We pop in for bingo (second Tuesday of the month) and always have a great time! Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so I often find myself parking across the street, though I'm usually going at a busier time. The bar is divey, and you can find very cheap drinks, especially if you go for the daily specials. The bartenders are nice - beware that they do keep your card if you keep your tab open - and seem to know the regulars. In addition to monthly bingo, they seem to host drag events, have video games and board games available to play, as well as several TVs. Plus, dogs can go inside and out. The bar does not serve food, though usually there is a vendor there. Looking forward to next month! read more

Part neighborhood pub, part dive bar, Hattie's has a reputation as a hipster hang out (I don't mean that in a bad way but I know some may take it that way). There is no food but they have cheap drinks, old school games, a spacious patio, and they host cool events like bingo night. Their motto is "Mind your P's and Q's" which I found amusing. I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it. read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great little bar! Chill vibes and good drinks. Limited parking but they had a food truck too! Great location.

Small dive bar with character! Old school video games, daily drink specials, and nice bartenders. Check it out!

Great place to hang out, outdoors also. Really liked the bartenders, super helpful with a great vibe :) I enjoyed the great chats with the other customers also. Very much worth a visit! read more

Best dog bar in Charlotte, LGBTQ+ friendly, tons of TVs playing sports and movies, a wall with old school video games, a cabinet of tabletop games, free pool and darts, and a decently large but secluded back patio. It's hard to describe quite how special this place is; for all the features and fun things to do, the venue has an effortless vibe and the drinks have the best prices you can find in the city. Don't let that fool you; just about everyone on the bar staff has extensive experience as trained cocktail bartenders, and the top shelf is nothing to scoff at. There are also regular karaoke nights, movie events, and a steady rotation of absolutely amazing food tents and trucks coming through in the parking lot. If you're chill and want to see where the locals hang out, give this storied dive a go! read more

I do love Hatties. Great cheap beer and draft beer options. The people watching here is top notch. The bartenders can be dicks sometimes, but I don't mind. I just smile and tip more. Gives the place more character. read more

Best dive bar in Charlotte, North Carolina! Halfway between plaza Midwood and NoDa on the North East side of Charlotte (aka the cool part ). If you need a PBR and some Karaoke in a dog friendly and LGBTQ+ friendly environment with board games and an N64 - this is the place for you! Outside seating available as well. Great local bar - always hosts live music and other community events. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon for my friends birthday and there was a football game on and we were greeted SO warmly by the staff and patrons both! What a fun atmosphere!! read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Hattie's is my new, favorite neighborhood bar and I don't even live in the neighborhood! When we wandered in around 6pm on a Saturday, we were one of only two couples in there. I was relieved to find a bar in Charlotte that wasn't packed to the max on a Saturday. It was a breath of fresh air. By the time we left around 9pm, it had filled up but not obnoxiously so. I was very impressed by their beer selection. I was expecting PBRs and Bud since they are billed as a dive bar, but they had offerings from Old Meck, Legion, Birdsong, NoDa... All the local favorites! I settled on the OMB Dunkel Weissen and sidled up to the old school Nintendo tempting me from across the room. Sadly, there was no gun to play Duck Hunt so we settled on a little Mario Brothers instead. We poked our heads out back and holy patio, Batman!! Hattie's might just be hiding the best patio in Charlotte! It was rainy and cold the night of our visit but rest assured, once the weather gets better, we will be permanent fixtures out there with our dog. read more

Hattie is a neighborhood gem! Unpretentious, welcoming to all, and great drink special. They have lots of fun nights: bingo, karaoke, live bands, games , and community fundraisers. Friendly staff and cool people! It's a great place for a drink after work! They have an entire wall of gaming systems as well! People love to play them! read more

Hattie's is by far my favorite bar in Charlotte! Always a great vibe and amazing staff.

