Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrates an early birthday at Thirsty Beaver in Plaza Midwood

Thirsty Beaver Saloon is nestled between a large apartment complex in Plaza Midwood.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — No one can resist a good dive bar, not even Dale Earnhardt Jr. 

Earnhardt Jr. posted a photo of Thirsty Beaver Saloon with a caption saying his wife took him there to celebrate his birthday. 

"I’m ashamed to say it was my first time there. I love dive bars and this one checks all the boxes," Earnhardt Jr. wrote. 

The Thirsty Beaver Saloon is nestled between a large apartment complex in Plaza Midwood. When a development company wanted to acquire the property, the Thirsty Beaver turned down the offer and decided to stay put. 

Earnhardt Jr. turns 45 years old on October 10.
