Sidelines Sports Bar and Billiards

(75 Ratings)
The Carolinas’ only gay sports bar

A sports bar that's intentionally LGBTQ inclusive? Say less!

But really, Sidelines is one-of-a-kind in the greater area, offering a chill, classic bar experience with darts, pool tables, giant jenga, an enormous selection of craft beers, and a wide variety of sports. The staff here treats you like family, creating a welcoming space to relax and hang out, whether you're practicing your pool shots solo, or beer-tasting with a group of friends.

Nice place but needs some serious MEN

Like Woofs in Atlanta, this place tries hard to be a sports bar, but the twink crowd makes it very attitudinal. Drop the attitudes, please. And remodel the bathrooms.

Go Here Instead Of Nextdoor!

Charlotte Eagle is right next door but go here instead! Great place, with a friendly and diverse crowd. Friendly and fun staff. Great drinks and daily drink specials (daily martini specials are awesome!). Minor cover charge (around 3 bucks) for non members. Free pool, Wii games, darts, internet jukebox. Lots of televisions including a couple of wide screens playing all types of sports. Great afterhours greasy spoon right next door which is very popular with gay crowd. Sidelines opens at 5 so it's a great place to relax and have a drink after work too.

A great place to play!

Sidelines is everything you want in a mixed crowd sports venue. It's spacious, clean, the staff is great and they've got some great stuff to play with as well as TV's and widescreens. Bathrooms are clean and they have drink specials every day. What more could you want?

Gay Sports Bar

Charlotte's first and only Gay Sports Bar. Located next to the Charlotte Eagle. Pool tables, music, several TV's and a mixed, laid back crowd. I think they serve food too. Opened Fall of 2007.
