The Irish in Charlotte, NC
Charlotte’s Irish community reflects both historic roots and a modern, growing presence in the Queen City. The Charlotte Irish Connection and local Gaelic sports clubs keep traditions alive with events, networking, and athletics. Pubs like Rí Rá Irish Pub in Uptown and The Workman’s Friend in Plaza Midwood offer authentic food, music, and a warm Irish welcome year-round. Each March, the Charlotte St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival fills the streets with music and celebration, making the city a vibrant hub of Irish culture in the Carolinas.

McHale’s Pub
3112 North Davidson Street
Born from the spirit of Irish pubs, where every stranger is a friend and every pint has a story, McHale’s brings that tradition to NoDa, blending Irish warmth with Charlotte’s creative energy. McHale’s is built on a simple idea: a true Irish pub should feel like home. This is the third McHale’s pub, with proud roots in South Carolina and now our first in North Carolina. Each pub carries the same DNA: cozy corners, friendly faces, and a pint poured the right way. We’re Irish-owned, Irish-first, and here to share that tradition with NoDa. From the welcome at the door to the last bite on your plate, our story is about bringing people together, just as Irish pubs have done for centuries.
