The Region’s Undisputed Favorite Sports Bar Is the Perfect Spot for Watch Parties on ALL Gamedays
Hickory Tavern, the casually social neighborhood restaurant acclaimed for its sports passion and the brand whose Carolina Panthers-themed Victory Potion, Clipped Wings and The Dab Burger carried its hometown team – and its fans – all the way to the Big Game last year, is bringing back a guest favorite and hoping to change the luck of the team with a little free food.
As it did after every win last year in the Panthers championship game run, Hickory Tavern is reviving its “Panthers Win, You Score” initiative. The day after every Panthers victory, any guest who mentions the win will get free Chips & Queso between 4 pm and 10 pm.
Of course, watch parties for all of the games, from college to pro almost every day of the week, at Hickory Tavern is the biggest no-brainer in the history of sports. Once named runner up in ESPN’s Best Sports Bar in North America, Hickory Tavern recently received even more nods as one of the best sports bars in Charlotte by Forbes Travel Guide, Thrillist, Foursquare and Wheretraveler.
“We know you’ll be at Hickory Tavern on Gameday because we’ve created the best watching environment for sports but we’re also a little superstitious and decided to revive our free Chips & Queso after wins in order to get back to last year’s winning ways,” said Hickory Tavern CMO Thom Perez. “Hickory Tavern is without a doubt the best venue for watching football and we hope this gesture on our part is the shot in the arm our beloved Panthers need.”

Hickory Tavern’s sports a unique brand of polished casual features a lively bar atmosphere, upscale menu and approximately 70 TVs throughout the restaurant, bar and patio.
