| - This is exactly the type of bar that Charlotte needs.
The Corner Bar is -- you guessed it -- in the corner unit with Title Boxing, adjacent to Ayrsley Grand Cinema. It's a small space, but the decor and layout keep it from feeling cramped. Two televisions above the bar play black and white movies; on my last visit they were screening White Heat. If there's a game on you absolutely must see, they'll switch it over for you, but the movies create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that's tough to beat. The music is enjoyable, too; I heard some Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin on my visit.
I've visited for dinner and was very pleased with my choices of Sirloin Kabobs and Caramelized Brussels Sprouts. The chimichurri sauce on the kabobs adds a delightful flavor, and the sirloin is cooked perfectly. The Brussels sprouts are easily the best I've had dining out; the bacon and granny smith apples make the dish shine. Portions are great for passing along your party, but one or two small plates make a decent meal if you, like me, aren't into sharing.
I can't speak for the drinks, as I just had club soda with lime, but I can say that the bartenders seem to operate exceptionally well together and enjoy their work. They call everyone by name and make sure that everyone is comfortable and ready to relax and have a nice night out.
All in all, The Corner Bar seems like a nice neighborhood hangout that's happy to welcome locals, travelers, and people looking to try something new.
