Kid-Friendly Places to Watch the Game in Charlotte, NC

Game day looks a little different when you’ve got kids in tow. If you still want to watch the game without stressing the entire time, these Charlotte spots make it easy — with room for kids to move around, food everyone actually eats, and plenty of TVs so you don’t miss a play.

Whether you’re watching football, basketball, soccer, or baseball, these are some of our favorite kid-friendly game day restaurants and hangouts in Charlotte.

Suffolk Punch Brewing

Located right at SouthPark Mall, Suffolk Punch is a spacious brewery and restaurant that works surprisingly well for families. There’s lots of room to spread out, a playground for kids, and TVs throughout the space so parents can comfortably watch the game. The menu is a hit with both kids and adults, and they also serve really good coffee, which is always a bonus.
🧒 Kids eat free on Sundays after 4pm.

Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse

Duckworth’s is a classic game-day spot that still feels laid-back enough for families. With both indoor and outdoor seating, it’s easy to settle in without feeling cramped. The SouthPark and Rea Farms locations are our favorites for watching games with kids, and Rea Farms has a great patio when the weather cooperates.
🧒 Kids eat free on Wednesdays.

Seoul Food Meat Company (NoDa Location)

This Korean-fusion BBQ spot is a fun, high-energy option for game day. The menu has everything from wings to BBQ and fusion favorites, and the large outdoor area with a playground makes it easy for kids to stay entertained while adults keep an eye on the TVs. It’s a great choice if you want something a little more unique than a typical sports bar.

Pins Mechanical Co.

Pins Mechanical is less of a traditional restaurant and more of a game-watching experience. With duckpin bowling, pinball, arcade games, and TVs throughout the space, this is an especially good option for older kids and tweens. The games tend to take center stage, making it perfect if your kids like to stay busy while the game’s on.
