| - Hickory Tavern is a Charlotte-area sports bar staple. This particular location at the Met is the one where I have most often gone to eat, drink and be merry. It's nicer than some of the divey sports bars you'll find, but still reasonably priced.
If you're familiar with the Met, you know that parking is awesome (note the sarcasm). There's a deck across the way and you may want to give yourself a few minutes to wind through the rows to find a spot. Once parked, things will improve as it's just a quick jaunt across the street.
One of the things I like about Hickory Tavern is that I always know what to expect. They have a pretty good menu with enough different options to satisfy most folks. I usually go with the burger, the wings (Korean BBQ), or the chicken tacos. They also have an extensive draft and bottle list with local options, regional, and beyond.
Service can be hit or miss but more often than not it's pretty good. We generally don't have to wait for a table which is another plus.
You'll find TVs everywhere in this place. In fact, I doubt that there is a seat in the house that doesn't have a clear line of sight to a TV screen. If you want to watch a game (or many games at the same time), this is a great spot for that.
All in all, a good sports bar with reasonable prices, quality beer selection, and some solid eats.
