| - Well, contrary to Garrett, I consider this a perfect place for a date, for people like me who like music more than mush.
The bands are always diverse, and I've never heard one I didn't like. The beer is cheap ($3 Tallboys, $2 Mickey's), the bartenders are good, the cover is reasonable. You can choose to be right up front and get sweated and/or trampled on, hang out in the back on a (kind of skeezy-looking, but comfortable) couch, or chill in the bar room in an old diner booth. I recently met a Charlotte newcomer friend of mine here for a show- his text when he got there was "I've been here 30 seconds and I already love it."
The only complaint I have is the bathrooms. When you're selling Tallboys that cheap, you can't expect people to just hold it until they get home. And I'm not a bathroom snob- I expect dive bar bathrooms at a dive bar. All I ask for is toilet paper, soap, and DEAR GOD, pour bleach or something down the men's toilet every now and again, it's stinking up the whole hallway.
Generally speaking, you'll find me here at least a few times a month. I'll be the girl with a PBR standing next the the stepladder.
Oh, P.S., cash-only bar.
