You rock Sammy !!!!

Walked in to a completely packed bar because of a concert that evening, but quickly noticed how fast and efficient the bartender was. She was handling every person at the bar faster than most people can think ! Clearly she knew what she was doing! We managed to grab two seats at the bar as people began to leave for the concert and within an hour or so, we were the only two there (for a few minutes) which gave us a chance to talk to the bartender more. Her name was Sammy and she was super cool! My wife also bartends and we stayed and talked to her for a while. The food was good, the vibe was cool, and Sammy is an asset that Mortimer's better hold onto tight ! We had a great time ! We highly recommend stopping by here !

After Duke Louisville game in spectrum  Me and my wonderful wife

Oh it was a few Saturday nights ago after Duke game in spectrum. This place is right in front of former epicenter. Don't let the small size of place fool you. Reasonable price cocktails and friendly service friendly bartenders. We definitely going back !

This is about the only plane In City center right now. The bartender was great. Sat at the bar, and had a great time chatting with locals. The Cheerwine cocktail- was dangerously delicious! Philly nachos!!

Wonderful pub! Full bar and live music! Awesome bartenders. Really enjoyed it here. Sat at the bar and enjoyed great company.

Salad with everything
Risto K.

Came to Mortimer's for a quick bite to eat and felt the Cafe part was missing while the Pub part was spot on. Menu is pretty extensive but besides greasy bar food all other options are slim! I was trying to do low carb option and decided on salad! Asked about carb content of salad dressings and was told by the waitress to google it as she had no time to check or ask. If that will not get you irritated, perhaps plastic silverware will. Overall-not worth having a meal at Mortimer's unless you are drunk!

Our group lunch!!
Stef S.

Mortimer's went above and beyond when I reached out to them about a large party lunch this past week. From allowing us to pre order, to having food ready upon arrival, to having the best attitude and the food being delicious, it was a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend!!!!

Hall of Fame Philly Sandwich

The only thing that sucked is the fact I don't live in Charlotte. If I lived here, this spot would be a favorite. The bartenders were great and I loved my sidecar. We had the fried macaroni and cheese and they were sooooo tasty. I wanted to order another batch. I had the chicken club wrap and my husband had the hall of phone philly. I loved my food and he loved his. Great job guys! I highly recommend this place.

My friend and I took lunch from a convention we were at across the street at the Ritz. Pretty tasty lunch and beer, nice service, and off we went. We had only gone a short distance before noticing smoke in the street and come to find out, there's a fire in the hotel! So as the building (and all of our conference mates) were evacuated and replaced with fire fighters turned out for a high rise rescue operation, we realized we would not be returning to work real soon... so back to Mortimers! Upon our return to Mortimers, we continued to enjoy beverages and friendly conversation, until we learned there had been a shooting right outside! Now the shooter did not get caught and the police were treating it like an "active shooter" situation, and we became locked inside Mortimers. Imagine how upset we were at being locked inside a bar with some nice folks on a workday while our place of business for the day burned.... I'm telling ya we came up aces!

Stopped by here before an event at the spectrum center, was promptly greeted and seated. The place wasn't too busy and we had our drink order taken shortly after being seated. We placed our food order and it came out correctly and in a reasonable amount of time. I had the Cuban sandwich, I forget the actual sandwich name, but that's what it was. I enjoyed my sandwich and would definitely go back again to try something else, as they have a great menu. Their sanitation grade was 98 at the time of my visit.

Real talk, the best espresso martini I've ever had. Giddy Goat I think it was called here…read more.. Solid selection of spirits and beers/cider. I like that they had Magner's on draft, and of course no Irish pub is complete without a Guinness. Good selection of food, but we went with a bunch of starters- sliders, chips, sausage roll, and fried pickle okra. Okra was a favorite. The slider was delicious!! Chips were good, though they were thick-cut potatoes like wedges, so I wish they could've been a bit crispier. I wasn't a fan of the sausage roll, but my friend liked it. Great service, we were checked on frequently. It's a loud spot in the later hours, but that martini was so good I made my friend go back the next night to get another.

