10 Non-Brewery Hangouts in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Billiards, darts, live music, sports on TV, and retro arcade games like Big Buck Hunt make up the simple accouterments at this rustic-themed bar popular among locals. Patrons are welcome to have food delivered to the front door, so there’s no reason to leave. With daily beer specials starting at $2 for Busch or Miller cans, a full bar, wine, and locations in Mint Hill, Plaza Midwood, and the newly opened one in Pineville, the only requirement is to leave your stress at the door." - Shindy Chen

9 Best Dive Bars in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Two Buck Saloon looks like it was snatched from Montana and dropped into Charlotte. On the inside, it’s less honky-tonk and more cozy. It stays true to its titular name, offering a different $2 beer every day alongside a classic liquor bar. The giant Jenga and scattering of TVs and pool tables keep visitors entertained. For those feeling fearless, there are couches (sit at your own risk). Weekdays definitely have a laid-back, live music crowd, while weekends lean a bit younger and party-er." - Kayleigh Ruller

If you want a place that feels like your second home… this is the spot. Jess and Nate are the most wholesome bartenders. Their food menu is absolutely appropriate. I am hoping they add pickled eggs to the mix one day. Love.

Easy to see why it's rated top 5 dive bar in Charlotte. Best bar I've been to in a long time! Great people, great darts, & loved the open mic night! Safe & Friendly!

Now as saloons go, this is a fun one. The pool tabes are nice, the pours are strong, and the atmosphere is just divey enough. But maybe too much fun for mi hijo! He met up with a bad crew, some bad boys who could've gotten him into a lot of trouble. I'm not going to be specific. Lucky for mi hijo, he's had some good training at home and knows better. He did make a bad decision, though, and when he got home, he paid for it, alright! I don't think he'll do that again!

I recently came to Charlotte to visit my old college roommate and to attend the US Open. My friend had to go to work the following day so I had the night to myself. I decided to ride solo and hit up a local dive bar in the area. I am a really particular about the bars that I go to but love a great dive bar. I found the Two Buck Saloon on the internet and thank god I did. I arrived around 6 pm and walking up to the front door I knew I had struck gold and found the perfect place for me. The outside area was incredibly cool with an old western theme to it and the front door even swung open, making me feel like a cowboy. I instantly walked up to the bar and got myself a $2 PBR on tap. The place was pretty empty as it was a Monday but the atmosphere was still awesome. The music was top notch, playing classic rock all night long. I was by myself so I didn’t know what to do with myself, however the Two Buck Saloon offered me many options. Someone must’ve left $8 in the Buck Hunter game and I played that for 20 minutes. They had pool tables and darts that anyone can play too. I decided to order my specialty drink, an Irish Car bomb. The waitress told me if I order one, I have to get a second one with it for no extra charge. Absolutely incredible. The place allows you to bring your own food into the bar so I ordered a couple pizzas and ate them in the bar. Some time had passed at this point and I had felt like I had been there for only an hour. Time in the Two Buck Saloon does not seem to move. Finally my friend got off work and joined me for a couple of cheap beers on special that day ($2 Miller High Life). We played darts and watched the NBA finals on their many TVs. Overall I spent about 6 hours in the Two Buck Saloon and it was without a doubt one of the best bars I had ever been to. I can’t say enough about how awesome it was there. It really lived up to its name because my tab for 6 hours was only $32!!!! This is by far the definition of the perfect dive bar and it should be a historic landmark. If you don’t like to have fun, then the Two Buck Saloon is not for you.

Great place to enjoy the weekday evenings with friends! Indoor and outdoor sitting with fun games including Pool tables, Dart games and Jenga or just watch your favorite sport on TV. Cheaper beer options available.

It's a cool spot! Good pours, good souls. A few visits aho, some chick's got in a fight and beer got thrown on me, but the tea was worth it! I still visit as often as possible.

Fun little bar with good bartenders, pool tables, darts, and sofas. No food to speak of though; you'll have to visit the (excellent) Mexican food truck outside for that. Atmosphere was perfect at first but got way too loud once the live music started up.

Popped in briefly for a nightcap. Very friendly and attentive service. Live music had just begun and was at the right volume to be able to listen and still converse. Would've stayed longer but needed a bite and the food truck had just left.

What more could you ask for in a bar than Big Buck Hunter and cheap drinks? This place is quite a gem when it comes to bar options in the Pineville area. They don't serve any food, but they have TouchTunes, live music, and great staff.

