Dive Bars · Charlotte, NC

About

A worn-in dive where the leather crowd and bears hang out. The custom leather gear maker is a regular fixture, and the drinks come cheap.

Events here range from underwear contests to toga parties. It's men-only, with a pool table and outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Strong drinks and a no-frills vibe keep regulars coming back.

From the community

Don't bother coming here hoping to meet friendly bears; it's full of unfriendly queens with attitudes. The only positive is that the drinks were strong. Other than that, the place was disgusting and the music was terrible. Don't bring your mom. Gross. Total dive.

“BEARFEST”

Saturday was my spouse and I's second visit. It's an excellent venue with good drinks, great people, and a nice atmosphere.

“There the first week of April”

I'm going to be in that area from April 4th to 6th. I'm bisexual and I want to visit a gay bar. I think this one is my best option. It would be my first time.

“great everyday bar....”

It's mostly a really enjoyable place. The customers are very welcoming. My favorite is the guy who makes custom leather clothing and accessories. I ended up taking off my pants and trying on various items, strapping things here and there. It was a lot of fun, and I don't mind being entertaining while naked or at least half naked.
