Thomas Street is a really cool neighborhood bar attracting people of all walks of life. Service is excellent and very personable. They run specials everyday that are pretty good for bar food. In the past ordering from the menu was really good but now not so well prepared. I would stick to the specials. read more

Thomas Street Tavern has been my go-to bar since the 90s, and I still absolutely love it! The vibe is unbeatable, everyone is friendly, anything goes, and there's zero judgment. 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. read more

Thomas Street has long stood as one of the neighborhood's most beloved anchors--an easygoing Charlotte institution where good food, well-crafted drinks, and a quietly artistic atmosphere all come together. The space carries a relaxed, slightly bohemian charm: the kind of place where regulars settle in comfortably and newcomers feel instantly at home. The menu offers several standouts, but two dishes in particular deserve mention. The chicken tenders--made from whole chicken breast, lightly battered, and fried to a crisp, golden finish--remain a perennial favorite. Equally memorable is the salmon sandwich, prepared with sushi-grade salmon cooked to order and served on a buttery croissant bun. Both options showcase the kitchen's commitment to simple, thoughtful ingredients prepared with care. Service is steady and pleasant, and Tory is consistently a highlight. Professional, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable, she has a talent for transforming an ordinary evening out into something a bit more special. A visit to Thomas Street is always worth the trip--reliable, relaxed, and unmistakably part of the fabric of Charlotte. read more

The service is always on point!!! The ambiance is what I like.. It's not too dark. I had a hot dog and onion rings. Pretty darn tasty. I go there for the craft beer...I'm a regular, so soon as I sit down , they already know what I want read more

Thomas Tavern is my go-to spot! I come here regularly and it never disappoints. The staff is absolutely incredible--always friendly, quick, and they make you feel right at home. The drinks are always on point (and poured very well ). The food is seriously underrated--everything I've tried has been delicious. The overall vibe is 10/10, whether you're stopping in for a chill night or a fun weekend hangout. Easily one of the best bars around! read more

Thomas Tavern has the best wings in town hands down! Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The sauces are spot-on, whether you like classic Buffalo or something a little different. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistently delicious food. If you're a wing lover, this is the place to go! read more

Craving something greasy and satisfying, we decided to hit up Thomas Street Tavern for dinner. I ordered the cheeseburger, and my boyfriend got the meatball sub. I made the mistake of taking a bite of his sub first--and WOW, it almost ruined my appetite for the burger! The meatball sub was amazing--the bread was perfectly toasted, the meatballs were super tender, the sauce was flavorful, and it was loaded with cheese. Total comfort food perfection! The burger was solid, too--nothing groundbreaking, but hey, it's hard to mess up a cheeseburger, right? Overall, a great spot to satisfy those late-night cravings! #ComfortFood #MeatballSubWins #GreasyGoodness #thedaikanexperience.com read more

Great atmosphere. New TVs are needed. Good food. Great bartenders. Just need to improve the experience

While waiting for some church friends, ordered a glass of red wine. In their kindness, since there was little left in the bottle they gave me the generous glass along with the bottle ~half glass remaining in it. Paid for it and was pleasantly surprised. It was, according to the older bartender "It is OUR best bottle of wine, though not THE best bottle of wine" ;-) Had taken a sip of the good wine when my church friends arrived https://www.reschurchclt.org/ourstory Went over to their table along with the glass and bottle. They were a little surprised. Eyebrows raised....though they have been meeting there for years. What da' ya expect? Nevertheless - "freedom in Christ" Right? Galatians 5:1 read more

since 2011 and the start of my stint working on HOMELAND in charlotte ive gone to this joint for lunch with crew,drinking with crew and by myself for both. On and off over the years when in town, I go and usually have a nice meal and drinks.Now back in town for a NETFLIX project the staff has always been intermittently ok. tonight after 1 round , I got up for a pitt stop and returned to my service wiped away. No big whoop,i'll just order another round. Nada. 4 people behind the bar. Nada. 4 people AT the bar. 1st bartender EATING. 2nd,3rd and 4th bartender kabutzing in a corner. Local regulars served .....Me....nada. Say something... the Thanos looking manager/door man asks what the problem is and I tell him I've being seriously overlooked. (I've run,bartended,managed and bounced). rather than sooth my customer soul they present me with my bill. popular place? Fuck em read more

Have been wanting to try this place out because I heard they have good turkey burgers. To turn around and not even order the turkey burger ‍. Decided to order the chicken Philly cheesesteak, which they messed up my order and gave me beef instead of chicken. Had to send that back and wait another 20-25min for the chicken. Our waitress was generous to give us more fries for the long wait. Also as happy to have ate the salad prior or I would of been hangry haha. Our waitress was very friend. Wish I could remember her name because she was very sweet. If you go, ask for the waitress that's 4'11. Bet she's that only one that's that height working there haha. The restaurant itself was nice and plenty of room to move around. Also looked like they had an upstairs patio for people to chill. And a patio out front for seating. There was also people walking in with instruments, so they might have a lose band that plays there sometimes. Recommended you try them out! read more

