Dinner at a dive bar? These spots offer some great options Charlotte

Dive bars in Charlotte are known for cheap beer and live music, but many of them have great food. Moosehead is one of those spots, and it was my first time being there while the sun's still up. I've definitely fired off my fair share of u-up texts from these booths after a handful of beers, but who hasn't? And I actually never noticed this giant moosehead before, but I guess it makes sense given the name. But if you're going to Moosehead for food, there's really only one thing to get. Wings. The wings are consistently rated as some of the best in the city, and you'll see why as soon as you try them. These buffalo wings were fire, and the fries were extra crispy. Next up was Comet Grill in Dilworth, and it was packed when I got there. It's a chill spot with frequent live music shows, and one of the best places in Charlotte for burgers. I went back the next day when they were a bit slower, and Tinashe was playing. I'm not saying I'm a fan, but there's a pretty big hint about that on my profile. I ended up going with the Comet Classic, topped with pimento cheese, bacon, and grilled onions. It was fantastic. That burger was cooked to perfection. Jack Beagle's was my last stop, and I loved this place. Everything I've had on the menu is great, there's always drink specials, and it's the perfect place to strike up a conversation with a stranger. I've talked about the woman I met at the Moorhead location who was a librarian and powerlifter before, but I feel like that's just the type of person you'd run into at Jack Beagle's. I actually ran into my buddy Denzel from college, and his band was playing there that night. I couldn't stay for the show, but I checked him out on Apple Music, and I loved their sound. I decided to get something to eat, but not before I took a few sips from Ol' Reliable. I got this massive Jack Mac burger with pimento cheese and smoked bacon, and it was the perfect way to cap off the night, and you won't find better waffle fries anywhere else in Charlotte.