Well, this is certainly a dive bar, that's for sure. Hattie's is filled with a diverse group of people, which I absolutely love. I've never met anyone there that wasn't friendly...both regulars, newcomers and bartenders. They have a great selection of beers, too! Since it's not too packed, it's usually quick to get a drink at the bar. Yeah! The outside patio is such a gem. They have a bunch of picnic tables out there, so I definitely recommend grabbing one of the games inside and playing outside when the weather is nice. Inside is a little dingy. I've been here a few times when the band was playing. The acoustics aren't great and it just ends up sounding loud (so it's hard to enjoy the music at a normal level). The bathrooms never seem very clean and on Saturday, the door lock wasn't working on one of the bathrooms. I would say there are better places to have a beer, but if you're in the Plaza Midwood area and just want to chill and have a cold one, you can't go wrong with Hattie's. read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - Who knew they had a great patio with a bunch of picnic tables! - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

It was a dark and stormy night. And I'm not kidding. The nearest place to get dry and have a drink was Hattie's. Yelpers have raved about this dive bar, so I needed to see for myself. Definitely a dive bar with a Capital "D" - but that's not a bad thing. A live band was rocking out with "It's All about that Base". Lots of little details here and there and of course the mural is awesome! Whoa! Look at that beer selection - not only do they have 20 plus taps, but their canned and bottled selection is astounding - everything from Fullsteam Summer Basil to Natty Bo! A little something for everyone!! Apparently they also put the "C" in Cold Chillin'. read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! I mean really - how can you beat this place. It a dog friendly bar with dog friendly people enjoying cold beers , karaoke , and strangers pets. I went to Hattie's one night as a apart of an epic night with co-workers, Hattie's was or second spot and although I cannot remember the entire night... I remember the experiences I had here. The staff and patrons were equally friendly and eager to start conversations with new faces. I cannot wait to try this out again... randomly with my own pup ... ill let you know how it goes. :) read more

Called to ask about how the parking was because I use a wheelchair. I stated this in the phone call. I was unsure if there was parking in front, in the back, or down the street. The guy who answered the phone was very rude and told me "you'll see when you get here." After saying repeatedly I use a wheelchair and need to know I finally got him to tell me it's in front. Will not be going here. read more

A classic hipster bar in NoDa/Plaza Midwood bridging the gap between the between the two neighborhoods, and an incredible beer list. If there, ask for Monica, one of the best bartenders in Charlotte! Hopefully you can catch one of their awesome Alt rock shows! read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Cheap drinks, free games, good bartenders, karaoke on Thursdays and quiet nights are the best!

Attentive bartender staff. Followed CDC guidelines. Large outdoor area. Free pool! What more could someone ask for. Hattie's has a homie vibe that allows you to feel safe & truly enjoy your time during the pandemic. 10 out of 10 would recommend! read more

I've been here for about 3 minutes and can already tell I like it here. Super friendly welcome from the front door to the bartender. Awesome beer selection. read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Discovered Hattie's for the first time tonight and already know I'll be a regular! Even though it's rather unassuming from the parking lot, this is the perfect divey bar to hangout with friends and drink NC beer. They have cornhole and ping pong outside on their awesome and huge patio. Inside there is super smash brothers and wii and karaoke. Tuesdays are $3 NC draft nights which is a great deal. Super friendly folks as well. read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - The patio! - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is my local bar. Don't come here.. we don't want it to get busy. Their beer selection is great, they have a super friendly staff and the ambiance is outstanding. Honestly, I'm going to be upset six months from now when this place is packed and I can't find parking. It's seriously a gem nestled between the Midwood/Villa/NoDa. The 'coolness' factor in this place is legit. I can't say anything bad about this place. It's buy stock in Hattie's if I could. read more

I've literally never been to another bar where I felt as comfortable and relaxed as I do at Hattie's. I've been there 4 times over a couple of months and it already feels like I've been going since I could drink, and the staff recognize me too. Every time someone suggests going out for a drink I recommend Hattie's. It's my go to bar. read more

First thing to note about Hattie's: it's awesome! This is my roomate's favorite spot in Noda and he's been insisting I go for a while now. Hattie's was introducing a new beer to the area: Smore's by Blue Blaze-honestly one of the best beers I've had. Although, I would much prefer it in the later months into fall. The inside features a pool table, dart board (which we took full advantage of) pinball, and a few game systems. Mario Kart was available upon request. Advantages to Hattie's are that it isn't quite as busy as other places in Noda. It was a bit of a hike from the heart of Noda but well worth the walk. I plan on returning in the near future! Staff were really personable and didn't make you feel rushed. read more

