    a bar filled with liquor bottles

    After a delicious dinner in NoDa, my cousin and I were looking for something to do. We did a search and came across this spot. If you have not been here you must make your way down. Great drinks, awesome environment, and some good performances. Side note, do NOT drop the mic.

    After reading some of the other reviews I was a little weary of this place. I came out for a specific event\ karaoke night hosted by the Urban League. The place was packed and there was hardly any standing room. It was pretty epic though to hear the entire bar singing Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song to the top of their lungs. Despite other reviews the DJ was very adamant about being fair and not letting the same people get on stage all night. This also was my first time trying some of the local beers. This bar had Legion on tap. The Juicy Jay was a favorite.

    This is always a HIT spot whenever we are in Noda. For some reason, we always end up going on Sunday, which is service industry night. Everybody is always super friendly and welcoming. This is a karaoke bar, but even if you don't actually stand and sing something, it's still an awesome bar to go and listen to others and get a couple of drinks. They don't sell any type of food here, so definitely plan on grabbing a quick bite before you go. When you go up to sing, everyone makes you feel super welcomed and get you going, and everyone sings along, especially if it's a classic or favorite! This is definitely a bar I recommend to everyone when they are in Noda. This is the most liveliest bar, and the ambiance is always on point! Now this is in Noda, so parking is terrible. There are a couple of parking lots you can park at or Side Street if you get there early enough. We do tend to arrive early just yo be able to snag a seat at the bar and be comfortable.

    Really fun place located in..... NODA lol lots of beer selection and great bartenders. Lots of fun listening to really good singers or some that will make your ears cry! . Really fun with a group ... cool vibes and a chill atmosphere. Can get packed later than 10pm.. but still roomy

    Karaoke is life for me so I'm happy I stumbled across this place! Well I didn't really stumble I was actively looking for a karaoke joint and it did not disappoint. I came here on Saturday night around 9pm and I was easily able to get a standing spot at their U shaped bar. There are tons of drink specials listed on the walls for any given day. The bartenders were kind and moving fast to get drinks out to ppl. They do not serve food however I did see a vending machine with some snacks. Nowwww as for the Karaoke part, my throat was sore in the morning after singing along with everyone that was performing. Gotta love it when someone performs a song you completely forgot about. I went up to the DJ's booth to scan the QR code which pulls up the database for all the songs they have then I wrote my request done on the sheet there. It took about 2 hours for my song to come up which I didn't mind because I was drinking and vibing so the time went by fast. I performed Kanye's "Jesus Walks" and I was sooo mad because by this time my voice was soo scratchy from all the singing I did to everyone else's songs. But I still did pretty good I'd say. I can't wait to come back here again

    Great karaoke spot! Cheap drinks, nice vibe! Not a lot of seating, though. DJ plays whatever song you want to sing!

    Check the physical location of the map pin here on yelp. Are you several blocks off Davidson on the ground floor of what appears to be apartments? Big difference in the parking situation from Davidson for a handicapped person.

    Thanks Ben! We’ve adjusted the pin.

    Where do you park?

    Hey Ben, there is street parking available for free all around. Best options are usually 36th or 35th street. There is a paid parking lot behind the Smelly Cat on Yadkin. Another option is to park at the ymca during non business hours but please… Read more

    Thanks And about what time does it usually start up?

    8pm-2am

    Is karaoke just on certain nights?

    It's basically every night AND A LOT of fun!

    We pop in for bingo (second Tuesday of the month) and always have a great time!…read more Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so I often find myself parking across the street, though I'm usually going at a busier time. 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!

    Part neighborhood pub, part dive bar, Hattie's has a reputation as a hipster hang out (I don't mean…read morethat in a bad way but I know some may take it that way). There is no food but they have cheap drinks, old school games, a spacious patio, and they host cool events like bingo night. Their motto is "Mind your P's and Q's" which I found amusing. I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.

It was a Friday night two weeks before Christmas, but it was only 5:45pm so I feel like we got lucky. We were able to walk in and be seated right away. We ordered cocktails and embraced the tapas menu, ordering too many things to sample and share. We sadly had to leave some of it behind. Our waitress was a sweetheart and though the restaurant space was big and open, the warm wood and exposed brick inside made it feel welcoming and cozy. There was enough room between tables that we didn't feel crammed in and the table was big enough to hold all the delicious goodness. I felt like two top tables can sometimes barely hold your water glass and bread plate. We head to Charlotte pretty regularly for various things, and I would like to bring our teenage boys back sometime. I think they would really like the menu and style of the restaurant. Nice enough for a quick date night before and event, but casual enough that I feel like we could bring the teens and not have to "dress up".

    This is me and my lady's favorite date spot. Great small plates, great cocktails, rotating menu…read more Service is always quick, too. I do think the interior sometimes feels a bit too "open-concept," if you know what I mean... ...but who cares?! The food is great! Of the stuff that stays on the menu, I really like: the chicken sandwich, the tandoori carrots, the mussels, and the pierogis. As for the current menu: I really like the watermelon caprese salad, scallops, and curry chicken tacos.
