Bar 1 is hands down the best cocktail bar in Charlotte. Great atmosphere, great food and drinks, and the staff is out of this world. When you go, ask for Krista. She’s the best!!!!

I’ve come here several times and every time I’ve enjoyed my experience. The ambiance is something that was missing from Southpark. Very chic vibe. Noah, Lisa, Chris, and Krista are always so friendly and great to interact with. The food is better than many bars in the area. The chopped salad and meatballs are my favorite. The Aviation cocktail is a must!! Definitely try this spot if you haven’t yet.

Excellent venue. Decor and ambiance were exceptional. Romantic, dark, comfortable. Food was perfect. We started with espresso martinis, mozzarella la scala appetizer, I had bucatini and my friend had the salmon. We ended the birthday celebration with the blueberry cobbler white chocolate cheesecake and devoured the whole piece. Every single dish was on point. I left absolutely stuffed! I will absolutely be going back! Well done team.

Great food! I truly recommend you to make a reservation.
I’ve seen a bit of comments regarding discrimination, it doesn’t strike me as odd. Upon entering the establishment, we could tell that things were pretty busy so we waited patiently to be seated. The lady at the hostess station didn’t give me hostess vibes, more so managerial, but I could be wrong. The short of what ruined our experience was her asking three different times if we had a reservation. I had even pointed to it on the screen once to give a visual confirmation. I didn’t see anyone else being interrogated or asked multiple times after us. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect, but it totally felt like we were being made to feel like we didn’t belong. The server really tried at the end, but the service just wasn’t great throughout. We had to ask to order and it felt like we were being ignored. No one even asked if we were celebrating anything and it was listed in the reservation. We still tipped 19.8%. There was a really nice lady who wasn’t our server who single-handedly elevated our experience. My sister made the best of it, but it was so disappointing to recommend this place and have an experience as such for her birthday. The half chicken is very flavorful, but the macaroni wasn’t anything near what one would expect from that caliber of an establishment and the cake wasn’t moist at all. I haven’t seen many apologies in response to other negative experiences, so I’m not expecting that. Please don’t be combative though, this review is honest.

Update to previous bad experience listed below*** have gone back and there have been changes. Atmosphere is nice, nice now extended lounge. Great service. Haven't had food so can't speak on that but will be going back.
Bad experience. We were seated and told server would be over,10,15 mins go by no service.the hostesses finally came over and said we are sorry we are trying to figure out who is going to serve you...!!! Instaed of just taking the drink order and saying I'll go ahead and put them in while I get your server.she just went back to her station.mind you it was slow in the back three tables tops who were being tended to can't help to feel it's that blacks don't tip prejudice. Especially when out of all the servers who were already back there,non black server, they sen a black young lady to serve us.she was very sweet and apologetic but we all know what we t down and it was uncomfortable for us. However again she was great! This was our second time coming and the last you don't treat people like that and we tip. Being that we both served at a time. Management get it together on your staff. The first time we came we had an older white lady from New York she was awsome😹 if she's gone get her back. The younger staff you had could use some hospitality training.
The place to be in South Charlotte. Love the food, music, and great service. Chris was our server and took great care of us! Make sure to ask for him when you come through.
