The very same place The IORR Band were booked to play the day before the Stones's gig in Charlotte in 2020

Yes! David (mr.dja) and I went to the Thirsty Beaver yesterday. Brian Wilson, who booked us, was there. We talked about our disappointment not getting to do that, last year. But this year.. omg Mick Jagger walks into his bar .. !

Was great to meet you two yesterday. Met a number of fantastic Stones fans!

Loved "19th" - crowd was really singing the "here it comes, here it comes, here it comes" part. Steve did a nice job, too. Ditto Sasha.

Hey, great to meet you too, Elmo ! The Stones were great. great to hang with y’all some.

I went there and asked for the beer Mick had. I got this beer:

Coors Edge (Non-Alcoholic brew)

I have pictures etc - it will go into my Charlotte part of stoneslife.org.

I don't believe a word of it. These things are staged.

Nice story for sure and cool of mick to do it, but clearly not a candid shot. He obviously has someone there to take the pic for him and he is looking very posed!

Still I’d have loved to be in the bar that night!!

Any reports of how long he stayed? Did he even finish the beer??

His driver, who likely also pre-fetched him the beer. And of course he posed, that was the point.

Mick has a thing for cool liquor signs I think. Have seen pics of him pose in front of a few in the past.
I witnessed him (his driver) taking a quick pic of him under a cool liquor sign in LA once as well.
A few sips, a quick pic and back in the nearby Mercedes is my bet.

"I'll order what Keith Richards is drinking."

A Rolling Stone walks into a bar and the bartender says, "what'll it be?"
The Rolling Stone answers, "Gimme seltzer."

The Thirsty Beaver Saloon (Charlotte, NC) in daylight:


Google StreetView

Looks quite depressing from the outside.Like a 19th century prison cell.

Is that a red Stones tongue logo flag on the far left upper balcony? If so, I'll bet the people living there are beside themselves over missing Mick just a few feet away.

It's a Liverpool FC banner, not a Stones tongue.

And Google took these pictures with its StreetView-Cars in March 2020.

If you click/tap on the clock-icon in Google StreetView (upper left corner) you can go back to views from 2009: the Saloon was already there - but the building behind was constructed from end of 2016.

Soo cool that Mick has a beer like an ordinary guy in an ordinary pub -and even cooler, it works without beeing bothered! Well done Mick, I like it
