One of the best spots in Charlotte!
One of the most unique and best bar experiences in Charlotte. Great NA options as well. Located in a really cool old building, feels like a portal to Bushwick.
This place is very cool with indoor and outdoor seating. They have been and wine but I would recommend a Vermouth cocktail!
