Hipster paradise. Great patio. Mondays are Knocturnal - a free hip hop party with great DJs, break dancers and sometimes rap cyphers. Thursdays are ShipRocked with some go go dancers, LGBT-friendly vibes and a variety of tunes spun by Scott Weaver. read more

This place won me over to Charlotte when my friend and I visited for the weekend. For our first time in the city and not knowing anyone in town, I asked locals via the internet what the best hangout spots were. Unfortunately we made a bad call of going uptown, which was completely dead and too touristy. We ended up here on karaoke night and it was a blast. Very chill, cheap drinks, and everyone was having fun. We came straight from a full day of sweating at the whitewater center, and didn't regret not showering or getting ready beforehand. So thanks, Snug Harbor, for showing us this side of Charlotte. read more

Keep in mind I only popped in here during a bar crawl and the place really didn't have many people in it but it was super early. I've heard about this place for a while and upon entering it really sealed the deal for me. It's a cool joint, feels a little gothic, rock, etc. If that's your thing you'll feel right at home here. The band is set up right in the bar area and I imagine is super loud during play time. The rear of the building has a could outdoor area which I really liked and of course the exterior entrance has a nice little patio too. In terms of beers, for those that care, they actually had a decent list to choose from. I totally expected only domestics and was shocked otherwise. read more

Great spot to grab a pop and hear some live music. They have $3 24oz PBRs, you can't beat that! It's a dark bar with pirate decor and velvet paintings which I totally dig! Arrr! And there is plenty of room for movin' and groovin' in front of the band. But the sweet spot at this joint is the patio out back with colored energy efficient lights strung up - major props for the being earth friendly and fun! read more

Divish but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately no music tonight. :-( Would recommend a visit.

A good friend kidnapped me from the Penguin and walked me over to Snug Harbor to check it out when it first opened, and I found it to be a great venue. From the frequent live, local music to the low-key atmosphere, it's a great spot to hang out. Snug Harbor is a good place to go to see the people you went to the Penguin to see...without fighting the Penguin crowd. The outdoor area is fun, and the pirate theme is pretty kickass. I've also got to agree with Pop'n F. that it's refreshing to go to a bar that's a BAR, and a BAR ONLY, for the love of God! No kids in sight, no one slanging jalapeno poppers...it's just a place to get together with friends, drink, smoke, and enjoy the music. read more

Had a few drinks here while we were waiting for a seat at Soul Gastrolounge. Seems like it would be a fun place. A good variety of beers and the bartender was great. read more

The spot was barely occupied with stragglers from the long weekend, but I heard some stringed instruments wailing from the street as I drove past. I thought about it for a minute and whipped it back around, I had seen a concert the night before and I was itching for a little more live music. The cover was five, which wasn't bad for an out of town band. The inside is painted red and decorated with paintings of ships, skull ornaments and pirate pictures. The bar is a 180 turn of a stool to see the quaint stage in the corner. I loved the acoustics and the intimacy of the venue. This may have been that it was a Sunday and an out of town band. The bartender looked like he may have been a pirate himself in a past life with long hair and beard. He was soft and friendly though. I came here alone and I felt welcomed, I wanna check it out again, they have a lot of live music here all week long. read more

Awesome staff, great beer, and mixed drink selection and it reminds of Ms. Mae's in New Orleans. I feel at home finally, after my terribly bad experience at Common Market, which was crap. read more

Snug Harbor - Seagrams and Seven Up - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Coolest bar in Charlotte! Cheap drinks, awesome entertainment and good company... check it out! By the way, their pirate theme is way cool, and the location is top notch! read more

First time there about 2 Friday's ago when the art festival was going on. Place was OK, the bartender (women) was horribly rude. It was like she didn't like colored people. Me and my boyfriend went to get another round of drinks, I can hear her pretty much screaming at another customer saying "you want a Heineken? Yes or no?" She walked over to the register and cashed them out and we were standing right in front of the register. My boyfriend was leaning against the bar and me right beside him. I watched her closely as she looked over at my boyfriend, shook her head and rolled her eyes like he was bothering her when he did nothing. She was rude! Caucasian woman in her late 20s, possibly early 30s with black/brown hair. I will not be going back. First experience was horrible!!! read more

