Games while drinking are the best!
Mari N Jhonathan T.

This place is our vibe! The staff is always nice and always helps with our drink choices. We have come a couple times and every time is just great! They have games, karaoke, music and sometimes just chill, depending when you come. Oh, we love the egg rolls here! Highly recommend you come on a Friday night!

We attended a Drag Queen brunch here and had the best time. For such a small space lots of entertainment was accomplished. This is not a regular thing, perhaps just an occasional event. The performers were AMAZING! The ladies definitely know how to work a crowd. My fav part was the Q&A and let's be honest, all the performances. The only negative was the food. It was a small buffet on the patio which included some fruit, pastries and breakfast food with some horrible meatball and chicken nugget pieces (I swear those were not full nuggets). However the mimosas were delicious. We grabbed a pitcher and had a buzz quickly. Enough so that we did some drunk HomeGoods and Target shopping afterwards. Pro Tip: come early to the show so you get a good seat at the middle table or the bar.

the Casual Pint is a small bar/restaurant located in Rivergate shopping center. Relatively small location with a long bar, and a small bit of seating. There is also a small retail area with a shelving area with warm and cold beer. The beer selection is terrific for such a small location, they have 35 taps all of which are occupied with craft beer. A lot of local offerings as well. I believe they also have a couple of taps with wine. They have food, but I haven't ordered any on any of my visits. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. Overall I really enjoy this place, and will be back any time I am in the area.

Selection of Porters and Stouts including a French Toast stout that tasted like maple syrup!

We've been several times now and absolutely love the Casual Pint! They always have fun seasonal and staple beers on tap (you can get bottle or growlers too) and it's a relaxed atmosphere! Jess our waitress was amazing! She was super personable, recommended great drink options and made our whole experience stellar. Highly recommend popping by for a drink and some standard pub food. The 10 inch pretzel and beer cheese was fantastic.

Pretty nice location to come grab a beer after doing some shopping or just to meet up for a quick drink with friends. They have a really nice beer list along with a couple of wines. I also like that they have food as well. I opted for some chicken tenders and fries during my visit. They weren't the best but they also were the worst I've ever had before. I would definitely go back for a visit if I'm in the area.

The Casual Pint in Steele Creek

Beer is a good thing (their tshirts on sale quote Benjamin Franklin's "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." and other similar sentiments.) and The Casual Pint has it in spades. Thirty-six taps and a cooler with hundreds more making them the best bottle shop in Steele Creek. The staff really seems to know the beers. I watched one young lady recommend and provide samples to a couple. Friendly and with a nice laugh, she was trying hard to find one they liked. They have their own kitchen (menu includes wings, pretzels, flatbreads, salads and bratwursts) and they also have a list of places on their website that deliver.

For beer, this place is a solid 4 star. The food is acceptable but underwhelming. If you are hungry, have a few brews before eating.

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.

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!
