I want to start by saying I don't know much. I don't know why this place changed from Midtown Sundries to Fanz. I don't know if the ambiance or clientele has gone downhill. I don't know about jazz, or live bands and performances.
All I know, is that I have been coming here on Tuesdays for half-priced wings for over six years now, and I have never been disappointed. I always sit at the bar if space is available, I think you get better, more efficient service at the bar. The wings have been pretty consistent throughout my time patronizing this place. I usually switch it up between the Bar.Ba.Low sauce and the smokey BBQ sauce. Both are delicious on the charred wings dipped in ranch.
I never go here any other time except on Tuesday's (the screens aren't legit enough to go here for sports). I never order anything other than 10 wings at half price. I never drink anything other than the $2.50 Yuenling which is also on special on Tuesday nights.
This place is good for what I use it for, cheaply priced, great tasting wings. Def not a place I would bring to show an out-of-towner the best of Charlotte. Def not my Friday or Saturday bar of choice either. Say what you will, but there is no denying the wings at Mid...oops, I mean Fanz ;-)
