I've been to Courtyard Hooligans on numerous occasions to watch different soccer matches. What an awesome atmosphere to get together with friends and strangers to cheer on your team of choice. Courtyard Hooligans is also the official Charlotte bar for the American Outlaws, the supporting group for the United States Men's and Women's National Teams.
Scarves from clubs around the world adorn the ceiling and walls along with signed jerseys and soccer paraphernalia. They have a great draft beer selection including a lot of local brews from Charlotte and around the Carolinas. They do not serve food, but they do allow you to bring food in. Some of the businesses in the French Quarter will allow you to order and then actually deliver it to you at the bar -- can't beat it.
