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.
