Bradshaw Social House

If it wasn’t for the bartender acting bothered that we came in on a very slow afternoon (there were maybe 10 people in the place) I would give more stars. I like the atmosphere — great place to hang out with friends, watch games. Bartendress was busy unloading a shipment that was dropped off and chatting with other staff who seemed to be off duty. Had to wait and wait for her to come around our side of the bar after the food was dropped to request a couple items. Really no excuse for poor service and an attitude to boot. Hopefully management reads the many reviews echoing this sentiment and cleans house a bit.
The food was unimpressive. I had a «quinoa» veggie burger that is reportedly made in-​house. I couldn’t identify any quinoa in it, but rather it had the texture of a bean burger — mushy and cat food-​like. Fries are amazing — hand cut, cooked perfectly. Hubs had chicken wings finished on the grill. He said not bad, but wasn’t raving.
There was nobody on the patio, as it was mid afternoon and cold outside, so I can’t speak to that. What I’ve read says they allow smoking out there so that would be a no-​go for me. It’s a pet peeve having lived in Las Vegas most of my life when bars/​restaurants in other States allow smoking anywhere near the establishment. Personally, I find the smell extremely offensive and do not wish to be subjected to smoke in order to enjoy the outdoors. I can’t think of any reason why smokers can’t have a designated smoking area away from patrons who are drinking and eating and trying to breath oxygen. I guess places like this are hoping to attract smokers? Maybe they drink more? Idk.

Ive never had the food here before. Only came here for drinks. Usually on the weekends they have a live band. It is very crowded on the weekends! I’ve seen so many people get bumped and drinks spilling on them. Patio area is ok if you wanna sit in smoke due to all the smokers.

Waaaaay too much attitude from the female bartenders here. You are a bartender at a bar in south Charlotte. Get over yourself. P. S. Sincerest of apologies that I prefer my beer to have a head that measures less than 12 inches.

Great selection of beer and liquor. Although I do not eat, food looked and smelled amazing! Friendly staff who go out of there way to please customer.

If it weren’t for the food, I’d scratch this place altogether. I’m all about the beer cheese and the stoopid hot sauce. It’s close to work, so I enjoy being able to come grab food on my lunch break. The service sucks the majority of the time. I get it –it’s slow — but if you have a table, I really recommend refilling drinks and asking how the food is before engaging in chatter with your coworkers & bouncing balls around.
We were one of two tables — the other table seemed to be somewhat attended to. We waited ten minutes to get water refilled and am currently waiting for my check. Funny how this place is less than a mile from my office but I can’t see to squeeze in lunch without racing back to the office because my hour long break has only three minutes left.
Anyway, good beer cheese.

Typical bar atmosphere with not so typical menu. Order the Fried pickles and they came with a sauce so thin and watery and it didn’t cling to the pickles, which were so salty, I felt my ankles expand as I ate them. I asked for a different sauce, but that was thin too. The Turkey with avocado was so blend and tasteless, dry as my hair, and in desperate need of some kind of sauce to hide the earthy taste of the sprouts on it. My Asian sesame salad was boring, and not a sesame seed in sight, as it says on menu. The dressing was typical Asian, almost teriyaki-​ish and salty as hell, which now started the swelling of my fingers. I miss the usual bar menu of chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks. Bars should stick to the tried and true unless you’ve mastered the menu outside the box. This is one of those bars.

After my most recent experience, I feel I need to update my review. Unfortunately, this will most likely be my last review for Bradshaws, because I will probably never be back.
As my group was sitting outside, we witnessed someone get taken away in an ambulance. They either drank too much or got into a fight, I honestly have no idea what happened to them. After we watched this person get taken away, one of the «victims» friends came to our table and go off on a person in our group. Apparently she didn’t like they were watching. It was a pretty strange/​awkward/​unnerving situation. I hadn’t seen something like this since college, and this wasn’t a college crowd. Security was required to remove this individual from our table. She wasn’t kicked out and just moved to another spot in the bar, which was pretty close to us still and began to talk to others in bar about us. She may have been a regular, I don’t know. Again, awkward. My wife and I left the bar immediately at this point. Again, it’s doubtful we will ever be back.
The food is solid and they have decent beers, but the majority of people that frequent the bar are very far from my preferred crowd. No thanks.

