Beantown Tavern in downtown Matthews is one of my favorite places to go. Even to those who are not from Boston or the New England area, or even the north for that matter can enjoy themselves here. During my first experience at Beantown Tavern I came to the bar by myself to have a drink after work. When I walked in I was greeted at the door, I walked into the bar area when I was greeted by another person, this time a gentlemen who I would find out later was the owner, Donnie Gaskin. He was taking care of each customer and doing everything to make other experience great. A lot of regulars and the staff knows everyone's name. They also have great food which also keeps getting better and more improved. They have a huge menu so I can get something different every time, however, I usually get the wings or the clam chowder(so good).
Perfect place to go with friends, the patio is big and nice, the pizza is good, waitresses and bartenders go to your tables which is always nice, and also downtown Matthews has some nice bar destinations if you or some friends want to bar hop or just check out what else is out there. Also they have live music on the weekends and the bands are usually really good and nice to dance to. Last time I was there the band was playing the Beatles so I was surely entertained.
Beantown is always open 365 days a years from 11am-230am, even on holidays, which is great for me because my schedule doesn't seem to match up with others.
Overall, what more can I say, Ive already typed to much, I'm sure I forgot something, but I believe this is my favorite bar, and I know its a lot of other people's favorite also. Don't listen to bad reviews until you try it yourself.
Pros: Owner, Atmosphere, Drinks(Best Pour in Charlotte),staff,food
Cons: It closes at 230 am (lol)
