Yellow Rose At Touchstone

Their number is out of service so I would say the last reviewer was correct — THEY ARE CLOSED FOR BUSINESS.

CLOSING SOON!, 09-​27-​2015. Thank you Yellow Rose for many years of drinks, great food, great local folk and great staff. You will be missed. I hope the development plans change for the area and somehow you are saved? I would sign a petition several times to keep this place.
Your wings I would put up against any local restaurant. Your free popcorn I would… well, its free. But most of all, I will miss the Yellow Rose Burger –simple jalapeño cheeseburger that was always perfect.
Please consider relocating somewhere near or just put up a circus tent in the parking lot, many would show up. Last of the «come as you are» bars around.
Cheers to all

Best bar food and lowest prices in the area! Staff is extremely friendly. Fun place to play and watch pool. Love the pizza quesadillas, wings and potato skins. Go and forget about
the calories for a night.

Best sports bar that I’ve been to in Charlotte. Nice TV’s and plenty of them.
Wait staff is fantastic.
Nice outside bar area. Look forward to going back soon.

Yellow rose is great and the waitress are all awesome but the woman bartender needs to lose her attitude and she also need to take a mixology class because when a customer orders a drink it should be made right the first time. She clearly should either leave or freshen up her bartending skill along with her personality… This is a great neighborhood bar but she will cause people not to come back due to her attitude and demeanor.

I was concerned about reviewing this place because… simply… It is a hidden gem! This has happened to me before but I have to be true to the Unilocalisphere. I must share this place with my people!
So, I just love this spot. The whole atmosphere reminds me of some of my favorite dive bars back home in Philly/​NJ. They have everything: Wonderful waitresses that are so sweet and menu/​drink savvy, multiple pool tables/​leagues, karaōke (Sat nights 1030pm), FREE popcorn, several beer/​shot specials. There are so many TVs, too. And trivia with portable gaming stations! Glorious!
The food is just what you should expect when you walk in. Delicious greasy bar food. Wings and cheese steak were bangin! Yes, that’s the official term. BANGIN! You should venture on the Pineville Matthews beaten path and find your way to the Touchstone center. YellowRose!
Enjoy!

My friends and I love the Rose! It’s a divey bar, but clean. Staff is awesome, great drink specials, pool tables, fun karaōke nights. The food is bar food, but delicious. Sports games are a blast here, big patio with a full bar. Very homey place. One of my favorite bars in south Charlotte.

Do you enjoy getting white girl wasted? Do you enjoy drinking alone? Do you enjoy being in an atmosphere where no matter how disheveled and pitiful you look no one will judge you? Do you enjoy being able to get fall down drunk and honestly not care who sees you? Do you enjoy karaōke sung by Charlotte’s finest patrons? Do you enjoy decently priced drunk food (wings, burgers, etc)? If you answered «yes» to any of these questions, this is the spot for you.
Situated in a rather old, worn out shopping center, The Yellow Rose is a South Charlotte gem. It’s a place where you walk in the door and feel like you could kick off your shoes. There are pool tables, tvs, and bless it… karaōke. There is no discrimination when it comes to the singers. Whether you sound like a dying hyena or a bona fide rock star, doesn’t matter, sing your drunk little heart out.
The drinks are moderately priced, beer is usually cheap, wine is quite expensive. They usually have specials, last time I went it was Kool Aid shots. May as well have called them «pee yourself in your sleep» shots they were so strong. The food is the good kind of greasy drunk food, most excellent if you need to muster up some sort of sober to walk out the door.
The wait staff is lacking. Not only do they tend to disappear, but when they reappear they always seem annoyed. However, if I had to work in a place surrounded by people like my friends (the fall down drunks) I’d be annoyed too.
The other slight downside to this place is they have a «smoking porch» right off the back of the bar. This is a BEAUTIFUL place for all that desire lung cancer, but for those of us that would like to keep our lungs nice and pretty… not happening. Anytime anyone comes in, the smoke trails in after them. If you smoke, here’s a haven for you. If you don’t, prepare to smell it.
Long story short, come here to get plastered. No one will judge. They feed you, provide you entertainment, and give you napkins for when you spill all over yourself. Bless it.

Went there last Saturday night. It was busy but the service was still quick and friendly. They had a couple of guys playing guitar and singing and they were really good.
The beer is always cold and the prices are always reasonable. This is one of my favorite neighborhood sports bars.

Love this bar! Wait staff is so friendly and always remembers my name and favorite drinks. Great place to watch the games and the food is good too. This place will pour you a generous drink and not charge you an arm and a leg for it. Definitely recommend this place for the avid bar goer.

Yellow Rose is one of the rare bars in Charlotte that has a somewhat divey feel. The atmosphere is very laid back and reminiscent of bars in blue collar towns. I wouldn’t say it’s a true dive as the place actually appears overall clean. While we didn’t have the food, the bar service was fast and friendly, even on a busy Saturday night. They have some great beer specials if you like the mass produced domestic stuff. Chubby’s Karaōke also makes for a great time. They also have several pool tables, but they are always busy. Fun place.

Excellent dive bar! Recently updated and it shows. Food is OK, but the beer specials are a huge plus. Perfect dive location just outside Ballantyne area for a nice change of pace.