Awesome shows and the atmosphere is great. Would not trade it for anything in the world. A must go to for anyone visiting Charlotte! Also, the drink prices aren't bad at all, pretty dang affordable read more

So this place is pseudo-hipster heaven. Here is were people judge you based on how you look and dress. Beware mainstream and casual people!! This place is weird. When I'm feeling anti-social and a little weird then I come here. I call it a circus! read more

This place is great! It sports a very hip atmosphere and lots of craft beer options with a full bar. It has a great patio. Very regular live music, Dj's and karaoke both on the stage or on the patio. It is also within a minute walk of a pool hall and a few other great plaza bars. read more

I don't come here often, namely due to the characters you would find inside the establishment, but many of my friends do enjoy their time spent here. Atmosphere is decent, & drinks are a average. My biggest complaint though is about the DJ Bone Thugz as I believe he has referred to himself as. He has no class or sense of mannerism. Several times have I witnessed this gentleman intentionally skip over his volunteers that have signed up to sing. He isn't fair or even understanding. I will never return to this bar on the nights "Bone Thugz" will ever be there, & never advise anyone to attend his showings. read more

Well drinks are decently priced. Some nights have drag shows after midnight. Crowd is mixed, which rocks. DJ sometimes is so drunk he plays whatever he feels like playing - even if it's 10 techno songs that no one likes/knows. Great venue to watch bands! read more

I'll go ahead and admit that I pre-judged Snug Harbor and figured that I'd never set foot in their door. The crowd outside seemed reminiscent of driving down fraternity and sorority rows whenever I'd drive by on my way to other places in Plaza Midwood. Thanks to Charlotte Craft Beer week twisting my arm and forcing me to go in for an event I've decided that I may just cut my hair, get the Bieber/fratty cut, wear a visor and put my sunglasses on a string around my neck because Snug Harbor is badass! A) the beer selection is pretty damn good B) the bar area itself kinda reminds me of an old man bar like Tommy's Pub (which I frequent) C) they bring in some really good bands (ummm...the Fleshtones WITH Lenny Kaye??? How freakin awesome is that?) and D) the vibe rocks. Really, Snug Harbor is the total package. Momma always said not to judge a book by its cover. You were right, Ma... read more

Another great neighborhood addition which I hope stays. Staff is awesome. (matt, brad, Andy t.d.b) I love that you can come here however you want to come. Do you. Just don't be an ass. Because thankfully no one will hesitate to tell you to beat it if you act a fool. read more

Spent some of the best nights here I don't remember. A cornerstone of the neighborhood. Great bands, great themed night, pretty terrible liquor and great beer selection. Start here and end the evening eating off The Diamonds after 1am menu and it's been a successful evening. read more

I really resisted Snug for a long time. Too hipsterish, not enough parking, not a popular place with the sistas, blah blah blah. But their Monday night hip hop jam Knockturnal officially has me hooked. How often can I see original, quality, underground artists for free? Homeboy Sandman rocked my socks; Kool Keith melted my face off. The best part, though, is the crowd. No one is profiling up in Snug Harbor, and even unknowns (and need-to-work-on-its) get love and support from the crowd. It helps that you're only about 12 inches from the stage, and b-boy ciphers can break out at any time without warning. The bartenders make it happen, efficient and cool. But ladies, if you have a small bladder, you might want to abstain and be the night's DD, because you don't want no parts of that bathroom. Just sayin. read more

I've never been here for the music. I've only hung out at here on Sunday afternoon for the bloody mary bar. Its worth it, they have so many condiments, etc to add to your Bloody Mary. I like that I can add what I like myself so I can put as much or as little as my taste buds like. read more

