Sammy has become my new go to spot, good vibes, good music, an all around good time. Mama K and her food be on point, I came back looking for her because the food definitely fills you up and its enough for the next day. read more

"Regulars Only" Ambience is minimal. Just a space in a strip mall that is desperate to be a bar. This bar caters to a certain group of people -- regulars. Not very welcoming. Save yourself the trip. read more

Went to Sammy's a few times during the holidays. The bartender service was sub-par and I'm being generous. Asking for anything beyond popping the top off a beer bottle was like teaching astrophysics to 3rd graders. The men's bathroom had a foul smell that burned your nose hairs from 30 feet away. They actually have hundreds of flies to guard the men's bathroom to keep anyone from stealing the filth. The pool tables are obviously rentals and are in terrible condition as expected. You have to literally beat four quarters into the pool table to get the balls to come out. Not that it matters because the table is warped and every cue stick is bent or broken. I guess they are keeping with the 'we are a dump' theme. The good news is that there are other options less than 1 mile away after you leave your half empty drink and flee Sammy's for better environment and service. read more

Smells Like Shit in the place. I don't know about the food i've never had it so can really leave a review on it however, if a place smells like cigarettes then you have to wonder how the quality and cleanliness of the kitchen and food are. read more

The first thing that will welcome you is the foul smell of urine. The next thing will be the watery mixed drink with a stale tasting soda mixed from a soda gun that hasn't been rinsed out since 2004. I would not visit Sammy's in Pineville again if you offered me a million dollars. It's 10 minutes of your life you can't get back plus the wasted drive to another bar outside of Pineville. read more

Cool local dive bar. Kat was a great bartender, and everyone was friendly. I'll be back!

I recently visited Sammy's Gay Bar, and I must say that my experience was highly disappointing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a rude bartender who seemed disinterested and unwelcoming. Their lack of professionalism and customer service skills set a negative tone for the entire evening. Furthermore, the condition of the facilities was deplorable. The bathroom was not only smelly but also incredibly dirty. It was clear that the cleanliness standards were not being upheld, which is unacceptable for any establishment, let alone a place that serves beverages. The atmosphere in Sammy's Gay Bar was far from enjoyable. Instead of being a safe and inclusive space, I witnessed two fights break out throughout the night. The lack of security or intervention by the staff was concerning and made me feel unsafe. It is crucial for a bar to prioritize the safety and well-being of its patrons. To make matters worse, there was clear evidence of drug use within the premises. This behavior is not only illegal but also poses a significant risk to the overall experience of customers. It's disappointing to see a lack of enforcement and control over such activities, which further diminishes the reputation of Sammy's Gay Bar. Overall, my visit to Sammy's Gay Bar was nothing short of a disappointment. The combination of a rude bartender, a smelly and dirty bathroom, fights, and drug use created an unpleasant and unsafe environment. I'm aware that Yelp manually removes negative reviews for businesses so I have also posted this review to more mainstream review sites such as Twitter, Trip Advisor, Facebook, Yahoo, and of course Google. read more

Service was terrible. I counted eight patrons in the bar and the bartender ignored me a full 12 minutes while she scratched an itch between her legs and played on her phone. To add insult to injury the drink was stale because the soda gun had obviously not been flushed in a decade or two. It was pure nastiness! Needless to say I did not finish the drink. I did not tip. I left. read more

Definitely a hidden gem in the area as you would never know from the outside just how welcoming and laidback this place really is, but as the old saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover... Sammy's is the kind of place you go to when you just want to get a nice cold beer after a hard days work, no questions asked, no pretenses, get away from reality for a bit, maybe make a new friend or two or just disappear into the background, either way, come as you are, as you won't find any judgment here. Think Cheers, Paddy's, Mode's Tavern or even my personal favorite the one and only Regal Beagle, and that is what you get with Sammy's. No drama, no frills, no nonsense. What more can you want? Well, food would be nice, but if they had that, I would probably sleep there and put them in my will, so probably water that they don't have food. Next time you are in the area, why not stop in for a beer or two or maybe ask them to make you something original, as you just might get sucked if you aren't careful, and that wouldn't be a bad thing. read more

Stopped for a few drinks while traveling through....Good Sports Bar with friendly staff and patrons...I will definitely be back...

This is a private bar. They do allow well behaved visitors. I enjoyed playing a couple of games on the billiards.

Looks great inside. Unfortunately that's all that's good. The table we sat at was sticky. A bunch of locals filled the bar area and the bar tender (only person we saw working) ignored us for almost 10 minutes. We decided to leave. read more

Brandy was extremely professional and provided incredible customer service even during a hectic period. The atmosphere was inviting and warm will definitely come back!!! read more

Umm- probably could be a 5-star sports place, but no food is served. I drove here with the intent to eat/drink and watch the game based on the menu tired to Yelp. It is unfortunate, but there is NO FOOD here. read more

They are thieves. They will carry your card to the back make a copy and then try to ask for your zip code "because that's is the only way to put in your transaction" they say, I feel so bad for the people who have fallen for this. Run!! read more

BLESS THIS BAR. We will visit as often as possible, found this place off a whim and it's home already. The owner is running his business exactly how he wants, and that's how it should be. Everyone here is incredible. read more

Cheap drinks. Convenient location. Friendly staff. Good music. No frills. What else do you need? Some complaint here about fight picking? Sounds like a personal issue. I'm new here and no issues. read more

Definitely a dive bar, but fun if you go with a group. They had live music last night - this unassuming little lady belting out some rock tunes (like Tom Petty) - you go girl! The bartenders were busier than a one-legged man in a fanny-kicking contest, but they were on top of things and provided great service- hope everyone tips them well! This little bar has 2 pool tables, a big deck out back and clean restrooms. read more