Despite the obvious dive bar feeling, the staff was welcoming enough. Great specials and plenty of TV’s inside and out to watch games. A number of players on the pool tables and skeeball outside. A great bar to get away and a certain addition to my routine.

Great food and friendly staff. A perfect neighborhood establishment, lots of regulars, but certainly not uncomfortable. Great place to watch a game. Very reasonably priced. I only took a star away because the beer selection is pretty weak compared to its competitors.

I’ve come here a couple of times now. The Patty Melt is good but the service is nice but can be slow at times. Free popcorn helps and tv’s for whatever game you choose. They have an outdoor area plus pool tables. Pretty good spot for a laid back time, just remember to leave plenty of time in case of slow service. You should also not expect a super young or rowdy crowd as the patrons around here probably don’t live that far away and is a mix of older to kids.

I was not all that much of a fan of this place. For a bar in Charlotte/​Pineville I figured it would be a bit nicer. They have a big patio and plenty of pool tables to mess around with. There is a level of things they need to upgrade, the POS (Point of Sales) computer they have at the bar. It looks like an old tower that is running Win 98 or something. The bar stools feel like they are going to break when you sit on them, and the plastic patio chairs too.

I’ve been going to the Rose for years and it’s always been one of my favorite places. I love it for the fact that it’s comfortable, people are nice, the prices are very reasonable and the food (WINGS!) is great.
Meredith (bartender), Alana (former bartender, doesn’t work there anymore), etc. have always made me feel at home and it’s the little things like remembering my order which make me come back. Even Rodney, the bouncer, is a friendly, great guy who always greets me with a handshake.
However, they now have a server (Sara, I believe) who, based on my 2 experiences with her, is AWFUL. I was there for New Years Eve. Predictably, it was packed. My girlfriend and other friends went to look for a table while I went to the bar to get a round of drinks. As soon as Meredith saw me, she took my order. As soon as I got all of our drinks, I turned around and saw that the rest of my party had found a table. They were almost immediately greeted by Sara, who wanted to take their orders. I told her I had just grabbed drinks from the bar because we didn’t know how long it would be before we could get a table. She was pissed and said something to the effect of «That’s why WE’RE here» and walked away.
That was the last time she came near our table that night. I later went to the bar to order food since she hadn’t been by our table in 45 minutes. While I was up there, the bartender who took my food order (a guy) asked me where we were sitting so he could bring us our food. Sara immediately jumped in and said «I’ve already been over this with them, they don’t want…» couldn’t make out the rest of her comment, but as she waved her finger and spoke in a very condescending tone, I could tell it wasn’t nice. The night went on and as it got closer to Midnight, she proceeded to hand out NYE-​themed hats and other party favors to everyone around us but somehow we were skipped. Seemed like it was on purpose, but that’s up for speculation I suppose.
If that night was the first time I had been there, I would probably never return based on her alone. I also need to mention that I had visited once about a week earlier and she was our waitress. Overall, she was okay except she pretty much ignored us. She sat with an older couple at a table close to ours (parents, grandparents?). We had to ask for refills, drinks, our check, etc. There wasn’t as much attitude but she was still not a good server.
I did mention to Meredith in so many words that I was not happy with how I had been treated she apologized profusely. I will absolutely return but if will definitely send Sara away if she tries to «serve» me.
NOTES ADDED 6÷16÷13− Returned and Sara was our server. She was great this time around so I thought it was only fair to add this to my review.

I’v been by here a few times now and it is not a bad little local bar type place. They have $ 1.50 beer specials (its the cheap stuff though) which is nice and free popcorn by the front door as you come in. The food is what I would call your standard «bar food» so it’s nothing to get too excited about. They have 4 pool tables which seem to always have at least a couple people playing them as well as TV’s for all the sports fans out there. The interior of the place is kinda dark/​dank but for what it is I still like it myself. Feels comfortable to me I guess you could say. The only thing they could probably work on is the waitress situation. The ladies they have working are very friendly and helpful but seem to always be outpaced by the crowd. Probably could use at least another one slinging food and drinks and they’d be in great shape.

So if someone blind folded you and dropped you off at the Yellow Rose… You would swear that you were in Shelby, NC on the set of East Bound and Down waiting for Kenny Powers to walk in!
I love this place! It reminds me of a bar I would see back in my hometown or something you would find out in the middle of South Carolina somewhere, not in the middle of Charlotte.
Pretty much ditto on everything that Tiffany says about this place in her review. The little bit of food that I’ve had there has been really good and the waitresses and staff are very friendly. Seems like everytime I’ve ever been there they are singing karaōke and they have lots of pool tables that are always taken.
I have to give this place an easy 4-​stars on character alone. And the drink/​beer prices are dirt cheap. Oh yeah, and there is always free popcorn, and it’s good!
A great place to people watch as well!

LOVE the Rose! This is a great hole in the wall bar located off 51 and Baybrook in a little strip mall with Tuesday Morning, Riccio’s and a karate place.
They have amazing drink specials including some kind of bucket special each night and offer karoake Thurs-​Sat along with a few pool tables and spacious patio. The bartenders are attentive and know your name and they have solid bar food (including one of the best burgers I’ve had in Charlotte — who knew?) This place is a gem, if you’re looking for a no-​frills place with lots of tv’s and a neighborhood feel you should definitely check it out!
