Thirsty Beaver Saloon

Fun place for a beer and nostalgia. Nice place to start a beer walk. In a great section of town.

Always a great time at the Thirsty Beaver!Great little dive, awesome people, live music!

Hands down one of my favorite hidden spots in Charlotte! I've been to Charlotte many times to visit my brother. We love strolling through the city and bar hopping, along with checking out new spots and grabbing a bite to eat. The first time I came to this bar, we brought our mom before going to see a concert down the road. It was such a chill atmosphere and vibe. The drinks were decently priced, there was a jukebox that played oldies and classics, along with art all over the walls that brought you through a time capsule. I highly recommend coming here whether if you are pregaming, bar hopping, want a drink and chill before the night begins or ends! The service was great too.

Awesome dive bar! Our friends brought us here. Super chill spot for some relaxing beers and a good time. Awesome staff

Five stars because I absolutely love a great dive bar and that's exactly what this is. Like many, I first heard of it after Mick Jagger posted a photo of himself having a beer outside. Inside it's a total honky tonk vibe done with authenticity. Lots of Waylon, Willie and Hank. The bartender (a big dude in a cutoff tshirt) looked like a bruiser but couldn't have been nicer. To top it off, the bar is a small old school square building wedged between a pair of modern apartment buildings. Couldn't be more perfect!

This is my favorite place in Charlotte. Basic drinks but atmosphere is incredible. Best dive bar!

Solid pour and an amazing jukebox.. From Mel Tillis to Warren Zevon to Pavement. Great dive in Plaza

This place is an institution, and one that needs to be supported for the simple fact that it has withstood the scurge of gentrification, and held its ground against the sterile yuppy condo, juice bar and yoga studio-ism that has plagued cities' culture and character under the guise of "progress".This place is the quintessential definition of "dive bar", and we wouldn't have it any other way. You want a cold beer, a shot of whatever, and a good convo w/the bartender while 20 of your closest "strangers who aren't yet friends" laugh the kind of laugh you only hear when people in a place are truly happy...that's what you come here for. The history, the stories, the memories that are about to be made after you cheers and tap the bar top; all that is wrapped up in an unkempt but loveable hole-in-the-wall facade snuggly defiant between two condo Goliaths in Plaza Midwood. If you ever wanted to see a Beaver lovingly flip the bird, then head on over! And, come thirsty! Cuz while the drinks are cheap, the history is so very rich!

If you wanna go to a dive bar in Midwood - here you are cheap cold blue moons, dog-friendly inside & super laid back in all the right ways.

If you're a country music fan, you owe it to yourself to catch a band here on a Sunday. Yes I said a band, this place is tiny, but somehow a full band can fit. Beer is cheap and cold, the regulars are super cool and very welcoming, and the acoustics sound just like a recording studio. Parking here is very limited if you have a motorcycle, nonexistent if you don't, so you will need to park somewhere else. The music lasts from 6 PM until whenever they decide to pack up and leave. But it will last until at least 8 PM.
