This hole in the wall dive bar (the good kind) is an oasis in an otherwise franchise-heavy downtown Charlotte. Waitress was genuinely friendly and chatty. Dart boards and an array of mules made a memorable, welcome escape from a day of Christmas markets. Their bar food was good enough to convince my Southern Belle tour guide to forget dinner elsewhere.
