"Get to Ed’s Tavern in Dilworth before the post-college crowds. Then, snag a back patio table and order the famed, skyscraper-esque mimosa tower. Eventually, seeing Ed’s club sandwich and mac 'n' cheese burger perched in black and white checkered baskets at the table next to you will convince you to order a few bar bites for yourself. There’s not only over 30 taps of regional craft beer here, but over 30 big screen TVs. Inside, it’s cozy brick walls, neon lights, and long tables for groups. If you want to enmesh yourself into Charlotte’s non-flashy, approachable bar crowds that may pull you into a pickleback shot or two, Ed’s is the place. Do note that there are some religious game watchers here, eyes glued to the TVs and hand glued to the Miller High Life like their lives (and their sports bets) depend on it." - Kayleigh Ruller
