Great drinks, delicious food, and a wonderful local spot for shooting pool, listening to a band, or playing cards... Lisa the bartender will get your life together! (You're welcome!) lol This is my go to bar. Where everybody knows your name :))) Have a hot dog, they're the best in Charlotte. read more

Drinks were nice but the food was subpar. Fried mushrooms could have been used as hockey pucks. The one item I came for, I was excited and giddy to try them. It's the only reason we came was false advertising. They offer " Goose Wings" they have chicken wings. What a huge error. There will be no need to go back. read more

Pineville Tavern has a wonderful staff and BEST bar food around! ;- ) Dance floor is small but dancing happens!

Every small town needs a local dive and Pineville Tavern serves those needs for the small but growing suburb of Pineville, NC. I was seeing a movie in the area, so I popped in here with some friends to grab some food and drinks beforehand. I had no idea what to expect and I actually drove past it the first time as it keeps a very low profile and is easy to miss. Inside it was larger than it looked from the outside, complete with a stage for live music, a lot of seating, and pool tables as well! The bar is right by the entrance, and walking in most of the seats were taken by people who seemed to be regulars based on their banter with the bartender, my kind of place. Their food menu consisted of mostly your typical pub fare, and I saw the burgers coming out and they looked dang good so I went ahead and ordered the bacon cheeseburger. It came with a big knife in it along with the tots I ordered. I enjoyed the presentation. The burger was cooked very well, but the bacon was a little dry. Overall I enjoyed the food and vibe of this place and I would definitely come back in if I was in the area. I think to fully appreciate it I need to catch some live music one night! read more

Couldn't find many places to meet my friend for a drink and lunch on fourth of July but we were lucky enough to find that Pineville Tavern was open. Bummer for them having to work on the holiday but we were thankful they were there. This is a nice, clean, dive-ish type place. We sat at the bar and had fantastic service. I had a burger and tots and my friend had wings and tots. We both thought our meals were excellent and will totally be coming back here again. read more

Cannot rate the bar service but lunch is top notch. Large portions cooked the way you want. Service was quick and friendly. read more

This place has a rather unassuming exterior but inside is a really laid back (sort of old school 1990s vibe) restaurant and bar with pool and a medium stage. The bartender is very approachable, easy to talk with, and highly competent. Ok, so the hamburgers here are incredible. I'd go so far as to say that the burgers at Pineville Tavern are the best in the greater Charlotte area. I hear the chef is from New Orleans. If so, that makes sense, because the flavor and texture is A+. As for a side, I recommend the tater tots. read more

Staff was rude. Food was awful. Burger patty was a good size but tasteless. Bun was soggy. French fries were limp and rubbery.

The burger was delicious and generously sized. Free pool tables what more do you want. I do wish it was a litte brighter inside but that's just preference read more

Great food ( he wings are so good) , strong drinks and awesome music. Love the pool tournaments too. It can get busy so grab a table early.

The bartenders were very kind. It's great that they have touch tunes. Playing pool was fun.

Good pub food. Service a bit slow - not enough help. Good atmosphere- pool tables well kept, room for live music, noise level was good. Friendly atmosphere. read more

This is one of the best live music venues in Pineville. I wish the kitchen was open later on the weekends because they have some amazing options. read more

I called ahead to make sure they were open for In-house dinning. They were, so went there and happy to get away from the fancier dinning our local team took us to. They knew the minute we walked in that we were the ones that called and asked about the in-house dinning. Lisa and Christy had some fun with that, but so did we. The service was STELLAR! The food was GREAT as well. This is my kinda place!! We had 6 of the jumbo Parmesan garlic wings and they were fantastic! Cooked crispy and done all the way through too. I had a bacon cheese burger and it was great! Not your typical frozen hockey puck of a bar burger. The drinks were constant and the food was great! What more can you ask for?!? I will definitely be back when I return in a few months!!! read more

Very basic food that you can make at home. But it's cheap. Definitely a throwback to the 1980's or 90's.

