Rec | THE THIRSTY BEAVER

🍻

in charlotte. it’s a perfect dive bar. dirty, bras tacked up on the walls, a hot pink bathroom, a non-digital jukebox that regularly has a billion pre-loaded credits for whoever to play whatever. and on top of all that, it’s a spite building in the middle of ugly modern apartments. i have considered moving to charlotte just so i could make this my regular bar. my hometown trash bar is my other favorite: slammer’s. it’s a tiny windowless box where you are equally likely to witness a drunken brawl or the entire bar singing along to “party in the USA” PLUS the gal’s bathroom is two toilets in one room with like, a tiny half wall so you can drunkenly hold hands while you pee with your friend. i have not done this but i‘d like to think that it’s an appeal for a certain kind of person.

the thirsty beaver saloon

When the real estate developers came knocking, the owners refused to sell, and the developers had to just build around em it’s everything it looks like and more. i had the best bar makeout probably of my entire life here (May 2021 — just after my 2nd dose of the covid vaccine reached maximum potency). i wish i still lived in Charlotte just to go to this bar

GOING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DIVE FOR THE GOSSIP

We have a spot by us that’s been here for something like 75 years. They have a dish on the menu called “meatball salad” that is better than it sounds. The walls are wood paneled. We come here every few weeks to dish with our favorite bartender—she lives on our block—about all the hot new neighborhood gossip. They’re filming “The Bear” on our block and there’s absolutely no parking. We’re all inconvenienced, let’s dish! She makes a great club soda with lime and my husband always asks what the specials are from the kitchen. It’s cash only. Chicago, we love you because you’re made up of dives like this, dotting corners in every neighborhood of this town.

Flicker

Athens, GA. The best neighborhood dive bar and great drinks at better prices. Plus they have a monthly movie series and fun art shows. I’ve taken so many pictures in this mirror in their bathroom, my phone recognizes Redd Foxx’s face.
