Reviews for Workman’s Friend in Charlotte, NC
Needed to get out my house and this was a perfect little place to go. I was with my friend and we sat at the bar, not overly... crowded but full. Met some amazing puerile that we talked to while there having drinks. I got hungry and ordered the curryvegetables I saw another patron order because it looked so good. The portion is enough for two people. Very delicious and glad Iordered it. Might need another night out when my work travel is done. Read more
Stopped in for an early dinner, around 5:30, and there was plenty of seating available. The inside dining area has such a cool... vibe, and the music playing was all the good hits from the 70’s. Our food was incredible. I had the grilled cheese, my friendsgot the fish and chips, and it was all so fresh and full of flavor. I will definitely come back! ???? Read more
The full Irish breakfast was best I’ve had in years! Too many other places think the English/Irish breakfast platters are a... bunch of separate ingredients slapped on a single plate. Workman’s Friend got it right, with quality ingredients cookedtogether for proper cohesion. Very nice atmosphere too. The cocktails were okay, but I feel they were overpriced being rathersmall and light on the liquor. Read more
Fun bar, great street counter. Seems like a great place to meet friends and share a drink or two. Bartender friendly, good... service and suggestions. Would really like classic cherries instead of the “fruit cocktail” version for my upscale drink.Will give them another chance to get it right though! Read more
Went with friends for St. Patty’s day. We were all slightly disappointed that they were only offering a limited menu, however... we all found something to eat. One of my friends got fish and chips which she liked. She ate all the fish, but didn’t finishthe fries or the peas. My second friend got the Workman’s burger and both of them said it was one of the best burgers theyboth have ever had. I don’t eat meat, so I didn’t try it. I had really wanted the purple potato gnocchi and or some mashedpotatoes and cabbage or some other vegetable vegetarian dish, but they refused. So I went with the grilled cheese and itwasn’t anything to write home about. I had the potato leek soup, which tasted more like flavored mashed potatoes, but it wasok because I was craving mashed potatoes. The staff was cordial. The ambiance and decor was really nice. It reminded me ofbeing back in Belfast. I really liked sitting by the fireplace as I was cold and it warned me up! It was quite clean and therestrooms were sufficient. Overall, I would visit again when they are offering the full menu or if I was talking friends to thebar- the bar is partially outside and fully stocked! Read more
This is the perfect pub. Not quite a restaurant and more than a bar, it is sometimes just what you need. You won't get to sit... and have a quiet conversation at your table as it can be a bit loud, but the people watching is fantastic. The food is excellentand I really enjoyed it. Read more
Definitely a great place to stop after a hard days work on a Monday. Great drinks and pub food. I tried the beef stew and a... side salad. The salad came in a Togo cup but it was delicious either way. Definitely stopping by here again. Read more
The atmosphere with dim light, the leather, the candles and decoration in general makes it more than a pub, a rather romantic... restaurant, of what we ordered, the appetizers (asparagus and scallops) and all drinks were delicious, the scallops are somewhatoverpriced for the amount they serve ????????? I don't recommend the tomato bisque, it only tasted like tomato puree, we had toreturn it ???? my soup of the day was decent but like the ????, it was short of salt We are quite patient, however the foodtook a little bit more time that we expected to reach the table and the appetizers were served with the soup, as everything wasat the same time on the table, almost nothing fit well. Another thing that happened is that, before we left, apparently thewaitress was really distracted or busy with something else because she completely forgot about us to give it the check (that wehad already ask for it) and I had to got out from my seat to look for her ???? I don't know… It’s 40-60, they have verydelicious dishes and others that are not worth it, they have attentive waiters and others very distracted, the place isbeautiful but I don't know what to say about it Read more
