Best Outdoor Bars in Charlotte

This bi-level, unpretentious Irish pub sports brick walls, wooden floors, and a cottage-house roof. Its regular patrons are people who love Irish beer and like to hang out with their drinking pals. Food is not served here, probably because it is regarded as a distraction from the main activity—drinking. A drop-down screen caters to sports fans, and the joint is a proud sponsor of the Charlotte Gaelic Football events. A good time to visit is Tuesday when traditional Irish songs add to the festive atmosphere.

VBGB Beer Hall & Garden is a charming place frequented by local patrons and eager tourists. The feel of the traditional beer garden with alfresco seating and wooden tables is infused with modern-day entertainment like gaming zones, live gigs, DJ nights and other exciting line-ups. Try not to forget the varieties of bottled beer and microbrews and lip-smacking food that truly define a beer garden.