My sister and I were in the area recently and needed something yummy to eat before heading back to our hotel for the night. She chose this spot. It wasn't terribly crowded on a Thursday night but there appeared to be some kind of pool tournament going on. There was music playing the background, but it really wasn't too loud which was nice. I like to be able to have a conversation that doesn't require shouting. It took a bit to get a person to take our order, but she was by herself, so we tried to be patient. We both ordered a beer on tap and then looked at the menu for something to fill our bellies. We decided on the fried bologna sandwich because it reminded us of growing up. We got the tater tots on the side. When the sandwich arrived, it was different from what we had as kids, but it was DELICIOUS. I wish I had taken photos. The thick slice of bologna with the cheese between the bread was perfection. The tater tots were cooked crispy, just the way we like 'em. We also ordered some garlic parmesan wings with french fries. The wings were cooked through on the inside and crispy on the outside, just the way we like 'em. The huge basket of fries came out after and they were cooked crispy, too. I don't think we could have come up with anything better to end our long day than this meal and a tasty beer. Don't miss out! read more

I must admit that I was more than a little skeptical when a friend suggested I give this place a shot, as I can definitely see how the outside appearance of the place could come off as a little rough and uninviting to some, but let me tell you that this place is the exact definition of don't judge a book by its' cover, as I was welcomed from the time I stepped in and felt like part of the family from start to finish. The service was very welcoming and friendly, the wings and burgers were well cooked with a lot of flavor, the people were cool and personable even though I looked different than anyone else in the place for the most part. After my initial skepticism wore off, I felt completely comfortable having a few beers and dinner at the bar, so much so that I came back a few nights later for karaoke. I must admit that this isn't Southend or NoDa karaoke, so if that is what you are looking for, you won't find it here, but if you want a low key, fun and memorable experience where first timers are welcomed without judgment and without the parking hassles and fraternity row vibe of some other places with karaoke nights around town, then definitely check out Friday night karaoke as you will have a blast! read more

Was a little sketched out by the appearance of the bar. It's definitely looks like a hole in the wall, but the food/service says other wise. Great live music, cold beer, and delicious food. What more could you ask for? read more

Great food! I chose this place because I was looking for a dive bar. It was exactly what I wanted and my friend loved it too.

All I can say is be careful you spend money. They're nice you don't spend money. They turn on you.

Good food and entertainment. Onion rings were bomb! Shot a few games of pool, server asked us what music we wanted to listen to. Great time overall and great service! read more

Great place for food, a nice drink, and good people. Relax, play a game of pool, meet people from everywhere.

Lovely plant-filled dining area that was comfortable despite the chilly weather. We enjoyed our early evening meals served by attentive staff. All of our various entrees were good (4 of us with different choices). The only very minor complaint was that my mother discovered her rice pudding was slightly under baked when we got home (she took dessert as a carry-out). read more

We're new to the area and were looking for a quick bite before doing some furniture shopping. I pulled up Yelp and found this little gem. It's not much to look at, but the server was friendly. She mentioned that they were known for their hand-pressed burgers so we opted to go for that. I'm a no frills person when it comes to burgers, so I just had the basic hamburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. The burger was to die for - tasty and fresh! The onion rings were perfect as well. Crispy, but not oily. Washed it all down with an adult beverage each. Hubby had a Yuengling and I had a basic vodka cran. This neighborhood bar is worth a stop! We will be back...and maybe next time we will check out the pool tables! read more

This was my first time coming here and all I can say is the food is so freaking good I got two beef hotdogs and tater tot with melted cheese omg I will be going back very soon and customer service was very good read more

Pineville Tavern - Two beef hotdogs with tater tots and melted cheese on the side - Bars Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

Great food, good drinks, okay service. Place on the outside is nothing to write home about, as is the classic dive bar interior, but... Tried the wings and burgers several times and they awesome, some of the best bar food in Charlotte. Zucchini fries are banging. Buff chicken sandwich was a let down. They use chicken tenders and it's not good. Good pool tables. Staff are nice, but a little busy at times, which means that they aren't as attentive as you'd like. Overall, grub here and hang out if you happen to be in their neighborhood! read more

Mike was awesome! Atmosphere was just what I wanted, a local pub with great food. Got the cheeseburger with onion rings. Delicious!

