Dives in Charlotte, NC

Tommy's Pub
2007 Central Ave - Charlotte, NC 28205

Cracked plastic stools and walls decorated with racing memorabilia and politically incorrect stickers is what draws you in. Good beer prices and an fun people will keep you coming back. This place has been described as similar to a home bar found in your Granddad's basement. I don't need much more incentive. However, a birdie told me Tuesday Night is vinyl night. Bring in your records and they will spin them for you!

Thirsty Beaver
1225 Central Ave - Charlotte, NC 28204

Underwear hung on horns (the animal type), Burt Reynolds posters, and velvet paintings? You can't go wrong with this place. Check out a picture here: http://charlottefive.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_1319.jpg I hear the jukebox is free, 24oz PBR's are $3 and they even have a pool table!

Special Thanks to Jon for finding the above referenced bars for me! :-)

Snug Harbor
1228 Gordon Street - Charlotte, NC

We were spending time with a friend in the Charlotte area when we passed a bar, that looked so divey I had to check it out. Like it's counterpart in New Orleans, Snug Harbor in Charlotte is a great dive with good drink specials and live music. It is eclectically decorated and has a friendly bar staff. If you are in the area you should check it out. I hear however it is the hipster hang out on weekend late nights so best visit it early.
