Petra's Bar

Found this cute little piano bar while waiting for a reservation. Staff was friendly and drinks were strong. Ask about the specials. All around a win! p.s. There are no seats at the bar. You've been warned girls in heels

I had the pleasure of visiting Petra's Bar last night, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance was one of the standout features of this establishment. As soon as I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The dim lighting, cozy seating, and tasteful decor created a perfect setting for a night out.The drinks at Petra's Bar were nothing short of impressive. The bartenders knew their craft well, and my cocktail was expertly mixed. They had an excellent selection of beverages, catering to a wide range of preferences.What truly elevated my evening was the live show happening that night. The performance was energetic and engaging, and it added a dynamic layer to the overall experience. The musicians were talented, and the crowd was lively, making it a memorable night out.In summary, Petra's Bar exceeded my expectations. The fantastic ambiance, good drinks, and the live show made it a night to remember. I'll definitely be returning for more memorable evenings at this establishment.

I have been in and out of this place for so many shows and socials. I love this place from the art gallery, to the patio on Hazy Sundays, and the shows at night. I highly recommend this place to peers I meet from all walks of life. I recommend the pomegranate margaritas and checking out the new gallery every first Friday of the month.

We finally made it to Petra's for a Monday night Jazz show, and it blew us away! Classic divey music bar vibes, great drink options (I'm excited to try their tasty looking cocktails soon), friendly staff, cool patio space out back, and - most importantly - incredible musicians. We couldn't get over how great they sounded. This is a can't-miss spot in Plaza Midwood if you are into music!!!

Really cool spot in Plaza Midwood. Came here for their monthly Pixels & Potions Event where the bar and rooms get entirely transformed. To the left (behind the main room bar) there's a room just for RockBand and then a larger room set up with tables and a ton of board games.The main room is where they bring in TVs and projector screens to set up gaming systems to play video games. If you travel through the small hallway to the beer bar (10 beers on tap) you will see an original Nintendo system and even an Atari system to play. More TVs around tap room with super smash brothers, and more modern video games. The back patio attached to the beer area is nice... a couple tables and benches... folks out here were playing Cards Against Humanity.Overall a great space.... looking at Petra's calendar for more upcoming events, there's "Buzzed Spelling" which sounds amazing as well as really unique events. Hopefully they keep this up since Charlotte's event scene can have more flavor than beer runs and yoga at breweries ;).Parking isn't the greatest in Plaza Midwood, but if you can find a nearby "RAP" - reverse angle parking... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by-48zTu5Ws) on Commenwealth... you are golden. I usually get performance anxiety when people are watching me reverse into those spots... so I just uber.

This place is great. I always attend the Once month Su casa event at the end of the month. The vibe, music, and people bring so much positive energy in this place. It's an experience everyone must try.

Tiki night is everything So divey and cool inside, and while drinks are expensive they come in a sick tiki cup and are delicious!

The doorman will pocket your cash, refuse to give you change, and tell you to do something about it when called out. Hands down the worst experience I've had in Charlotte - inexcusable - I won't be back.

Another great karaoke night on Wednesday! I am really liking the new vibe on Wednesdays- it just feels fun.

This place over the last couple months has brought nights of joy, laughter, music, and great fun! LGBTQ+ friendly and such a friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place to grab a drink, meet up with friends, and listen to some music!