While at this bar one night I was harassed by the bartender and his girlfriend. It was an awful experience and I will never return to the bar and also let everyone that I know in Charlotte that it's not a good bar to go to. Don't waste your time here. There are plenty of better bars in Charlotte where are you won't get harassed by the people that work there. read more

This staple between plaza midwood and noda gets it done when you are trying to avoid the crowds of the grocery store in these trying time. It has ample parking and a dumpster to put all your empties. While normally they will play all my DC sports a look through the door reveals the TVs are off for the duration. See pic for my fav Hattie's cocktail. read more

Hattie's Tap & Tavern - I didn't even have to use my AK. Today was a good day. - Dive Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love this bar. Hattie's is the perfect neighborhood dive bar. The patio is big, you can bring in outside food, the TVs are great for games (there's even a huge projector). I hosted an engagement party for friends of mine and had about 50+ guests, and used Hattie's as the venue. It was so easy and so fun. Jackie, the owner, is always so helpful and was great to work with. The bartenders are always fast and efficient and friendly. I've spent the past 3 NYEs there. Hattie's is home! Where everybody knows your name read more

Best bar in Charlotte! We love to take the dogs there and play some Mario Kart on N64.

Look at these reviews and tell me you don't want to go to Hattie's!? A bar that has something for everyone. And I mean everyone. I've taken my girlfriends mom here, my best friends, and even just my girlfriend for some drinks. It helped living extremely close but now that I've moved away Hattie's is still one of my prime destinations if drinking and having fun are on the agenda. From old school Mario, arcade games, duck hunt, to Pokémon stadium. They've got a WIDE selection of video games. Seriously. If you don't like the game that's in the slot. Usually Mario kart or super Mario. Then go and ask to change it out. They probably have your favorite in their massive box of games behind the bar. They've got jenga and cornhole on the back patio with plenty of room plus a tv or two for watching the games. They have bingo on Tuesday's and karaoke too. Make sure to check them out on social media and see what's coming up! They have a lot of beer taps plus a full bar. Extremely good drink specials too. I don't know why you would go anywhere else! read more

This is why I love Yelp! My husband and I were looking for somewhere that we haven't been to yet to grab a drink. Yelped bars in Charlotte and Hattie's popped right up. Well, I am so glad we chose this place because this may become one of our regular spots. I will have to say that the outside of Hattie's isn't the most inviting....I actually thought they were closed for a minute there because of the black tint doors. Completely recognize that they are going for a dive feel, though, so that may have something to do with it. When you step in though, it's a huge space inside!! First thing I noticed was all the video games with tvs mounted on the wall. I dont know if I have ever seen that in any bar in the area. So fun! For a new-ish bar, I was fairly shocked with how many local beers they had on tap! Some of them werent even the standard locals that everyone has.....they adventured a little bit. Throughout the night, I had the Triple C BabyMaker and the Unknown Ginger Wheat (both of which I love and order regularly!). My husband had a citrus IPA and some coco stout. Dont think we had heard of the beers before....which is a hard task to accomplish for us! We played a couple games of darts and then checked out the outdoor patio. Really neat space! We watched an artist work on the outside mural for a bit. They have cornhole out there, ping pong, and a bunch of tables and lights. Chill spot to listen to some live music! I saw that they seem to have lots of things going on out there. Live music, open mic, etc. There wasnt anything happening on the Wednesday we went out, but I will absolutely return to check out some live music. There were so many little touches that I loved.....dog pictures, charging station for phones, the random bathtub on the patio! Dog friendly, but not overwhelming dog friendly. Just a cool, chill bar! read more

