My husband and I were in Charlotte for the evening and we took a chance on walking in to The…read moreDegenerate. 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.

The tater tots and sweet potato gnocchi were absolutely incredible, and honestly, every dish we tried was memorable. The Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese are also standouts. If you're going with a group, sharing plates is definitely the move so you can try a little bit of everything. And if it's your first time visiting, the fried chicken is a must. To finish, get the banana pudding. Trust me. Our server, Sebastian (we've had him twice now), was amazing both times.. attentive, personable, and always on top of anything we needed. The atmosphere ties it all together: dim lighting, cozy vibes, and the perfect spot to settle in for elevated comfort food. A charlotte staple

This was such a disappointment. found this place on tik tok and the found was absolutely horrible…read more I ordered the haber dish with a chicken thigh , macaroni and cheese"dressed greens" the chicken here is 70% fried breading and 30% stringy, unflavored chicken. the mac and cheese was decent! the dressed greens were literally cut off ends of romaine, dont waste your time. We also shared green beans and Brussel sprouts . the green beans were charred on the outside and undercooked ok the inside. The brussel sprouts were cooked to a crisp and lacked flavor. My boyfriend had the OG chicken sandwich and he couldnt finish/ stomach it, this includes the burned fries that were served with it. The restaurant itself is nice, I don't think their AC was working but its got a cool rustic look. Our server was kind and attentive as well. Maybe they had an off day but this was a pretty big waste of a $60+ meal.

I was immediately greeted by the friendly young man behind the counter. I asked how the monkey bread pastry is and he highly recommended so I got that warmed up. Ordered a mocha latte and went to find a seat while he fixed my order. Shortly he brought everything over and he was not lying abt that monkey bread. It was delish! I settled into my cozy seat with my book and before I knew it was 11a. This place is truly so cozy time skips by. Since they serve cocktails too, figured since was still there might as well try one, I got the Poloma and it was refreshing, light and delish. Since it is in Noda, there isn't a parking lot, so parking could get challenging the later in the day it gets, but this place is perfect to check out any time of day.

I added sausage to the pizza that had cheese and a white sauce and I can't wait to try it again. They had a lot of great options and one pizza is enough for 2/3 people to share.

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.

The signs, the hints of Irish detail are adorable. The highlight of this visit were the Leprechaun Balls. Crispy balls of Irish cheddar, cream cheese, and jalapeño, I really didn't even need the ranch that came with them. Not too spicy, just the right amount of jalapeno flavor. Yes the pub burger was good. The fries were delicious!!! My husband enjoyed the fish sandwich (which he did not let me get a bite of, lol) But again the show stopper for me were the Leprechaun Balls and I literally ordered them because the name was cute but they were mouth watering.

Maybe it's the fact that they can be found all over the world. Well now one can be found in the NoDa neighborhood of Charlotte and it definitely delivers the cozy pub vibes. They host trivia nights as well as musical acts, and even movie nights! Not to mention the food has been getting rave reviews. I myself have not had the pleasure yet of trying their food, but I can say they pour a great Guinness!

She really likes the Lavender Gin Fizz but did not like the Jalapeño Lime Margarita. She thought it was too spicy. It tasted fine to me maybe it the uncultured 21 year old palette.

I love that it comes in a beaker and you get to pour it into smaller beaker shot glasses! So cute. For my main drink, I got the strawberry mule. It was very refreshing and made well.
