    This little spot is located off of Trade St in between Church and Tryon streets. There was construction going on right outside when we stopped by, so keep an eye out for the sign that says Tilt. As others have said, it definitely has a divey feel to it, and it has the drink specials to match. We stopped in to grab a drink before dinner and were pleasantly surprised. They have lots of seating at the bar and 3 large screen TV's right behind it. If watching sports isn't your thing, they also have lots of games to play including darts, golden tee, pong, connect four, and jenga. Also, they had throwback 90's music playing the whole time while we were there which was another plus for a couple of 90's babies. Of note, we came in close to winter time, but the bartender told us they have an outside bar that's open during the summer time. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a laid back place to grab a drink!

    Matt Spears is the best bartender in Charlotte!!! My sister and I were looking for a place to grab a drink with the hubbies and Yelp took me to this gem. We got a drink at the front bar and danced a little, then we migrated to the hidden back section where we discovered "Spears" (as in Brittney or pickle, as he put it). I asked if they had specials and he asked what the date was and I said, "8/4". So he explained that every 4th they have $4 drinks! $3 domestics and $4 imports & select liquors. Our round for all 4 of us consisted of 4 drinks and 4 shots for less than $30! Spears was so patient and helpful. A lot of bartenders get irritated by drunks...which doesn't make sense because that's 99% of your demographic, but anyways he was dancing and singing while concocting our drinks and it made the atmosphere so much livelier and a happy place to be. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the Charlotte area!

    Enjoying a cold refreshment while being entertained by cool bartender! Great atmosphere with drinking games. A great party bar with no pressure.

    Came a few weeks ago, there was no security. This week there's security enforcing a dress code that is not on the website. Their specials are also not accurate on the website. The website, just don't even look at. It's a cool, chill, casual bar. They have beer pong, jenga, golden tee, and darts to play while you drink whatever beer they have available. It is very affordable.

    Tilt on trade is by far my favorite bar in charlotte. I'm talking the "i'm a regular" and always recommend it favorite. As a woman, comfortability and safety is big. The security at tilt has always been so friendly and welcoming and make me feel safe enough to go into the bar by myself and have a good time without bar paranoia. The bartenders, bozzie, maia, kay, james and others who's names i have a hard time remembering, are attentive and are the types of bartenders to remember you and your drink. the dj's and music is consistent and talented. Des Dollars (best female dj in clt IMO) on tuesday and other great dj's and artists like Ryan aka Rekemstop. Tilt also went above and beyond for hosting my birthday gathering. 10/10 bar 10/10 people

    This bar is so fun and welcoming! Super chill vibes with such a beautiful crows. Friendly service clean floors. 10 out of 10!

    Came here with friends and saw they have drink specials going on everyday of the week. They overcharged us and when we brought it up they said it was an old poster; however, it's on their website... If it's old, then take it down or add dates on the poster. Didn't even apologize or try to refund us...

It was fairly busy, but we walked in without a reservation and were seated indoors right away. We ordered two Guinnesses, the Mussels appetizer (with garlic bread), and split the Fish & Chips plate. Everything was incredible. The cod was perfectly beer-battered, the hand-cut chips were crisp and hearty, and the green peas and tartar sauce rounded it out beautifully. The mussels and garlic bread were also delicious (even ordered a second garlic bread). I would 100% order both dishes again. Our server was also friendly, attentive, and gave honest, helpful recommendations. Prices felt fair for the quality, and the overall experience hit all the right notes. We've already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back. A cozy, welcoming spot for comfort food done right.

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!

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.

We came in at a time when it wasn't really busy, but it took forever for our server to come around. Ordered two glasses of red and the cheese plate only to be told after we received the wine that there was no charcuterie -- at all. Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food. But overall, a really disappointing experience based on what we expected. And we had to hunt down the server to pay so we could get back to the conference on time.

    I love a place that lives their motto. "drink good beer, do good things"…read more The place: wide open with plenty of seating inside and out. I feel even if it's packed, there's still ample room to not feel like sardines. The food: delicious in all of their offerings. Fries were perfectly crisp and not oily. The hummus was well balanced and tasty. The beer: my initial only reason to visit. But tasting their offerings had me sold and ready to give them all my money. So here's why they live their motto. The cans we bought started leaking, we went back and asked if the leakage was a problem. They asked a few questions and profusely apologized and gave us two six packs of their beer with no charge. I tried to pay but they refused. They could have just said "sorry to hear" and sent us on our way but they made us whole. Plus, their code of conduct is awesome and should be a standard for all businesses. We're fans forever. Not only of their food and beer, but their values. Thank y'all so much!!