The restaurant looked like an Irish pub inside and had live Irish pub music. We sat at a booth, but…read morethe bar top looked fun. We ordered the Honey Badger cocktail, sausage rolls, shepherd's pie, and purple potato gnocchi. The honey badger cocktail was pretty sweet, and although I usually like sweet drinks, this one wasn't well balanced. My favorites were the sausage rolls and shepherd's pie! Perfect savory flavors. The Shepherd's pie had the perfect ratios of ingredients and a nice jus which didn't make the whole dish soggy. The sausage rolls were soft and flavorful with a perfect flaky/buttery roll which was great with the stone ground mustard. The side salad which came with the shepherd's pie was not my favorite. The gnocchi was okay. It was a bit too sweet and overwhelmed by the bell pepper flavor. I wouldn't order it again. The baguette and butter with it was very good as well as the presentation though.

Valhalla Pub and Eatery is a nice neighborhood pub with an appealing menu and a full bar…read more Unfortunately, for nearly every positive aspect of our visit, there seemed to be a frustrating inconsistency in how the pub was operated. A couple of friends and I decided to attend a Charlotte FC watch party during the team's match against FC Dallas, which was being played just down the street at Bank of America Stadium. Valhalla promotes itself as a soccer bar and a destination for Charlotte FC watch parties. However, that commitment seemed to take a back seat when other sporting events were on television. If you're going to promote yourself as a Charlotte FC watch-party destination, particularly through the team's website, you should be prepared to accommodate fans who come specifically to watch the match. I arrived about half an hour before my friends and waited at the bar. The bartender was very pleasant and worked hard, assisted by another staff member. When my friends arrived, we found a table directly in front of the largest television in the downstairs dining area. College football games were playing on all the televisions, and a Notre Dame watch party was taking place upstairs. Before ordering, we asked our waiter whether he could put the Charlotte FC match on the television nearest our table. He agreed. However, when the match began, it appeared on two smaller televisions some distance from us instead. We were happy to let the Maryland football game finish on the large television. But when that game ended, the pub switched it to the White Sox-Guardians playoff game rather than the Charlotte FC match. We did our best to watch the soccer match from our table. During the second half, the Charlotte FC match finally appeared on the large television in front of us. We were delighted! Other soccer fans even moved to nearby seats to get a better view. Then, unexpectedly, our original waiter approached and said that fans were going to "kill him" if he didn't switch the television back to baseball. I didn't notice anyone nearby watching the baseball game, so I pleaded with him to leave the soccer match on. Fortunately, he did! What puzzled me was that the baseball game wasn't subsequently shown on any of the other televisions, including those that were already showing the soccer match. It left me wondering why there had been such resistance to accommodating the Charlotte FC fans in the first place. The staff operates as a team rather than assigning one server exclusively to each table. Some employees were outstanding, particularly the bartender. Others, unfortunately, were less accommodating, and the inconsistent communication about the televisions detracted from our experience. About the food! We shared Odin's Pretzel Bites, pillowy pretzel bites with garlic and Parmesan cheese. They were enjoyable! Like me, one of my friends ordered Lodbrok's Lamb Burger. I really enjoyed mine, although my friend thought his was just okay. Our other friend ordered wings and said they were good. A couple of things to know before visiting! The restaurant automatically adds a 20% gratuity on special-event days. There is also a 3% surcharge for credit-card payments. I recommend checking your bill carefully so you're aware of these additional charges. Finally, Valhalla is located in Uptown Charlotte, so be prepared to pay for parking. Overall, Valhalla has some real positives: a pleasant pub atmosphere, enjoyable food, and several hardworking employees. However, our experience was disappointing because we specifically came to watch Charlotte FC at a pub that advertises itself as a soccer destination. Better communication and a more consistent commitment to its advertised watch parties would have made a considerable difference.

It's hard to describe quite how special this place is; for all the features and fun things to do, the venue has an effortless vibe and the drinks have the best prices you can find in the city. Don't let that fool you; just about everyone on the bar staff has extensive experience as trained cocktail bartenders, and the top shelf is nothing to scoff at. There are also regular karaoke nights, movie events, and a steady rotation of absolutely amazing food tents and trucks coming through in the parking lot.

The bar is divey, and you can find very cheap drinks, especially if you go for the daily specials. The bartenders are nice - beware that they do keep your card if you keep your tab open - and seem to know the regulars. In addition to monthly bingo, they seem to host drag events, have video games and board games available to play, as well as several TVs. Plus, dogs can go inside and out. The bar does not serve food, though usually there is a vendor there. Looking forward to next month!
