A Complete Guide To Arsenal Supporters Clubs and Soccer Bars in N Carolina
Cape Fear Gooners
North Carolina certainly is a red State, with no fewer than seven Arsenal supporters groups in its confines. First, we have the Cape Fear Gooners (yes, that one). This official Arsenal group are a small but dedicated bunch. They’ve made their nest at The Harp Irish pub in Wilmington, on the Atlantic coast.
Bull City Gooners
Our next stop brings us to Durham, home of the Bull City Gooners, not to be confused with the Bay City Rollers. They’ve sensibly closed their Twitter page but you can still follow them on Facebook as well as their own website.
Bull McCabes Irish Pub on the high Street has been the Arsenal bar in Durham since 2012. It’s open for every Arsenal game, so come and soak in the matchday atmosphere while making some new friends. Fortunately, the bar has an outside patio large enough to accommodate the hoards of red & white-shirted fans who show up for those sunny game days.
Oak City Arsenal
A short drive south from Durham brings you to Raleigh NC, known for its density of oak trees. Oak City Arsenal sprouted up in 2018 and are now a proud, official Arsenal club. They watch games at Pearl & Peril on Glenwood Avenue. As long as there are Gunners fans who are eager to come together, cheer for their team, and support their community, this club will continue to grow as tall as any oak in town.
Queen City Gooners
Down in Charlotte where the Carolinas meet, the Queen City Gooners reign supreme. They offer a nice membership pack on their website that includes some very cool merchandise. This group formed in 2011 and a healthy number now watch Arsenal matches at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille in the heart of town where community, history and Gooners come together. Also of note, Charlotte is also the home of recent MLS franchise, Charlotte FC.
Asheville Armoury
If you’re looking for some red and white action in the Blue Ridge mountains, the Asheville Arsenal supporters in North Carolina’s High Country watch their games at a great English pub dedicated to showing soccer called Olde London Road. They’ve been nominated for best soccer bar in the country. Why not drop in for an après ski pint and an Arsenal match?
Camel City Gooners
Last but not least on our N Carolina road trip, our final stop is in Winston-Salem, home of the smoking hot Camel City Gooners, Unfortunately, the nickname refers to the cigarettes, but we won’t get the hump about that. The club was formed in 2013 and they watch Arsenal at the Small Batch Beer Company on West 5th Street in downtown Salem.