Been going to Thomas Street for 10+ years and always have a good time here. It's such a staple in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood. The drinks are reasonable priced and the food is always on point. Really good bar food! The games in the back are fun and you can always find someone playing ping pong! The bartenders are attentive and the crowd is mostly chill. read more

First time here and I came for lunch. The service was horrible. The dude seemed like he was having a rough morning. I got a reuben sandwich with fries. The fries was overcooked and had no salt. The reuben was decent but I would say the drinks are much better than the food. $11 for a gin and tonic and it was strong :) The crowd was working daddies on a Wednesday afternoon. The ambiance is relax and chill. read more

Old school Charlotte pub in Plaza Midwood. Menu is full of sandwiches and sides at affordable prices. The okra is off the chain good and the nachos are a staple. The place has a great atmosphere if you like low key. Good for kids too with bar games like shuffleboard and billiards. read more

One of the most iconic neighborhood bars in charlotte. Thomas Street Tavern is truly a melting pot for all different kinds of people. From old Charlotte natives watching basketball, to Plaza Midwood hipsters playing ping pong this place really does feel like the kind of bar where everyone is welcome. They have pool tables, ping pong tables, and even the ring on a string game along with a total of 3 bars, 2 outside and 1 inside. I must confess I have not tried the food here yet. Typically when I come with friends it is for one reason, to enjoy some reasonably priced drinks and have a good time. I especially like to come on a nice day and sit outside at the patio bar. Not much else to say but if you want a cool bar that is just a little bit divey then stop on by. read more

My first time at Thomas Street Tavern was enjoyable. The barbalo wings were perfectly cooked, a good size and tasty. The picture is a partial order due my eagerness to eat them. The tavern was clean and well staffed. I look forward to going back. read more

This place has been a second home for years. All the staff treats you like family! The food speaks for itself, they run out of ribs almost every Sunday! Ellen is always bringing her A game, even if it means climbing a ladder to clean the display bottles and somehow remains to keep her hair flawless and a smile on her face! I love my T Street Family and Curtis too!! read more

TST was always a hidden gem for us before the pandemic, fairly priced food, drinks & beer! We came for a quick lunch, I got the Jessica's tweety bird with fries per recommendation of Mikey and it did not disappoint. The garlic toasted bread was what set this sandwich off. The hot wings were nice and spicy, the perfect hot! My hubs devoured the hot dog so I didn't even get to get a bite, but I made up for it with the okra as that is always fried just right! Mikey made sure he always had a full beer! This is a bar feel, so don't expect a fancy date night. Visit at night for the outdoor fun and live music on the weekends! read more

Thomas Street Tavern is a very discriminatory close minded environment. I walked in to the Tavern this evening wearing a Trump shirt and was openly ridiculed by multiple patrons - who openly called me "disgusting" and referred to me as a "cunt" due to my shirt. A woman eventually started screaming at me and my husband and both of us were quickly kicked out by the manager due to us defending ourselves against a liberal mob who would refused to leave us alone. I was never as humiliated or had as many insults screamed at me in my entire life. I thought this was America. Although I did not engage, management clearly supported this mob mentality. I was NOT screaming, cursing. - yet, it was me who was escorted to the door for being a "problem." Thomas Street Tavren is the most close minded, ignorant environment I have ever been in. American fascism at its worse. read more

This bar always has a very diverse group of customers, there is something here for everyone of all ages.

T Street never fails me. Excellent service from Christine. Food arrived very quickly. The chimichanga was plentiful. I brought the other half home for dinner. (It tasted just as good reheated.). It comes with choice of a side. I had the side salad. Christine brought the salad out right away and before I could finish it both the chimichanga and my friend's wings arrived to the table. Wings were on the money and served with plenty of celery and choice of ranch or blue cheese. It's a different atmosphere for a Saturday lunch compared to night seevor a Panthers game day. Neither are good or bad, just quieter and more subdued for lunch in the fall than a gorgeous spring or early summer day when everyone comes to enjoy the sunshine on the front patio or back bar patio. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood, looking forward to patronizing and supporting local businesses, however Thomas Street Tavern WILL NEVER GET A PENNY OF MY MONEY. The server treated my husband and I like second class citizen with his neo-Nazi attitude. From the moment we walked in and sat down he was down right nasty and rude. Making comments under his breath and throwing menus at us. He wiped our table then threw the cotton towel in the trash dramatically while muttering derogatory comments again under his breath...I tried to look past that seeing that we visited this bar before and sat at the bar and the service their was friendly and our bartender was beyond nice. I knew it was time to go when I ordered a Tito's with club soda and my husband ordered a water and when he returned he shoved a plastic cup cup that one gives a child at a restaurant with a lid on it and my husband was served his drink in a proper glass. When I took a sip it was just plain club soda. When I asked the server he didn't even look at me but rolled his eyes and said "well there is no check so you can just leave" and walked away. My husband was furious and stood to say something to defend me but I said "He's not worth it let's just go" and as we walked out he was laughing and said "Good Riddance". I truly believe he was racist, the over all vibe and treatment we received more than proved that. I feel if you are an Anglo person you will love this place. However if you are a brown, black or a biracial couple I recommend you steer clear of this place unless you feel like you want to travel back in time when minorities couldn't sit at the lunch counter and have hateful diatribes uttered at you just because they can with no fear of consequence. If the owners care at all about their business they would be keen to look into how the staff is treating people of color...or not and continue to propagate hatred and ignorance. read more