I like to visit different bars and once you find a good one you tend to come back. I was first introduced to Sammy's by a friend who watched sports games and invited me to tag along. It is somewhat dark when you go in their that you might walk bye the pool tables. As you approach the bar, you are greeted with a smile and on the days I visit the face is of an attractive lady. You can get infatuated with their charm or caught up in their looks but having "God in your heart" is more powerful than any of those. My mom always said "Actions speak louder than words." As you watch how she interacts with others you realize that she is genuine and really understands the importance of spending time with each of the customers that come to bar. Now some can see that as leading you on and perhaps bartenders need to be more careful in their interactions to make sure they protect themselves. If you do it right you can be the Tom Cruise of bartenders. Sammy's has a great selection of drinks and all the bartenders seem to know their stuff. You can get a well drink for between $6 & $7. I recommend the Tarheel Blue. They also have this neat point system which allows you to get a free drink. It takes a while but it sure is sweet when your bartender says you owe "Nothing". Dam right! Then you go back to zero and start again. Maybe someday I will earn enough "points" to get coffee or lunch with a bartender. Some other features are a golf video game that everyone loves to play and a basketball game "a hot shot" that you play at arcades. If your lucky the bartenders will play with you although their not quite good or I'm just that good. (Joking) You can also watch any sport from Nascar to Football on the multiple big screen high def TV's. I can't believe that I called Nascar a sport. As an added bonus they have a patio where you can drink outside. Last it is a Cheer's bar and you can tell the regulars because the bartenders already have their drinks ready for them before they reach the bar. The people I have met have all been pleasant and could see myself going their more if I lived closer. So grab a drink, pick out a song on their juke box and live that abundant life that God gives each of us. read more

Well, I just wanted to find some place to enjoy my self maybe shoot some pool. I looked this Sammy's up on Yelp. A review stated that there was a 25 dollar $ membership fee. I was curious so I called to confirm if it was true heres how that call went. Sammy's Yes hello I was just wondering is there a 25 dollar membership fee? Yeah there usually is and it's last call so you can't come in anyway ... click So I can't really review this place because I never even got to go there. The woman was super rude to me on the phone and hung up on me. That must be what that 25 dollar fee Is for. Someone else reviewed this bar saying "Were a Cheers like bar where everyone knows everyone" That seems to Equal If we don't already know you We don't want your business. read more

Sammy's is the best dive bar ever! No food, heavy pours, and free pool...what can be better than that? Not to mention the hottest bartenders around. Basically anything goes and is proclaimed to be the bar "...where the rumors begin." Even if you aren't the crazy nighttime party person, you will always be entertained by the stories about those of us that are! If you like a place where you won't be judged and you can be sitting next to a millionaire or a minimum-wager and never know the difference, Sammy's is the place to be! read more

Wow. If Pineville needs a spot for a landfill I think this place will do nicely. Stayed for a beer and made like a tree and got outta there. Atmosphere was a little like a toilet. Only toilets smell fresher. read more

I was very uncomfortable. Everyone there looks at you like your from another planet and looking for a fight. I just wanted to play pool and have a drink with my wife and the bartenders are not friendly at all. The regular customers do not like outsiders and let you know it. Drinks are not made properly and the draft beer was warm. Won't ever go back there read more

How does one review Sammy's? On the surface it may not seem like much. It's a small bar, tucked behind the Carolina Place Mall with free pool and karaoke on Tuesday nights. Once you go inside it not only looks 3 times bigger, but feels exponentially more like home than a bar. This is the quintessential "Cheers" bar for many South Charlotte and Pineville residents. Not everybody at Sammy's is a regular, but most are. Still if you are new you will be welcomed and offered a drink by one of the fun and friendly staff that everyone knows by name. During football season Sammy's is packed on Sundays and all year Friday and Saturday nights find the parking lot full. Sammy's reminds me of a dysfunctional family reunion, you don't necessarily like everyone, but you gotta love them. "Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name..." read more

4-stars for a dive. No food, they did have a popcorn machine, but I did not see it the last time we were in. They have fun things like an Easter Egg Hunt and have a jukebox, free pool, and a basketball machine. Fun while you drink! read more

If you are looking for a local bar to just hang out, have drinks, play pool or wii...then this place will do. Especially if you live in Pineville....this is a good to spot to hang out and listen to music. read more

A great place to drink if you like to see a familiar face and be treated like a regular every time. The prices are good, there is pool and a patio and always an interestingly mixed but friendly crowd. Bartenders Ashley and Kat and Fallon are my favorites. read more

Sammy's is a small bar, maybe 10 people there on a busy night. Not that this is a bad thing but it is a very calm place to get a drink and play pool on their 2 FREE pool tables. They do have a music player and a few arcade type games. Overall the bar has a good selection but does not offer any food. Sammy's is on my "OKAY" list. read more

This place is awsome if you party. Friendly crowd.They dont skimp on refresments. Every Sunday during football season somebody cooks. If food is free. However you need to buy some refreshments. read more

Walked in the door expecting a nice fun atmosphere. Was met with hostility the moment we got in. Friend went to use the bathroom before settling at the bar. A Dunk woman (she carried herself like a manager, called other people by name to intimidate us). Told us they didn't have a public bathroom. We politely explained that we planned to buy a few drinks and have a good time. She responded with "Bye, Thank you". We were then rushed out the door by a gentleman. I was with my wife and I do not appreciate being treated like that in public, Will NEVER spend money there. I advise nobody go there. Terrible experience. read more

We enjoy spending our weekends at Sammy's because we're always around great people and having a fun time! Drink specials are perfect for a fun night out! read more
