About this place Sidelines Sports Bar and Billiards

Sidelines is a gay sports bar on South Boulevard in Charlotte, south of the South End district. The format is straightforward: games on the screens, pool tables, a bar and a casual, mostly local crowd. It is a dedicated LGBTQ+ bar rather than a mainstream place that welcomes gay customers, and it rates 4.5 on Google from about 200 reviews. It is a neighbourhood-bar alternative to the dance clubs elsewhere in Charlotte. The LYNX Blue Line light rail runs along South Boulevard nearby, though a rideshare is easier late at night. Check the website for leagues, tournaments and themed nights.

While I don't think this bar serves food. It sometimes serves popcorn. This is my favorite place to come with the Charlotte Rugby Team before or after a game celebration. We all get together play pool or darts and they have a great selection of beers from around the World.
