Matthews Social House

Amazing service! Our bartender was friendly, quick and helpful. It was lively and fun on a Saturday afternoon despite ice and snow on the ground. We didn't eat there, but I don't think they were serving lunch.

On a visit to Charlotte, North Carolina, this apparently was the place to be. Matthews is definitely a small town in my opinion and the fact that this amazing family friendly bar was opened up was just the perfect addition. After I was picked up from the airport, we headed straight to the bar top and ordered some whiskey drinks and burgers from the food truck outside. Just to be clear, this is a whiskey bar. How can you go wrong with this place. I ordered the jalapeño burger, which was pretty good, but I honestly could've used more of a kick. My spice levels are not the same as everybody else's so it could be plenty for you. If being inside doesn't work for you and or your family, there is a large outdoor space with plenty of picnic tables, cornhole and even an ice cream truck. There was an update on Instagram that they opened up their outdoor bar as well, which is very convenient if you need to keep an eye on your kiddos. I honestly would be a regular if I lived in the area because this would definitely be a great place to come hang out with my friends on any given day.

I had a friend visiting from Los Angeles and it was later in the evening when we headed out. This place was open, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! Good drinks, I played pool for the first time in years, met some nice people. The crowd was jovial and the bartenders were cool.Thank you for a great evening! I will be back with more people. :D

I'm hesitant to write this post. Not because MSH doesn't deserve five stars, but because I feel this is an awesome hidden gem in Matthews. Matthews Social House is a small pub stashed just off the main drag in town, with a comfortable quaint bar area inside and an area as big as the pub itself out front.Outside offers up many picnic tables for gathering with friends, corn hole, and an ice cream food truck conveniently located just to the right of the pub if you have kids to bring with you. There's also a food truck serving up burgers and, from what I hear, amazing fries just to the left of the pub. The burger truck can be ordered from inside the bar. The inside of the pub is relatively small, that to me is what makes this place great. It will get crowded at night and on the weekends but it's the perfect type of place to grab a pint after work and not feel like your in a gymnasium. It's comfortable with 50 people or two. Feel free to check this place out, but don't go telling every one of your friends about it, I don't need them taking my seat at the bar.

I stopped by MSH after my Sunday league soccer game ... we took a 6-0 beating, but man did this place fix me right up. Beers were ice cold. Food was incredible - one of the best pub burgers that I have EVER had in my life. Wow - just WOW. And the fries were also amazing! Riley and Jacko behind the bar were stellar! This place is a great addition to the area. Do yourself a favor and go check them out. -Marco

Having known the owners (Gary, Jacko and Steven) of this new place in Matthews for a long time, one of them for over 4 years, sorry , this is a biased review. Lol. Mattys SoHo sits in a small brick building behind temple mojo, just off Trade street in my sweet little town of Matthews, NC . The bar area is quaint with low ceilings and dim lighting with plenty of seating in a large area with a pool table. There are other board type games dotted throughout the place as well. The decorations of the vintage pictures, whiskey jugs/pitchers, and various Irish framed posters make it feel like you're in the cozy den of some really good friends. These guys will make you feel like family right away . (Including Downtown Lewis Brown who spins an amazing Playlist on the weekend, & also makes a delicious cocktail) There are 2 TVs situated over the bar for those who need a sports fix. A big plus for me is knowing that there are bathroom checks done ! This place can get quite busy in evenings and weekends and I personally like when there is toilet paper and soap at all times and the toilets are tidy. Lol. There are plenty of drink options for all tastes with plenty of beer on tap (including Guiness ), bottles of brew, cocktails, wine or seltzer. If being inside isnt your thing, then have a seat outside on one of the many, many picnic tables . Hungry? , try The Social Burger also on the premises and Nixon will serve you up an amazing burger and fries. (Including a vegan option). Get your sweet tooth filled at The Local Scoop icecream truck in the family friendly outdoor shared space. Matthews has exploded with food and bev options for just about anyone, add Matthews Social House to your list of places to try, you won't be disappointed.

Look... here's the reality. It's a real pub.... And it's great. Drinks are great. People are great. Burgers are great. Bartenders are great. Atmosphere is great.

We had a great time there. It amazes me that there are still parents that refuse to discipline their kids. Food was great beer was cold

Attended a birthday party for my son-in-law that was set up by my daughter. Had not heard of MSH but will tell you we had a very enjoyable time. One of the owners, Jacko, made us feel at home in his Irish pub/whiskey bar and honestly felt we found a bit of Dublin in Matthews. Numerous offerings of whiskey, bourbon and beer - many on tap. No food but often a food truck is parked nearby or you can bring from several nearby restaurants. Check it out. You may just find it to be a favorite.

$8 Guinness and the people at bar were unfriendly and seem to hate outsiders. Paying top dollar for drinks and getting dirty looks sitting at the bar is not a good time. I can get cheaper Guinness at the Irish Pubs in Charlotte and the patrons would be much friendlier.
