What makes Sidelines Sports Bar and Billiards special

Sidelines is a games bar and meeting point: the games are free, and music from the 70s to the 90s plays at conversation volume. The bar is home to the Charlotte Royals rugby team and a meeting point for the Charlotte Gaymers Network. For dancing, head next door to Argon.

A good fit if you …

  • want to play pool or darts or watch sports
  • are looking for a quiet bar to talk

Not ideal if you …

  • expect shows or club sound
Our tip: Order food from a delivery service, there’s no kitchen.
