Editorial Review for Providence Road Sundries – by Susan McDevitt
Split Personality
Tucked to the side of Providence Road, the Sundries is one of those low-profile places you might easily pass by. Once you find it, though, you'll wonder how you missed it. Part neighborhood pub, sports bar and family meeting place--"established before you were born," according to the servers' T-shirts--the Sundries defies categorization.
The Crowd
Groups of friends and children arriving after soccer games, or couples grabbing a quick bite to eat. The bar is happily busy after work as business-types stop for a brew on the way home.
Food
Above-average pub fare: sandwiches, killer burgers, fantastic chili and excellent wings served with blue cheese in a container that's wide enough for wing-dipping (the mark of a place that truly understands its wings).

Insider Tips
One of Charlotte's BestNominated for Best Tradition (Bars) for its distinctly local flava.
Parking BummerCompetition for parking spots can be ferocious, but all is forgotten once you're embraced in the Sundries' friendliness.

I have been going here for years. What happened? It used to be good food and portions at good prices. I've heard the new owner had alot to do with this. He has seemed to forgotten about customer loyalty and simple food service industry managment . From speaking to his employees he isn't much more than a penny pinching imbescile. He has raised the prices on all of the beers and cocktails along with the food while cutting pour size and food portions. I've overheard that all the employes have to park far away and walk to the establishment and back late at night even if they are female. It may be in a nice part of Charlotte but still things can happen. This new owner and feel in the place has saddened me. I used to love this bar now coming here is almost a chore.
Pros: Nice staff, Good Location, Fun Late Night Bar
Cons: Prices skyrocketed, Inept Managment

new owner is ruining this place. upped the prices, cut the portions, is buying cheaper and smaller wings and tenders. many of the regulars that have been coming for years are no longer there. he is playing easy listening music and tells customers when he doesn't like their jukebox selections and they can't play that kind of music in there, he will give their money back. seems as if he doesn't want the younger bar crowd, but instead wants a pub for the older crowd. he also has people behind the bar that don't have a clue what they are doing. they can't even make a margarita and become confused when there are more than 7 people at the bar. there are still a few good things about the place, but they probably won't last to much longer since the owner is such a cheapskate.
Pros: none
Cons: everything
