9 reviews for Stool Pigeons Coop & Grill
Okay, I have to give this 5 stars because my sister is friends with the waitresses, and they are really awesome.
It definitely gets crazy on game days, so COME EARLY! Like if it's a big game, come hours early. I walked in an hour before one of the ACC tournament games and the bar was packed 3 deep and all the tables were overcrowded. Being one of the awesome waitresses I knew, one of the girls put two seats in the middle of the room and brought me and my friend drinks during the game. That is how nice they are if they know you; and it's easy to get to know these people.
The food here is good too. It's good bar food that I really don't mind recommending to people. I brought my friend here for his first sliders, and he still talks about how he has to go get them all the time. I really like their buffalo chicken wrap because it's spicy! My other friend said it was too hot for him, so if you like it mild don't get it!
Another huge plus for this bar is that even though it's in downtown and people smoke like crazy, the huge fan above helps cut the smoke down dramatically. You can't escape the smoke all together probably, but it makes it way better with the fans!
One of my favorite sports bars in Charlotte. TThis is a great place to watch any of your favorite sporting events. Here are a few things I like about it.
- They have enough TVs and channels to suit your tastes for any sport.
- The food is pretty cheap and very good (~ $10 or less for food per person). Try the nachos or any of the Giant Pita's and you won't be disappointed.
- Plenty of seating for large or small groups
- They have a few arcade games in the back
- Full bar with a lot of selection and they have a drink/beer special every day of the week
- They have a young and fun crowd
Okay, so after a day full of moving and unpacking boxes we were ready for a beer and some food. We walked a couple of blocks up from our apartment building and found Stool Pigeons. We had every intention of ordering to go, but we sat down at the bar to look at the menu and got way too comfortable.
The place is an upscale sports bar with ample TV's and lots of good beers on tap. I ordered the Mahi pita, which came with mango salsa and pico de gallo on it. I thought it was a high risk maneuver since you never know with fish, but it was excellent. My fiancee ordered the buffalo chicken wrap which he enjoyed, and when he asked for blue cheese the bartender immediately knew we were New Yorkers (I didn't know it was a NY thing?)
We ate at the bar and the service was great. When we first sat down I realized that I left my ID in our apartment and I (understandably) couldn't be served. The bartender was very apologetic, and even got me a water to sip on while my fiancee ran back to the apartment to get my ID (come on, you didn't think I'd let him drink alone, right?) When the bill came the bartender actually bought us a round and discounted our food, he was really cool. He also gave us to free popcorn tickets to see Batman at the Imax! And I didn't even mention Yelp! ;) We will definitely be visiting Stool Pigeon again.
It can get really crowded on game days, but it's a fun venue to hang out and watch games. Weeknights are better than weekends, when all of uptown is kind of a mess, but it's a safe spot for a good night out regardless of the crowd. Since they get so slammed, the servers are pretty competent at handling overwhelm. They've got pretty good drink specials every night, and the menu is diverse for a sports bar. The drunken cheddar dip is pretty exciting.
It's an easy walk from anywhere else uptown, so it's a good place to start or finish a night of moving from bar to bar. They serve food until late-night, so get your grease-intake to fight off tomorrow's hangover before cabbing it home.
I took a walk to Stool Pigeons from my apartment; a pretty quick walk downtown. I had been driving by every time I went to Harris Teeter for groceries and just had to visit one night. My boyfriend went the week before and said their lunch specials were super good... I'll have to try that next time. The bar was kind of small- and seemed more of a bar than restaurant- but they did have about 5? booths and some tables. We sat at the bar next to this drunk, older couple from Wisconsin- they knew the streets better than we did!
On tap was some really tasty beer... They had Delirium, which is one of my FAVORITES, but a little expensive, so I tried a different one that I can't remember the name- but they had a huge picture of it hanging from the ceiling by the taps. I'll have to go back to check out the food menu and try the other beers.
The bartender was pretty nice- wasn't too talkative and just did her own thing; made herself available when needed. It was pretty slow- but a Tuesday night, so what can you expect? I can picture a nice crowd in there on the weekends, its a darker atmosphere with alot of dark wood that makes up the bar, tables, floor, etc.
Oh! They had these really cool palm tree leaf fans inside- very cool.
I would consider Stool Pigeons a sports bar, with a large crowd cheering away on gameday (along with apparently being Ohio State's game viewing bar of choice). There are plenty of tvs throughout, along with a couple in need of replacement on the outside patio. The inside viewing is pretty easy from anywhere in the bar, but finding a seat can prove to be difficult.
The bar area lines one side of the place so there are plenty of spaces to work your way up to the bar to order. The beer selection on tap is extensive & they have a very good selection of higher end beers (Red Oak, Blue Moon, etc.)
I've really only experienced the nightlife here, so I can't really critique the food other than saying the finger food I've snacked on is pretty tasty. The chicken quesadillas were good, but I'm anything probably would have tasted great at the time. Other than that, I haven't experienced much in the food department but the place is always packed with people eating away, so that has to be a good sign for the taste aspect.
Stool Pigeons is a good place to watch a game, with a loud crowd cheering away after every play, to the abundance of good viewing angles & tvs. The atmosphere is pretty live during the nightlife, & make sure you check out their unique fans along the bar, which I'd probably butcher trying to explain.
Maybe it's because I watched my Giants win the Superbowl while slugging Miller Lites there, but Stool Pigeons is a great Sports Bar. The best--for that reason.
It's obviously quieter on Monday-Thurs nights (unless there's a big game on, like MLB playoffs, Monday Football, etc), but there's still normally a decent amount of regulars having evening cocktails and grub. On Friday nights, especially after 8pm, it's pretty packed, and you prob shouldn't expect a table if you're sauntering in casually on a Saturday or Sunday during football season. It's packed with sports fans, some of whom are no doubt pretty hammered.
The food's good, not great. Try the fries and the buffalo chicken wrap. Everything else is so-so.
The drinks, however, are top-notch, and the beer selection deep. And let's be honest--that's why you're here, not because you're looking for an amazing meal. If its sports and booze you love, and a fun/wild/loud/involved atmosphere you desire, then you've found your Mecca.
I like to go on random nights, so if you and yours are looking to do some carousing, stop by on a Tuesday to watch whatever game is on. After a few beers, you'll be really glad you did.
Nice sports bar... not all of the seats allow good angles of the game but it still not a bad place to watch a game... the food is desent... i would stick to the fried stuff and bar food... they have good drink specials and alot of TVs... Had a few too many wasted nights in this place...
After work place for a beer (decent number of drafts) and some bar grub. Had some fairly decent Mahi tacos. Service was good, which should be expected but is above par for the area. Lots of TVs. Way off topic but not used to hearing about pigeons, reminds me of that rap song that was a take on Scrubs... a pigeon is a girl who be walking by...
