Kristian and Mark, my review of your bar is long overdue, but I've just begun to buy into the idea of social media so forgive me. Hooligans is my favorite bar in Charlotte and I've been drinking there for nearly as long as they've been open. Kristian, Mark, Jay and Barry know the regulars (and there's a lot of them) by name and the regulars become friends. Most are still friends on match days even if their teams are playing one another.
This bar is not for you if you're looking for the latest drink ending in -tini. This bar is not for you if you want to listen to dance music. Guys, this bar is definitely not for you if you're trying to pick up a woman! This bar is not for you if you expect to constantly see the Yankees games.
If you're looking for a great bar to enjoy good company and drink a beer, Hooligans is for you. And if you have any interest in "soccer" this is definitely the place for you. It gets rowdy on match day, even if match time is 8:30 on a Sunday morning.