It's cheap, cozy and has nice flair. I like to stop in for a High Life or PBR when I'm making my rounds on a Fri/Sat in Midwood. I absolutely love the pirate theme they've got going on! The music is hit or miss for my tastes, but I've seen some really cool smaller shows here. You can usually tell if it's the right crowd for you before paying a cover... if there even is one the night you go. Snug Harbor is the perfect divey music venue for the neighborhood. read more

This was a life changer. Who knew that karaoke could teach me not to be a dick who gets drunk and writes yelp reviews.

ok..not bad. It was a dead night when we went but the bartenders were great. Attentive and not snobby in the least bit. The crowd was great too, yeah its different but I enjoy different. The pirate theme is cute too. The only thing that sucks is that parking is kind of sketchy. read more

Two words Pirate Bar. Do I need to say more. We have a pirate bar in Charlotte. Snug Harbor I'm not going to say dive bar b/c if I do it will become trendy and no I like it the way it is. It nice little bar in cut. They have live music almost everyday if I remember. They have music trivia on Mondays. The best part they have a rum that come in cannon ball. The staff was awesome enough to give me an empty bottle to have. Go and check it out you will enjoy it. read more

My partner is gender queer... We never once felt out of place or uncomfortable. So much fun, such an awesome find for newcomers to Charlotte. We're hooked! read more

I love coming here on Sundays. One of the best karaoke nights in town. Lots of laughs and good times! I don't drink but the bartenders are always awesome to me, as are the staff. The KJ's on karaoke night put on a great show and have fun with the crowd. Always a great night! read more

That Bone Snugs and Harmony guy is a very rude, snooty, critical joke. It's a karaoke, not a professional singing contest! He thinks his singing is so good but it sucks. read more

Love this place, from country Tuesdays to the eclectic shiprocked Thursdays. Bit of a hipster scene, but if you like independent music, good drinks and a chill environment then you will dig it. read more

I have only been to this place on thursday nights and it is a must see and attend! Very diverse friendly crowd. If your weekend starts on thursday you will be in the right place. Gogo girls with dyed spiked hair ppl mainly 25 to 35 that know how party! read more

Good music. Dancing. Interesting crowd. Just a fun place to go. Scott Weaver always makes the night full of crazy fun. Lots of different bands play and theres plenty of space to hang out outdoors. The bathrooms are the only negative. read more

An epic place for live music! Get to hose down your liver for a moderate price on canned beer, maybe even bump into some unapologetic/rebellious college kids. And best of all, you will leave with your ears ringing... If that is what you are into. read more

If you're a music junkie, you should definitely check out Snug Harbor. The inside is pretty small but there are two beautiful patios and an outside bar in the back. The best time to go is on a Wednesday night if you're just now discovering this gem. Great beer specials and $4 fireball. It doesn't usually get crowded until around 11pm and the atmosphere is friendly and easy going. Everyone seems to know each other but it's easy to branch out and meet new people. A great choice if you're looking to learn more about the charlotte music scene. read more

Really like this place. Diverse, funky, cool events.

OMG!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The music is fun and the drinks a AMAZBALLZ!!! If you are looking to have a good time with friends and meet new peeps this is Your spot. Cute pirate theme and comfy outdoor area. Total Thumbs Up! read more

This was my first time here and I met up with a couple buddies. This place is an ideal mix of straightforward styling, cool feeling and not pretentious in any way. There's a lot of room to stand around and gather with buddies and meet new ones. The lighting is absolutely low. The bartenders know their items and they're fast. They even have room outside to hang out which seemed cool but no one was outside because it was way too chilly, but I truly would like to reach the outside when the weather is a lot warmer. The stage and music proved to be a nice surprise. I'll go back for sure!! read more

all sweetness and smiles from the employees here. i come just about every day after work and i love it here.

great place, great bartenders, good sound system..they COULD have a lil' better AC system for those sweltering summer nites but i digress..:)...COUNTRY TUESDAY w/COREY rocks!!...or countries!!!! read more

I'm not much of a bar scene kind of person. However, I absolutely love this place. The people, staff and over all environment is amazing. I'd recommend this bar to anyone who isn't into the uptown kind of bar scene. read more

My type of place ;) Always a good time, love the outside patio space
