Typical Irish pub with authentic Irish bar tenders. Staff was friendly and accommodated all our requests. Just be prepared it was dark in there but they were open Sunday night when we needed them/
Always a great night here and the bartenders are so amazing and friendly! Love chatting with those guys!
When one thinks of an Irish bar, the general assumption is that there will be good pours, good service, and a very nice kind of "old school" ambiance. That said, Connolly's could be used as a prime example of the genre! Lots of good music played at just the right volume (most of it Gaelic), a fine selection of liquors, including The Balvenie Doublewood . The friendly bartender exhibited a wisdom beyond his years for his professional treatment of his patrons, which is a quality sadly lacking in most places today. If you want to visit an Irish bar that lends the illusion that it's St Pat's every day, this is the place... an absolute must for visitors in Charlotte... Thank You!
As much as I want to support my favorite bar Belfast, I have to say Connolly's serves the best Guinness on draft hands down in Charlotte. From the pour to the clover leaf it is exceptional done, even when it's busy af they still produce a quality pint.It is to be assumed given that it is one of the few true Irish pubs in Charlotte.My favorite thing about Connolly however is the fact that one day you can enjoy a random conversation with some guy while playing chess then the next you're dancing to club music on the weekends upstairs.It's such an experience you just have to give it a try.
Had a great time with our friends... Great drinks and a fun atmosphere.. the staff is very outgoing... Soon as you sit down it's like everyone's long lost watering hole.. we highly recommend to anyone..
One of the best Irish pubs I've been to. I've never had a bad draft Guinness there, which I can't say that's the case for other places.
Amazing place!! Favorite bar in Charlotte. They make a perfect black & tan. Atmosphere is great. Bartenders are awesome! Highly recommended!!
It’s been a good time every time at Connolly’s - especially for a packed bar which, in every other situation, is not my scene anymore. But, this is walkable from my apartment, looks just like a pub you’d see in Ireland, they know how to pour a Guinness(best we’ve had in the city), and many of the bartenders are actually Irish (which makes my partner happy when he’s here visiting from Ireland). I think I saw bags of Tayto being sold, too :)Staff have always been so nice and the patrons are fun and welcoming. We always have fun chats with friendly people every time every time we’ve been. Door guys are always really nice, too.I do wish they served food but Ri Ra is just around the corner. Come over for a pint before or after!
Came on April 7th in the evening to be greeted by the the most upbeat positive and welcoming doorman, which is very rare and appreciated. Awesome place. Will definitely visit again when in town.
From Omaha Nebraska ya'll! Fantastic and affordable Irish Pub in the middle of UPTOWN Charlotte! Check em out! Finally living out my dream of wearing my Starter Charlotte Hornets bomber in grade school! Lol