If you are in the NoDa/Plaza Midwood area and you haven't been here then you are 100% missing out!!! I used to live in NoDa and it took me almost a year to finally check this place out. The location isn't in the most inviting part of town and unless someone has told you about it, you more than likely won't give it a chance. With that being said.... DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let location or outside appearance be the reason you don't stop here. IT IS AWESOME!!!!! Here are a few quick reason why it is great: everyday $2,$3,and $4 beer specials, bar tenders are nice and friendly, great art and beer signs inside and out, awesome back patio area with corn hole, life size jenga, and other games, and the best bingo spot in town on a Tuesday!! I just honestly don't have anything bad to say about this place! They offer so much. It truly is a "hidden" gem! Bingo on Tuesdays is so fun and the live music is always good. There are free arcade/PlayStation games, and board games available. It doesn't get too extremely crowded so it's a good place to go with a group of friends. Please if you haven't visited Hattie's do it the next time you go out. For real...it's great! read more

This place is fantastic. If you don't look closely you could miss it. This is your warning. Don't miss Hattie's! They do live music, bingo and taco Tuesdays, and dogs! Yay for a dog friendly bar! They have an AWESOME draft list. We're talking good, local beer and real thought put into what will work and what won't - what's good and what's not. I came in with my dog, Thor, (mentioned in way too many previous Yelp posts and pictures...) and we loved it. My only concern was that once the front door opens, the friendly dogs have access to the parking lot. Thor is a door bolter - and because he's deaf he has no recall = Kel panic attack. Fret not - Jackie is installing an outside fence to be an extra safety barrier in the next few weeks. I love solutions. Also, most of the dogs are very well behaved, unfortunately I kept Thor leashed at the bar because of the open door bolting, but all of the other dogs were very good. This place is a little divey - but in all the nicest ways. Beautiful murals line the walls, cement floors allow the dog friendliness, and good people. Dive bars can be a hit or miss crowd, and this was a total hit. Everyone was super nice and friendly. They do a ton of awesome events and themed nights. And bingo is serious - do not mistake this. They have bingo dabbers (not the Cam kind) and everything. Love it. I will definitely be back here to drink and hang out & probably play bingo, with Thor in tow. read more

BEST SERVICE IN CHARLOTTE. I just loved that bar. They had this 2$ beer, which I loved , and a great selection of other beers, the servers were great and we had such a great time in there, will def coming back. read more

Hattie's is the best! The most welcoming environment in Charlotte. Plus - they ACTUALLY follow mask policies and covid protocols. I feel SO SAFE there and the staff is so wonderful. Don't be a jerk and you'll always have a home at Hattie's! read more

Wikipedia defines Dive Bar as "An informal bar or pub. Such bars are sometimes referred to as neighborhood bars, where local residents gather to drink and socialize." Instead they should've just written Dive Bar = Hattie's. I make frequent trips south to visit family and I always stop by Hattie's on the way down. No gangs, no bikers, no low-lifes. Just cool people, live music on some nights and while I haven't experienced it first hand, I'm told they have bring your pooch days as well. The bartenders know their stuff and the beer selection is top notch. The last time I was there they were building an outside area that wrapped around the building and local artists were painting the walls. I can't wait to see how the finished product turned out. And I can't recommend this place enough. Did I mention it's always easy to get an Uber to and from? So whether you're a local or you're just visiting the area, if you're looking for a comfortable place to hang out and have a drink, Hattie's is the place. read more

Awesome friendly neighborhood dive bar filled with classic games cheap beer,craft beer, friendly dogs, and good people.

Love the staff and the relaxed environment always a good time and if you are having a bad day it is always improved with good drinks music and some favorite microwaveable munchies read more

Great neighborhood bar! They have incredible live music. It's a great place to just go and relax without spending a lot of money. Don't expect much of an atmosphere, but that's what makes the place what it is and what makes it special. Update! 3-27-18 They have made some incredible improvements since my last review. I feel they definitely have upgraded from 4.5 stars to 5 stars. The remodel and the upgrade to the stage were a fantastic touch. Adding Labatts Blue to their lineup took it over the top. Thank you very much!!! read more

Great people. Great drink prices. Great games. Love this place. And open mic night!!!

Just okay. If you're not part of their normal type crowd, no one really wants anything to do with you. Also, watch your tab and prices; better yet, pay as you go and get out. Liked this place better when it was the 3-4 bars previous. read more
