In my opinion, JackBeagles is one of the best bars in Charlotte. They have some of the most excellent food and you can never go wrong with their Jack Mac or Buried Treasure Fries. This is also an excellent place to go watch the game with your friends. They seem to always have some kind of live music whether it is an open mic night or an awesome local band like Swim in the Wild. This place can get pretty crazy on the weekends like any of the bars in NoDa but it is always a good time and never disappoints. They also have a pretty awesome selection of beer with usually at least one really nice craft beer on special for $2-$3. I highly recommend this place.
