Food. Friends. Fun.
Lake Norman's Bills Bar.
Buffalo-style wings, big burgers and cold drinks, with every Buffalo Bills game on screens wall to wall. Come hungry and wear your blue.
Thu–Sat 11AM–Midnight
Every snap. Every Sunday. Sound on.
Al's is the official Bills Backers chapter for Lake Norman. Our owners come from Western New York, so when the Bills kick off, this place turns into Orchard Park South: chants, high fives, and a room full of fans who've waited all week for this.
- Wall-to-wall big screens, so every seat has a clear view of the game, and the Bills audio is on.
- Official Bills Backers chapter, listed in the Buffalo Bills Backers directory.
- Game day drink specials and real Buffalo-style wings, the way they make them back home.
- Get here early. Bills Sundays fill up fast. Every other fan is welcome too, and the other games are on as well.
Bar food done right, in big portions.
Hand-breaded, made from scratch, and served hot. Wings come in 15 sauces. There are over a dozen burgers, plus pizza, subs and home-cooked dinners.

Man, they have the best wings in the Charlotte area. If you haven't tried them, do it.
Best wings we have had since moving back to the Lake Norman area a few years ago. Solid lunch specials and service is spot on!
That Sunday during the Bills game was pretty intense — only tailgating and attending a game at the Ralph are close in my experience.
Great bar and the food is amazing. The menu is so diverse yet I have not had one meal I did not enjoy. The bartenders and servers are incredible!
The owners are from Western New York, so you know it's the real deal. The Honey Habaneros as well as the honey mustard wings are definitely our favorite.
Wings were a good size, meaty, and flavorful. The grilled cheese burger was a great meld of two comfort foods and the PB Chocolate Martini was flavorful.
Neighborhood bar and grille with great wings, burgers, drinks, and where “everyone knows your name.” Widescreen TVs are everywhere.
Great little place with a nice patio on the side. The wings were excellent and the fried shrimp had just the right amount of breading.
Are you a Buffalo Bills fan? Then this is the bar for you on game day!
Pull up a stool. Stay a while.
Al's is the kind of place where the bartender knows your order and the servers say hi by name. You can grab lunch on the wrap-around patio, play shuffleboard, or bring the whole family for dinner.
