Thomas Street Taven was one of the first bars I ever went to charlotte. It isuch an awesome place. After spending more time in Plaza Midwood, I started to experience this bar on different nights.
The atmosphere here is amazing. You have a bar inside with tv's, a foosball table, and a pool table. During the week it begins to feel like cheers where the bartenders remember your name and your drink. The bartenders actually are pretty cool down to earth people here. The outside section is where this bar shines. There is plenty of seating with fire pits and another bar outside. They have a net enclosed ping pong area which is always fun trashed, cornhole, and the akward game where you have to get the ring on the hook. This mix of people here is great. From locals, to hipsters, to college kids, and anyone else in between.
For me if you don't want to go to a club Thomas Street is always an amazing place to go. There is so much fun things to do outside and the people watching is great. The bar prices are not expensive at all and there are many other bars to hop to close by. The food here is acceptable, but I would probably eat somewhere else if I could. Though the atomsphere is what makes this place shine.