Lame lame and lame … Everybody’s dried up used up ex is in the joint makin moves on everyone and anyone they can get their hands on. Plus food sucks & service sucks way to bad to have to deal with that crowd. It’s filthy dirty & loud as hell. It’s a sloppy mess.

10 months from my original review.
Yes they have great beer selections. NO they are not in stock (I’m not kidding — I went through 7 beer requests, only 4 were available and subpar — but more on that later).
Plenty of TVs but almost all are playing the exact same thing.
Great cover bands — would love to see them anywhere else but here.
The food is still Eh.
It’s still Cougartown.
Still can’t get a seat after 9pm.
Here’s something new– my waitress to the shared table (thanks nice ladies for letting us sit with you) is a monster bitch with pupils the size of saucers and claims the beers are the same if made by the same brewery. When the heck is a Abbey Ale the same as an IPA? And why would would ask that I got 2 of them before realizing something was wrong?
Because the first few beers I asked for were drafts and the lines are dirty — which changes the flavor and makes everything sour. When I brought this to her attention, she gave me an attitude. Look sweetie, I get you’re working hard to have your tables not to the bar but if you were more attentive and available to order from people would actually use your service.
Moving right along, since she was no help I went to the bar where a very nice bartender basically agreed the beer lines are dirty and that’s the end of that. Fine — on to the manager. Nope not one of staff. But I did get to speak to a VERY Young looking «owner» who apologized for his staff being rude and asked what he could BUY ME after I explained 7 beers, only a few actually in stock and the drafts were nasty.
I don’t want free stuff — I want a good tasting beer!!! 3 attempts at this bar near my home and it’s it. Not going back. I can find better beer and nicer service near my home elsewhere.
2 stars for the 2 bartenders who have tried to be helpful and apologetic who can’t fix the problem but were nice, attentive and professional.

This is the worse night I’ve ever had! I came to the bar with the intention to have a great night and was rudely surprised by the atmosphere and bartender/​so called manager Tabitha. Not only was the Cucumber Martini the worse I’ve ever had — tasting like pure rubbing alcohol, the girl who served it was the nastiest person I’ve ever met! Not once was I checked on as I sat here for over an hour. I was given food with no offer of water to go along with it. After my bill was given to me and I expressed my concern — although my drank sat at the bar untouched for the entire hour — only then was it taken off my bill. Hate to say it but 2 thumbs down from.

It’s a bar. Good for drinks. Do not eat the food. Most appetizers were fried, tasted old or just gross. Maybe that’s why they were half off? And the ciabatta burger had just regular toast as the bread and undercooked meat.

This is a good place to meet somebody because there are a lot of girls here.
The food is fine for a bar place.
Parking can be less than adequate.

Great atmosphere for football. servers are great! What I would suggest is to not beer batter the green tomatoes and to use an actual spring roll wrap for the philly cheesesteak spring rolls not egg roll wraps. The gouda bites smaller and denser cheese.

Excellent service for our first visit. From the moment we arrived the bouncer checking ID helped us choose a table and noticed our seat of choice needed a bit of cleaning. He didn’t wait for someone else he took the initiative to clean it himself.
Our waitress was equally attentive providing solid recommendations. We had the dozen wings (typical bar food that tasted just fine) /​cheese steak egg rolls (first time I has them anywhere and loved it. It has a nice balance of cheese and meat wrapped by the standard egg roll wrap) /​Ribs were amazing! Our waitress described it as a specialty since the chefs used to own a BBQ place. I can see why she called it out.
I will certainly come back again.

We begrudgingly tried BSH again since Lure isn’t open on Mondays. Appetizers were half off til 7:00, so we split the fried green tomatoes and quesedillas. I honestly couldn’t tell much difference between the two; they were just so. bland. We then ordered the pretzels with beer cheese because how could you mess that up? Congeal the cheese, that’s how.
As we left at 7:30, they were setting up for live music. We were the youngest people in there by a good 10 years, and we’re in our mid-​30s, so I’d say it’s a big of an older, cougar-​ish clientele, at least on a Monday night. At least our service was good.
I’ve given it the old college try, but I’m done trying.

Poor service & bad food. Wings were nasty, barely a drop of sauce on them and this is the 2^nd time I’ve been there where they didn’t have the beer that was on the menu. Definitely black-​listed.
