Hartigan's is tucked away behind Bank of America stadium — but it’s not just a tailgating bar. If we have to classify it as a genre it’s an Irish pub and restaurant by signage, and a local lesbian bar by word of mouth. But regardless, it’s a cool bar …

I went to Hartigan's for the first time yesterday for a disco-themed production party. The Charlotte production community was celebrating our beloved wardrobe queen’s 50th birthday … not to mention the tax incentive approval which will help to generate more production to the Carolinas. We were all taking advantage of the massive dance floor — especially the birthday girl, who was dancing in the cage, showing us that the fountain of youth is forever being youthful. That, and being a good people person. In lieu of gifts she had people a silent auction to benefit Bliss Animal Haven.

Hartigan's recently had a management makeover recently as it’s advertised as having a new staff, a new attitude, new flat screens, and a new calendar of events. Including Team Trivia Wednesdays, karaoke Thursdays, drag shows, and a can’t miss … Pudding Wrestling coming up on Friday, Aug. 28

So yeah it’s a gay bar … gay as in happy. Although I did find it rather comical when I had to ask a staff member (a hot guy might I add) which bathroom to use : Crazy Bitch and Bad Ass Bitch … apparently I’m a bad ass bitch.
