Charlotte bars open on Christmas Day

Looking for a Charlotte bar open on Christmas Day? Maybe you’d like to go have a drink with your out of town guests. Or maybe you need to get away from your guests. Or maybe you don’t have family in town, and would just like to get out of the house and connect with others.

No matter the reason, this list should help. We’ve asked around and have put together a list of bars open on Christmas Day, 2025. Some haven’t finalized their Christmas hours, as they’re working around employees’ holiday plans, so you’d be wise to check the bar’s social media or give them a call before heading out.

Know of others? Send us a message at info@charlotteonthecheap.com and we might be able to add it to the list.
