This is the first Saint Patty's Day party here since they took over the old beer temple building on trade Street. I think everyone that lives in Matthews is here! Anyone who likes to have fun anyways. Good times good drinks great atmosphere good music! Only complaint is pendant light hanging in front of the TV blocking my view while I'm hoping Man City whips the snot out of West Ham. Check it out when you can! Cheers!

I kid you not it took at least 30 minutes to get my food. Food was good but you can't really screw up hot dogs or onion rings.

Not busy yet so we were able to snag a table right infront of the pool table. My husband and friend were able to play multiple rounds of pool while waiting. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. Gave great recommendations. Tried their Irish sausage & hot honey pizza. All was delicious and had no complaints. They had someone there performing for the night which was pretty good but I only got to listen to two songs as we had to leave for the movies. Great hangout spot if you want a chill night or grab a quick bite and drink before the movies.

Gianna M. is a liar. My fiance and I were talking to her friend and she got upset and hurt because…read moreshe was having a great time talking to us. We never picked up any negative vibes from her "coworker". We had never met these ladies before and my fiance and I were enjoying meeting new people at the bar. Gianna M. seemed hurt that we took all the attention away from her. Her father was a fellow alumni from Independence Highschool (Class of 85) and we were talkng with each other about the upcoming reunion that I was going to be DJing at as well as member of the graduation 'class of 85". Gianni M. Father was very polite to us. Gianni M. the whole time I was talking to her Father had this defeated look on her face and just looked angry the whole time we were in there. She just snapped on us when my beautiful fiancé and I were talking to her friend. She was happy speaking to us and never got any weird vibes from here when we were pleasantly talking to her. Gianni M. got jealous and freaked out on us and said" Hey you are talking to my girlfriend" in an angry manner. We were shocked and insulted by her and Gianni M. is the reason we left angry. Booby is a nice guy and to Bobby I apologize that it didn't work out that we could stay but Gianni M. made us feel like we had hit on her girlfriend. Also Gianni M. i'm not 60 years old and we weren't hitting on your 'girlfriend". I was with my beautiful fiancé and you pissed both of us off. Get Happy Gianni M. !!!

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.

It was supposed to come with oysters, but they were out which is unfortunately why I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars (I'm sorry about that but it's just because it was my birthday and I was so ready for some oysters with my crab legs). Fantastic place with fantastic service and fantastic bar vibes. I would absolutely become a regular here if I was a local!

Sorry but this location is a no for me.

It's a cute restaurant with a patio and live music was playing the night I visited. We had a great waitress who was thoughtful and attentive. I ordered a plain burger and brussel sprouts. The burger was great this time around. The brussel sprouts were ok, more on the vinegar based side than I'm used too. Our waitress returned them and we got different sides. The broccolini was amazing. The fries were ok since some were not completely cooked. The burger in the photo doesn't look like much but it was 9 out 10 in my book.

Went to a concert in Charlotte and stayed in Matthews…read more When the concert ended at 9:30, out options in Matthews for a bite to eat was limited. We landed at J and H at 10:15 (open to 11). Was a little concerned because the bartender was not very attentive. After about 10 minutes she grabbed her purse and left. The other bartender stepped up and asked what we wanted. Everything changed! Laney was great, first with cocktails and then quickly getting us our food. Ordered the artichokes and was a little disappointed. The best I can say was they were okay. Little dry and could have used a sauce. Split a sandwich and was great. Overall nice environment, good food and service good (finally)

The pizza was cooked nicely and all the toppings refresh. One thing that we noticed when ordering pizza is we like mushrooms on our pizza and you could tell they use fresh mushrooms, not canned mushrooms. Also ordered wings on the side and their wings were excellent. Got the hot honey wings and they were just the right amount of sweetness. Have gone back a few times already and really enjoy their pizza.

Great food and fast service! Will be back very soon for a convenient lunch. Great wings!read more
