Tommy’s is the perfect little traditional dive. There’s nothing pretentious about it. Just a friendly local Irish style pub. The staff are friendly, helpful, and sometimes delightfully cheeky. And the regulars there are very welcoming.
They regularly host some of the most interesting events in Charlotte. They have a plethora of talented live musicians performing there. They have Shindig every month where they play retro music from past decades - a different era is themed each month, from the Sock Hop all the way to the Oughts. And (during the warmer seasons) they project a classic movie on the side of the building. People show up with their camping chairs, blankets, and snacks (it’s super cool!)
It’s also worth mentioning that there’s another pleasant hidden surprise for people who don’t drink or who limit their alcohol intake. Tommy’s has the best non-alcoholic beer and cocktail selection of any bar I’ve ever been to. I love that I can switch to an NA beer later on, to make sure I’m safe to drive home.
They do not serve food there but there are plenty of nearby restaurants, and the regulars just eat their takeout at the bar. There’s even an excellent sandwich place conveniently located right next door in the same shopping center.
If I lived closer, I would hang out there...

Its a great place to catch a FREE show and they have a great variety of talent almost every night if you're looking for something to do! They have great prices on drinks, too! If I had to choose one bar for the rest of my life, hands down, it would be Tommy's Pub! Thank you...
Read moreUPDATE This has turned kind of funny. Updating review. 🤣
I left an accidental 1 star review. Instead of the owner asking what went wrong and how it could be fixed, to which I would have then realized my mistake deleted the review, he makes a snarky comment bashing me on good reviews I've given other places.
To respond, the biggest factor in my reviews is customer service. A holier than thou attitude is not good customer service. Due to my initial mistake I'll bump it up a...
