Connolly's On Fifth

Went to Connolly's for an early bite and beer. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to make room. I might recommend getting a reservation if you're going on a busy night for dinner. The service was truly excellent and everyone was wearing a smile. The food was great although we only had simple burgers. They have a nice selection of beers and a good drinks. They have Magners, Smithwicks, and other beers that are often hard to find on tap.

Oh Connolly's....the memories I have here from my early 20s when I was still new to Charlotte. Such good times. I miss the outdoor patio but I can't fault the owners for cashing in on what I'm sure was an amazing pay day. This place feels authentic as an Irish pub, during the day at least. At night it gets crowded and a little rowdy. In my younger years it's what I enjoyed the most about it but the older I get the more I feel out of place. Such is life though! While it feels like I may have outgrown this bar I still enjoy coming in for nostalgia. If you are walking around uptown in the early evening and looking for a dark bar to pour a proper Guinness then Connolly's is your place. If you are out late at night and looking for a packed bar that feels like a college house party, then Connolly's is also your place. The experience is usually going to be determined by how late it is. It can't be denied though that Connolly's has long been one of the most popular Uptown Charlotte establishments and even if it feels like they are only a shell of their former self they still manage to carry their charm that I once enjoyed so much.

I had a great time at Connolly's on Fifth. I enjoyed some top shelf scotch while dancing with my friends and enjoying the bartenders fun playlist of tunes. It gets loud as it gets closer to midnight so if you want to have more of a conversation with someone go earlier rather than later in the night on Saturdays. Bathrooms were clean and well attended to. Bartenders are super friendly and make thoughtful drink recommendations.

Cozy and intimate, but overall a pretty lackluster bar. The location is effortless to get to and the staff is ultra friendly, both a major plus! The decor was thoughtful and dim making it a nice chill spot for listening to live music, however there isn't a drink menu nor any snacks available for purchase.

Great spot-Any day of the week, the place is hopping with locals and visitors. I was in town for a convention and stumbled across this gem. The business and locals embraced me-this place was top notch. A must visit if you're in town.

I never negative review places, but this place set its self up for this review. I went upstairs and ordered a simple double sex on the beach (the easiest drink to make). It tasted like ass. I requested more peach schnapps to remedy the sour taste. The bartender gave me the worst reaction and added more schnapps. It still tasted bad. She flipped her hand to shew me off from her presence. I went downstairs to see if another bartender could make it again. This guy had an Irish accent and took on my request. I tasted it and it still tasted like ass. I asked him if he could correct it and he took both incorrect drinks and tossed them in the trash. He told me to fuck off. I was never disrespectful to either of these bartenders. Why was this such a shitty experience when I was having fun and just trying to have a simple drink????

Possibly the most authentic Irish pub in Charlotte. The upstairs wasn't open on Wednesday night and there weren't that many seats downstairs. My husband enjoyed his Guinness.

We had our friends 40th birthday party upstairs and the host Amanda was top notch and great!! Her and the bartenders were great with anything that was needed and very friendly. Amanda really went above to help my friend make this event go smoothly. Would recommend them for an private event if you want a food atmosphere and good vibes.

Best traditional Irish bar in Charlotte! My father was in town from Indiana... Bartender took him upstairs and gave him some souvenirs to take home. Really appreciate the extra attention. The bartenders give. The vibe is totally awesome.

The bartender shawn or shaun idk how to step his name sorry, came up to us and asked us to stop saying the world is fire? it made us want to leave, like wtf we were literally saying fire in a funny way. he was like ur annoying me...sorry that im drunk and im with my friends.