$2 pbr and solid service and great atmosphere. If you're a dive bar fan this is a great spot.

Stopped by for a burger that had so much gristle in it I stopped eating. Bathrooms were filthy and my server looked like the hadn't showered in a few days. Yuck. Never again read more

Talk about a step back into time, this is the FIRST bar I ever visited when I was coming to CLT over 25 years ago, and guess what, it has not changed one bit. It is the same nostalgic shit hole dive bar as it was back then, and not in a bad way. It has got a chill, old skool, vibe that is hard to find these days in the age of ultra chic bistro's and breweries. You know, where the kool kids hang out. What you will find here, is hard working middle class good people. I went with an assorted order of Cajun Dry Rub and Teriyaki wings. Decent wings, above average. I did not have a problem with them. My wife got the sirloin dish, I am not sure what it was on the menu, but it was sirloin with two sides ---- asparagus and fried okra. I am thankful to her, she shared and it was really great. The sirloin had a - sort of, what I would call fajita seasoning, it was really great. Cut into strips and cooked well. The asparagus was actually awesome and so was the fried okra. She asked for a side of creamy horsey sauce and it was perfect. Overall, we always have fun, it is just a great time, combined with great bar food makes for an awesome night. read more

First stop in and enjoy the culture and history of Charlotte. Now sit down and prepare for the mouth orgasm of a life time. I was not ready for my Grouper to be as good as it was. I felt like I should have a cigarette after eating it. Our server Dillon thanks for the wonderful service. They also have a full bar and the best Chicken wings in town.

Horrible service. At the back bar and the bartender is literally serving all of her friends instead of customers who have been waiting way longer. Then I made my friends close out so we could go somewhere where we could actually get service and it took her forever to close them. Will never go back. Like who holds cards anymore?

Chad and Jamie are great. Dexter and Nappy are okay, too. Good food, cheap drinks. Solid service and classic bar ambiance.

Thomas Street is one of our favorite places to drink on the weekends and not only is the nightlife relaxed and entertaining but we were happy about the food as well. The menu is a typical bar menu but the prices are reasonable. The grilled cheese was only $6 and had a big side of fries. Must say we will definitely be back to eat as well as drink. Also the staff is cool read more

Came in with a coworker for drinks on a Sunday night. We got a tip from the hotel bar that plaza midwood would still be busyish and to definitely stop into Thomas Street so we made it the first destination. We were honestly more interested in catching up and chatting while sucking down cocktails at the bar, but we did check the place out and ventured out on to the notorious patio. I wouldn't necessarily call this place a dive bar, but for sure had the makings of one. Plus it had a neighborhood vibe and felt welcoming too. The cherry on top was that the bartenders were super nice and attentive making sure the drinks were never empty... nice work. read more

What a nice Sunday funday atmosphere! I enjoy the patio and bar area outside . The drinks are cheap and the food is pretty reasonable . The only downside was the chips and salsa wasn't good . Order fries if you need something on your belly without getting a whole meal, they were delicious ! I also tried the Mango Cart beer and it was great !!! Found my new favorite beer ! read more

Gah! This place is always such a disaster late night. See also, #iamold. On my most recent visit, I had to elbow my way to the bar and wait forever to order drinks. Beer selection was meh so I went with a margarita. It was sickly sweet -- if I hadn't watched the bar tender pour in tequila, I would have sworn it didn't have any alcohol at all. After said drinks, I was ready for a visit to the little girls' room. Line for bathrooms stretched almost to the front door. One of the ladies in line with me said it was taking so long because girls were "doing blow" in there. If that doesn't capture what a classy place this is, I don't know what else will. Oh, wait! Maybe this'll help convince you... While there, we watched a man being carried out in a head lock by 3 bouncers. He was bleeding from no less than 5 different spots. Once booted to the sidewalk, he stood around literally gushing blood onto the street while the cops that seem to be permanently stationed out front tried to clean him up. Never again, folks. Never again. read more

Came across this place by luck and had a great time. Wim tapley & the cannons were playing and gave a great show so glad I was able to experience that.