Surprised This place doesn't have more reviews. A friend wanted to visit based on a popular tik-tok bartender that works here. Unfortunately she was not working (she told people but we didn't check first) but the place itself was a win to me. Fun little bar. Looks like you dropped it right out of a cheese movie set- in a good way. Parking in the lot. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very spacious. Is wide there were some games (ex-Jenga and darts) but it was already busy at 8pm so we didn't get to play. The bartenders were busy but not too much. I asked for a Manhattan if it wasn't too high maintenance (I thought it might be) but was told they didn't have all the ingredients. Opted for their "seltzer" special. It was vodka soda with a pump of syrup. Wow these are some strong drinks. Not too bad at $9. They also have a lot of drink specials. Think simple but plentiful in terms of options. The workers were super nice and the crowd felt pretty inclusive and kind. We heard live music outside a we were leaving- sad to miss it. The bathroom situation is awful. Basically one stall for all the women. I heard maybe there is a porta potty?

Alec and Austin were AMAZING!!!! We just went out looking for a place to play pool and found Two Buck Saloon on yelp. We got there and got some drinks and shortly after that we found out they had live music playing tonight. That was the best band I've heard at a dive bar in a long time!! They played so many great songs and they took literally almost any request from people in the crowd and they played them perfectly! We are on vacation here but if we are ever back in town I'll be looking to see where Alec and Austin are playing because their music was the highlight of our night. The bar was super fun and the bartenders were nice and polite. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a fun night. Only warning is the bathrooms suck lol. Not literally but there is only a single bathroom for the women and the line was long all night so time it right and get in line before you REALLY have to go because the line did not move fast at all.

Don't use a credit card or bank card at the Albermarle address... Used my credit card there and the next week 8 charges were charged to it...

Part dive bar part honkey tonk this place is perfect for a low key night out with friends. They don't serve anything fancy but have great specials including $2.00 Busch Lights. Yes it's that kind of bar, if you are looking for craft cocktails you will sorely disappoint. What they do have are pool tables, couches, dart boards, and live music usually just a small acoustic set up. The place is full of people just having a good time. The bar area is small and there aren't a lot of seats. Most people order their drinks and then take them back to their table or couch. For that reason when the place is full the bar area can be packed but they typically do a good job serving everyone and moving the line along. According to some of the other reviews one of their bartenders has a huge social media presence but I don't use TikTok so I'll just have to take their word for it!

I'm surprised none of the reviews here are mentioning Michelle, one of the bartenders who has over 3 million followers on TikTok. My friend and I both love her videos and are in town for a wedding. We stopped by to meet her and she was so kind. We got there before it was busy so she took the time to chat with us about some of her more popular videos and I got one of the drinks she posted recently. The other bartender working was great as well and they were both really knowledgeable and quick. I loved the atmosphere here, only thing that would be nice is to have more than 1 toilet for the womens bathroom, the line got pretty backed up. But I am really happy we added this to our trip!

Came here for the first time for their first anniversary. I have been driving by almost every day and never knew it was such a cool place! There was a live singer, Savannah! She was amazing! The place felt a little bit like we are in Nashville! People were singing along and the drinks kept coming! There is plenty of outdoor seating and the inside has pool tables and other bar game. Definitely a nice alternative to all the other places in Plaza Midwood and NoDA.

Michelle is amazing!! I recommend everyone go there, and leave her a good tip! She works hard!

I usually love this place but not tonight. It was redneck central where they were giving service to the people most likely to give you a fifty cent tip. I hope it improves but they need to service the patrons that actually know how to tip.

Really fun dive bar and laid back atmosphere, this watering whole is a great addition to the neighborhood. The diversity of characters that come too this bar really add to the charm of the place. Especially one lady I met. I was sucking down jager tonics like my life depended on it and threw some Crazy Frog on the jukebox next thing I new I was chatting up some lady who was a fellow Frog head. She even offered to drive me home since I was tipsy. We hopped in her Beetle and sped off into the sunset. I will return to this bar.

Not a diverse atmosphere. Felt very uncomfortable. Maybe it was the night I went but don't want to go back to find out.

This is a very cool place. I came here today for a Cheats pop up event. That is a whole other 5 star review by the way. Man at 12:20 pm Sunday this place was packed. So many awesome, cool, and friendly people here hanging out having brewskies. The outside has plenty of seating for a lot of people and still social distance. I also love dog friendly places and Two Buck Saloon is def one of those places. I quickly made friends with a puppy dog while waiting on my cheese-stake. Service is awesome, fast, and friendly. It was even a rainy day but that didn't matter or bother anyone. I will def be back for some hangouts with family, friends, and puppies.
