DISHONEST EMPLOYEES

by pchayko

I was there on Saturday afternoon, Labor day weekend... The food was greasy...I dropped my cell phone as I was leaving...I realized this as soon as I got the the Labor Day party I was attending with a friend in SC...we called and were assured that my phone was found and would be behind the bar for me to pick up on Sunday Morning. I went to Thomas Street Tavern twice on Sunday, and the man who assured me that the phone was there looked everywhere for the phone he had put behind the bar, it was gone, as the girl behind the bar had done earlier when I was there the first time.l..since only employees are allowed behind the bar it would only make sense that one of the employees stole my phone.

Ping Pong and Lots of Beers to Choose From

by jblack47

This is one of my favorite bars in Charlotte. The food is not the greatest, but it is not bad. They have a wide selection of beers. They have everything from imports to Old Milwaukee and Schlitz in cans. The patio is the best part of the place. It is very large, and they have two ping pong tables. The place is packed on Friday and Saturday nights. The area can be kind of scary at night. Females should have someone escort them to their cars. You will see all kinds of people in this place. Young, old, rich, poor, they are all here. It is a great place to hang out and have fun with friends.

• Pros: Ping Pong
• Cons: Area is Scary at Night

If you need a self esteem boost go here

by notme03

If you vote republican or have a problem with hobo's this isn't your bar. A friendly neighborhood bar with your usual cast of characters of vagrants, old guys, and pseudohipsters. Prices are fair, menu ok, no pitcher drinks. It will vary every visit on how much alcohol they actually put in your drink, but if you look in the right direction you may not need much to drink. I've met three boyfriends there. They were all just alike. They each loved Phish, owned a bong from Thailand, have a German ex-girlfriend, and most of the dates included listening to them strum the guitar, cuddling over the simpsons, and talking about how messed up our system is........ basically.......they were broke.

• Pros: Will run into some interesting and strange people
• Cons: Will run into some interesting and strange people

Best crowd mix!

by charlottesouthern

What a great find in the commonwealth area. Complete mix of all types of people. Good simply bar food -- and they have outdoor space with ping-pong!

• Pros: lots to do, good for people watching
• Cons: crowded

Location plus menu plus beer selection equals everyone's favorite neighborhood tavern.

In Short
The owners realize that it's really on Thomas Avenue, but the name just didn't have the same ring, so they switched it around. Luckily for residents of the Plaza-Midwood area, they didn't tamper with the great bar equation too much. Stockyard workers are just as likely as stockbrokers to sidle up to the sleek, curved bar. For patrons in the mood for a little activity, there's always foosball or the pool table.

I love this place!

Everytime I go there I have a great time! The back patio is the best kept secret in Charlotte.
