The Thirsty Beaver is a bar (sometimes referred to as a dive bar) surrounded by an apartment complex, in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The establishment was started in a one-story building by two brothers in 2008. When established, the property was surrounded by vacant lots but in 2015, a development company purchased all of the land surrounding the bar. When George Salem, property owner and landlord to the Thirsty Beaver held out against two offers from a developer, the development company built apartments in a horseshoe shape around the building.
