beers they bring in here! Head to the middle of the bar if you want to taste anything before you go in for a full pour.
LOVE THIS PLACE! Try the pretzels, enjoy the beer, and appreciate the fact that there are still places young parents can patron.- Stefano GuidolinJuly 28, 2014Best place to stop for beers and food in Charlotte! Plenty of fun games to kill some time too.
- Caitlin DohertyJuly 24, 2013Lots of corn hole, life size chess and jenga outside. Great beer in half and full liter sizes. Awesome summer place!
- Joel BonaseraNovember 20, 2015Great beer selection, plenty of space to invite friends. Pretzles are good, too.
Gets packed, but good food and beer selection. Hello hot pretzel and cheese dip!
Great beer selection. The burger was not bad either. I also enjoyed the soft pretzel, but I had better nachos.
Being a mother it bugs me when I come here and see a large amount of kids here under 13. Really? I get that it's Saturday but adults come here to let lose. Leave the kids at home.
Get anything local... You won't be disappointed. If you you opt for PBR you need to find another place to drink!
Ask for a bud light and get laughed at! My kind of place!
John ObeidOctober 7, 2019The outdoor space is nice. Lots of room, benches, games, sand volleyball court
Limited special events menu -- no wings, no pretzel bun grilled cheese :( other than that you can't go wrong with a pretzel the size of your face...
Kevin DixonJuly 6, 2014Beware of the people that don't know how to play corn hole, that try to hog the corn hole boards. Tell them to move side and watch how a pro does it...- Bar AthletesApril 17, 2012Charlotte's first beer garden, home to @Barathletes events. Come for the Cornhole, stay for the great food and atmosphere.
I had my birthday party here! they allow u to bring ur own cake in and they have daily food and drink specials $4 and under.
Steven ForsterMay 20, 2012If you plan on getting food, bring a card to run a tab. But had a great time with some really good friends.
Kari HessMarch 28, 2019Order a beer & a pretzel then head outside for a little sand volleyball action.- Kari HessJuly 11, 2018order a beer & a pretzel then head outside for a little sand volleyball action
The music is good and they have lots of different beer!
Order the pretzel and enjoy conversation at the bar or bring your doggies on the patio!
Aaron BoboApril 30, 2011Try the tri-color potato salad! Its amazingly awesome. Purple, red, and normal colored potatoes in a sauce!- Anji NussbaumerJune 26, 2011Food is amazing! Pretzels are really good and the German potato salad is amazing
Pulled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Fire!!!!!!!!!
If the bar inside is super busty, go outside and hit one of the windows for quicker service.
Order the bavik pilsner! I haven't had beer this good since Europe.
Get the Founders Breakfast Stout and I-77 IPA mixed - awesome!

"Great location for a show. Plenty of room in the venue, but get there early to snag a great view of the stage. Staff is friendly and helpful. They keep the place super clean and running smoothly."

"Great venue. Everything is laid out nicely, plenty to do before the venue opens. Very intimate setting. Will return!"
Catherine Hernandez - 8.9
"Lots to do here but super crowded during concerts. Upgraded parking areas are a plus but traffic is still an issue with a single lane leading to the area. So plan on going early and grabbing a drink!"
