text: I have been going here for a solid years That makes me feel old It also makes me feel like I am finally a real Charlottean to be able to say that nnThe GoodnThis is a true neighborhood bar This is not hipster It will never be hipster Thomas St is simply T St It never changes much even with the neighborhood changing You can easily go there and see people from all different walks of life ethnicity age and income nnThe outdoor area really is the best in Charlotte I dare you to find one that is more comfortable welcoming not pretentious and with a lot of plants seriously Charlotte so many outdoor areas here are not landscaped There are games galore and plenty of seating Lots of heaters and fire pits nnThis is one of the best spots in the city to watch TV outside One of my favorite days was watching a game outside under the patio while there was a storm nThe Nachos can be really good not always the chicken fingers are highly recommended especially the honey mustard the king veggie burrito is a favorite with the vegetarians and the commonwealth roast beef is for the meat eatersnnYou can bring your dog do not walk him through the restaurant there is usually a gate open in the back Ask someone to open it if it is notnnThey still have the same crappy Christmas decorations there are always people willing to play pool it is very communal you do not own the table with your BFF at Thomas St you share the TVs are usually on mute because this is not really sports bar It is more like a neighborhood hang outnnnThe BadnT St is not consistent You might go there and have really good food The next time you go meh nnThis used to be a fun place on a Saturday night Now it is a during the week type of a place or during the day The Friday and Saturday night crowd is really annoying Think part busses from University It turns into a really awkward meat market Avoid late night on weekendnnThe service can be bad We accept this about T St In fact I am sort of happy that it has not changed Do not get me wrong there are some really good servers who have been there for years But there is also a I do not care attitude that happens Do not take it personally It is part of Thomas Streets charm and irritation nnI personally love this place but it is not for everyone nor should it be