I had heard good things about the bar food here, especially the wings and burgers (of which I love both), so I decided to stop in with my son and check it out. First impression was not great. Since I have never been here, I caught the attention of the person, I assumed, was the waiter to ask and make sure that we should seat ourselves. Instead of an answer I got a bow and quipped "the maître d will be right with you". Sure, everyone thought it was hilarious, but I was just embarrassed. I decided to shrug it off for the moment and sat down. The waiter/bartender ended up being quick and efficient. His manners also improved and he ended up being pretty nice. The wings were meaty, juicy and sauced just right. The bacon was a little overcooked but otherwise, the BLT was good. Onion rings were beer-battered and plentiful. We also had mozzarella sticks. They were a good size and priced right. I may or may not go back just because of how I was initially treated. Typical hole-in-the-wall bar with better than average food. read more

Truth be told, I was leery when my best friend recommended this place. Friends...do not let the outside deter you! We walked in and everyone was Super friendly and welcoming. We sat ourselves and the bar tender quickly came over to take our drink and food orders. She took great care of us and didn't let our glasses go empty! The place is a smidge on the divey side, perhaps 90s era decor - but the food and service more than make up for it! We ordered the mozzarella sticks, perfectly toasted tater tots and BBQ flavored wings with ranch dressing. Finger lickin' good!! HEY... as my Best friend said, "I never promised healthy, just delicious!" There was a band playing some Country music and they were okay. Lots of regulars, all knew we were newbies and smiled and were friendly to us. We will definitely be back for their food, southern hospitality and strong drinks! read more

What can I say? This place has great burgers! In fact, they have one of the best burgers I've ever eaten! They use hand patted burgers and cook them to order. You can specify how you want your burger cooked. They come with french fries, tater tot's or onion rings. I do wish they would offer a salad instead but that's a minor beef no pun intended! I haven't had their wings but many people rave about them! They're supposed to have good hotdogs as well. As some of the other reviews have pointed out, this place is a dive! It has been here for years and is usually full of regulars as most patrons seem to know each other. They have a decent craft beer selection but some of the beers are a little pricey. They do have live music on the weekends and they are usually pretty good bands! All in all this is a great little local place. Cheers. read more

Doesn't disappoint. Hole in the wall place. Got the spicy burger this time and unbelievable. Got fried okra which could feed a family itself. read more

Food was good. Seems to be only 2 people for the bar and waiting tables. Doing a good best they can but seems a person helping cleaning would make it better for them and customers. read more

In town for the funeral of a dear friend. Needed some dive bar vibes and comfort. This fit the bill. Very friendly and attentive service from the staff including the bartender who came from behind the bar to our table for drink and food orders. Other server regularly checked in. Great burger and onion rings. Live music, Whiskey Alibi, was reasonably talented and entertaining, and for the most part while loud, was at a volume that allowed for conversation. Patrons spanned the spectrum, from bikers in leather, to golf shirt clad millennials, to me in my Hawaiian shirt. All peacefully coexisting. read more

This is a hidden gem. The wings are the best in Charlotte but don't miss the burgers also. This place is not fancy but don't miss out. On most Friday and Saturdays, free live music. Total surprise on quality of these bands. read more

We went on a Thursday for lunch. Unfortunately the fryer was down so we couldn't rate the wings, fries and onion rings. Service is 5+ stars. They let us know about the fryer before we sat down. I thought that was really classy. Gave us the chance to decide - stay or go. We stayed. I got the bacon cheeseburger. I asked for a second patty since I knew o wasn't going to fill up on sides and wings. They advised against it as they said 1 would be plenty. They were right. That burger was huge. Cooked perfectly, bacon on point - a nice thick type slice. Only ding - burger came with ketchup mustard and mayo. Menu said nothing about ketchup. I usually don't have any condiments but was in the mood for that mustard mayo combo. I never get ketchup. But it did not detract. That burger was flipping awesome. I got a side of slaw and it was a healthy portion as well. Very tasty. Can't wait to go back and try the wings fries and onion rings. read more

F'n Awesome!!!!! Love this Bar !!!!!!!!! Rode my bike from Atlanta because of the reviews and I had to come see for myself and not disappointed. Besides Lisa is Hot !! read more
