| - I'm pretty sure the owners are going for a "dive bar" atmosphere and boy have they achieved it! In a good way, of course. ;)
The interior is fun, with lots of kitschy decorations, including a velvet Elvis or two. I loved how every table and chair was different. We opted to sit at the big wagon table at the back, in front of the big windows that overlooked Monroe Road/Lupie's Cafe. It's still on wheels and rolls back and forth a little bit. Yay for interactive seating options!
The beer selection didn't live up to my admittedly high standards. I get the need to carry inexpensive PBR, Bud, etc. in a place like this but I would love to see even just one or two local sections. So many Charlotte breweries are canning now, why not add a Birdsong or NoDa option? Thankfully, the margaritas are awesome!!
The food was solid. We ordered a few stars including my special creation -- TNT fries with chili, queso and guac. Ultimate bar food and so good! The chips and salsa/queso/guac were all wonderful. The tacos were unimpressive compared to what you can get at other spots around town. Friends got burritos and they looked good. I loved all the fresh avocado!
Last but not least, we loved all the servers. Justin, in particular, was tons of fun!
