Fun place. I just stopped in for a beer but it has a really cool vibe

Best live music setting in town, 2 nice pool tables, ping pong, awesome outdoor covered patio and the staff dont make you wait long to get a drink. People of all walks show up and have a blast. Chad the guy that runs it is awesome too.

My all time favorite dive bar. If you love authentic dive bars with live music and down to earth bartenders, definitely visit.

Great people, reasonably priced drinks and live music. A favorite eclectic place!

Wow I'm sad I've been missing this one all these years. Very cool spot. I was the DD this time but sure hope to come back to enjoy it when I'm not! Great bartenders, awesome decor, stocked bar and really cool people.It was also clean. As old as it is, I was really surprised how clean it was.

Reasonable prices, live music, table tennis, outside swings, etc! They also have food vendors come by with typical bar food (bbq one day, hot dogs another, etc).As a musician I have a great time playing here whenever I do. Tuesday nights are an open mic night with a house band that’s also an open jam. The house band is typically a group of Charlotte veteran musicians.The inside is pretty cool, and it’s also sick that part of Talladega Nights was filmed here.

Dive bar with great live music and well-priced beer. Pool. Outdoor areas. Fun decor. Very casual.

The bar is original and it feels like home. Does not have that sterile environment that corporate bars have. Even though the place is old it is clean . Loved the atmosphere

This place is the best. Cheap drinks and friendly staff. Good music too

Best live music dive bar in the area. Tends to crank up closer to midnight.
