    Table outside. Great place to hang!
    Mike S.

    A Charlotte staple this place was here long before I arrived and from speaking with my friends who grew up here it has been a favorite hangout of Charlotte natives for years. They are known for their inviting patio (I am not really sure I even know what the inside of this place looks like) and their inexpensive mixed drinks they call transfusions which are served in a signature Styrofoam cup. I no longer live very close to this place so I hadn't ventured over here in a while but my Patriots were playing on a Thursday night so some friends suggested this location to get together and watch the game. We managed to snag some couch space along with a table surrounding a fire pit. A fire wasn't needed as the weather was nice but I imagine they come in handy during the colder months. For drinks I kept it simple with beer orders while many at our table enjoyed their transfusion drinks. We decided to try their pizza and ordered three larges for the table along with some chips and queso and several appetizers. The food was ok nothing special. Good enough to eat while drinking and watching sports but not something you would plan your night around to come eat. If I were to base it simply off the food the score would be lower but our main objective was to watch the game and have a good time and they certainly provide that. Our server was fantastic and did a great job keeping up with everyone's orders she gets 5 stars from me. I can definitely see the charm to this place, it is old school and laid back. If I lived closer I would probably swing by more often.

    One of my favorite spots to watch football games! Got to try the diet transfusion or the regular if you aren't counting calories! Also they have some "decent"'wines for you none beer liquor drinkers :)

    This place is alright. The food is typical bar food options but everything I ordered tasted good. The drinks I ordered were also good, however I do think the first drink I ordered was incorrect. But as it tasted fine and I didn't want to wait for another drink I drank it. The outdoor are could be so good, but they REALLY need to invest in new seating under the roof. The couches by the big TVs were all broken and extremely uncomfortable. When my boyfriend sat down he literally sunk into the seat. This place is not incredibly expensive which is nice.

    Too busy socializing and eating his lunch to take our order.

    So we come here quite often. Though we have never sat at the bar. Today we decided to sit at the bar because there were only 2 people there. The bartender basically dared us to order a drink and we had to beg for menus. My thought is that if we aren't the right kind of customers (old) let us know. We'll leave. Truth is, I can stay at home and be ignored.

    So...another one of my "been in Charlotte 3 years and I just tried this place?!" moments (ie Penguin). Was out with a buddy last week and after some good beer tasting at Dockworkers, we were in the mood for pizza. Decided to head in the direction of the new Mellow Mushroom on Selwyn, but unfortunately (fortunately tuned) it was not open yet. Decided to go across the street to Selwyn Pub as we'd never been. OMG...place is awesome. Was busy for a Tuesday and the patio area is twice the size of the pub itself. Huge TVs, couches, fire pits, high tops, low tops, fireplaces, separate bar. Selwyn could be my new favorite pub in Charlotte, but I'll let a few more visits in the coming weeks decide that. Found ourselves a fire pit near the TV. Baseball game was on and checked out the menu. To my surprise and delight all the pizza was $12.99. That's right, za for $12.99. And that's their specialty pizza prices. You want A 10" (I think that's the right side, then it's $7.99). You want an 18" cheese pizza with all the toppings...yep...$12.99. Witnessed a few handfuls of customers picking up the pizza to-go, which means like usual I'm the last one to the party. I'll be back soon, especially with the nice fall weather in store!

    Quick recap: if you're looking for a place to grab a beer outside, this is a nice place. If you're looking to have a good meal, this is not your place. Good beer, good wings, not so good everything else. Very much a neighborhood bar where people know each other. Been here a few times usually to drink outside. Only once inside bc it is a bit dark and confined. But the beer was fine, service was ok, wings were fine as well. Outside of the wings, I have yet to get anything that really hit the spot or made me want to order it again. This is classic bar food you eat when you are not sober. At that point it doesn't really matter. Not a bad place, but not a place I would recommend to people looking for a cool spot to eat and drink visiting Charlotte.

    Veggie pizza just the way I like it!!

I can also attest that during high profile games like the European finals, the entire Brevard Courtyard fills in for a festive atmosphere dedicated to the excitement of the competition. It's nothing fancy, just a charming hole in the wall to enjoy good drink and good company.

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.

We came in at a time when it wasn't really busy, but it took forever for our server to come around.

Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food.

I'd recommend the sampler plate with the Jalapeño Cheddar Bratwurst as one choice ( you get three) and Jumbo Pretzel with Cooper Bier cheese & Düsseldorf mustard. The sides, such as their German potato salad, red cabbage and sauerkraut are very good. In addition theres a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads to choose from. The outside venue is amazing with ample outside seating featuring a fire pit, corn hole ( collect bags at the bar), children's playground and a water station for pets.
