Had always been curious about this little strip mall off independence and Friday night was the time…read moreto check it out. Arrived around 11pm and was surprised to actually see it lively! DJ was playing everything from hip hop, pop and even Spanish (Reggaeton) music. It was a VIBE! It was more of a younger crowd from what it looked like. Mid 20ish+. Snagged two spots at their bar that faces the pool tables. They have 3 pool tables and I believe you have to pay in advanced to snag your turn to play. Stayed only for one drink but we had a great time. Wouldn't mind stopping by again, maybe on a different night jist to see what the vibe is. Its located in a small strip mall with parking available all down the strip.

The last two times I've been to Jekyll & Hyde were elite for completely different reasons…read more Second‑to‑last visit, we'd been having way too much fun wandering around Waxhaw and fully lost track of time. Like, "how is it this late?" energy. We rolled into Jekyll & Hyde expecting the bare minimum--and instead got a staff that was still upbeat, friendly, and actually excited to help us pick food. Everything came out fresh and delicious, which honestly felt like a small miracle given how late it was. Then we went back on St. Patrick's Day, aka controlled chaos. The place was slammed, but the bartenders were absolute pros--friendly, fast, and somehow still smiling. They even had Irish dancers, which took the night from "fun" to "this is why we came out." Both visits were a blast. Whether you accidentally wander in late or show up for a full holiday circus, Jekyll & Hyde delivers good vibes and a good time.

BUYER BEWARE. 25 percent is added to EVERY CHECK. Not just LARGE PARTIES AND not mentioned by the…read moreservers of course. I questioned the server (with the manager standing right there) she said 'we do that for ALL the checks.'There is an 8x11 sign BEHIND the register that says LARGE PARTIES.... We were a party of 2. Buried in the middle of children's drawings. So the sign is wrong, and they get 25 percent no matter what. That's dirty pool. So beware if you go with 1 person, or 20 people. The tip is preset.

It's always felt like a place where you can just be yourself, and that's why I keep coming back decade after decade. That said, one suggestion: it may be time to upgrade the TVs. A several screens are showing wear, one had half the picture visible and the other half dark/scrambled, and the TV along the back patio bar (near the fabulous Kathy) has a noticeable line down the middle. You all have been around as long as I can remember, and this place deserves TVs that match the greatness of the bar itself. Much love, and thank you for all the years of good times.

My wife and I made reservations for Crossroads Sports Bar & Grill, but we realized pretty quickly…read morethat it wasn't necessary -- the vibe is much more casual and walk‑right‑in than "book ahead." The place leans heavily into a dive‑bar feel, and it's very clear this is a locals' hangout. Despite the "Grill" in the name, it definitely reads more bar than restaurant. That said, the manager (owner?) was extremely friendly and welcoming, which set a nice tone for the visit. We split a pepperoni pizza, and it was genuinely very good. I can comfortably recommend. Just be aware of the setup: you order and pay for food at a counter, and if you want an alcoholic drink, you have to go to the bar and pay separately. Not a dealbreaker, but a little clunky. The beer selection was decent, though nothing that really stood out. There's indoor seating, outdoor seating, and bar seating, so you've got options depending on the mood. Overall, Crossroads has its charms, especially if you're into a strong neighborhood‑bar atmosphere, but it's not quite a destination spot for dinner night out.

You can see in the picture that they have standing options for times when you simply want to stand and catch up with friends. Yet, you also have patio seating for eating outside on nice days. Sadly, it was too hot to enjoy doing anything outside. Luckily, the inside was just as nicely decorated. You can see in the picture the cozy bar seating in the center of the space. They have a variety of small and large tables for different parties. The waitress was friendly and quickly served us drinks. She also answered our questions. My friend, who recommended this place, ordered the fish and chips as that is always his go-to. He received a nice size piece of fish and thick cut chips (fries). My other friend ordered the shepherd's pie. As you can see, the presentation was great. He said the mash potatoes were good, yet the gravy was bland. I ordered the ostrich meatloaf with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables because where else can you get ostrich meatloaf?! I enjoyed the meatloaf as it had a unique spiced taste that I assume was the ostrich. It was slightly heartier than turkey meatloaf but lighter than typically beef meatloaf. Similar to my friend who ordered the shepherd's pie, the gravy topping was the weak link. While it was different from the shepherd's pie, it still lacked true flavor. I would recommend it if you want a unique dish in an Irish pub, yet I'd ask the waitress to hold the gravy.
