My son only had one ticket to the Hornets game so I hung out with him before the game at Connelly's and talked for hours, which was amazing. Very chill vibe and I had a few beers. This will relate to Gallery House soon-- I promise. After walking with him to the game, I walked back to Duckworth's and had a Bold Rock Cider Beer (really good) and a personal pizza (way better than I expected compared to Mooresville location). If you're keeping score, that's four beers and a small pizza. I was heading for The Local next but saw Gallery House across the street. I pulled out my phone, checked the rating/reviews (very high) and popped in. Well, it was supposed to be a pop in but I popped off. To be honest, I don't really know what 'popped off' means. It just flowed so I rolled with it. I went to another browser to look it up but I have never seen an expression have so many meanings. Apparently, it can mean anything from 'had a good time' to 'talked loudly' to 'selling party poppers on the exit ramp of a highway.' One of the above meanings is not true. Just a little game for you. And no intention to rhyme. Just dropping a dime. Anyway! The vibe at this joint is awesome. Very chill. The bartender was friendly and good at her job. Only one problem: she makes the strongest Old Fashioned in the history of mankind. I made the mistake of ordering a second one. That wasn't a good idea but it's 100% on me. I'm a friendly drinker. But I have moved away from liquor and just have two wines or three beers for a normal experience (since being hit by drunk driver in early 2025). However, on this night, I think I might have been unintentionally rude. Not mean. Just stupid. The best word might be 'brash.' The bartender told me I should go get some mozzarella sticks around the corner. Well played. I have never had that happen to me. I can laugh about it now. 100% sober. I don't like when I get out of control with people that seem chill. That bartender is probably a great conversationalist. It started out that way. Before I went to the moon (figuratively speaking). But, we always move forward. Side Note: Luna is a cool black lab that hangs there. My dog, Lulu, was originally Luna and also a black lab and came from a tough home so my son re-named her Lulu when she was nine months old. She is now 11. For those who don't know (the majority of people reading this): I no longer write books and use Google and Yelp as my writing outlet. My reviews are not standard and I view them as an opportunity for me to tap in to something I love but no longer do. They read more like short story reviews than critiques. I highly recommend this establishment for the chillest vibe in Charlotte. No exaggeration. I wish I hadn't been buzzed when I walked in or had a second drink but that's on me. Cool place and staff. Also: Don't listen to Jacob on his review. Looks like a child putting random things behind the counter? It's called creativity and expression, my guy! It's what makes the place shine and come to life. Never stifle someone's creativity. read more

Gallery House - Old Fashioned - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Just a really chill local art gallery and bar with the furbaby, Luna to greet often sit with you

Convinced this is one of the best deals in Charlotte! We stopped in for a drink before catching a show (a block away) at the Belk. The atmosphere is fun, with art from local artists and funky colors on the wall. They also have a bar dog! And you can buy a treat for her from the gumball machine - so cute. Drinks were very reasonable! They have a full selection of liquors, and martinis were $10 each!! Plus other options as well. The bar is not upscale, nor is it trying to be anything it's not. The bar tender was friendly, location was great, and solid drinks as well. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Loved it! Came here for a secret stash (IKYK). Jess was AMAZING and her partner, Gracon, was great! The art was impressive and the goods were legit! Come if you known! read more

I stumbled upon this place after leaving a show at Belk theater. What a cute lil gem! Great vibe inside and staff were awesome. They were playing old school cartoons and any place that's doing that is an automatic win in my book lol. The best employee award tho definitely has to go to the sweet pup Luna. What a sweet friendly doll baby. Everyone who came in instantly fell in love with her. Best greeter ever! read more

I'm always excited to see new places opening in Uptown, as the area was hit hard by Covid and it's good to see life returning. Recently I walked by Gallery House which is located on N Tryon St a few doors down from the historic Dunhill Hotel. While waiting for my dinner reservations nearby one night, I decided to check in here for a cocktail and see what the vibe is. The two behind the bar were very friendly and happy to welcome me in and tell me a little bit about the place. They were preparing for a Valentine's Day lingerie party so this place clearly knows how to have a good time! In addition to serving up great cocktails, they also function as an art gallery, with lots of unique pieces on the walls for sale. As such the vibe is definitely a little bit hipster, but very laid back and cool. There was a crowd of regulars which included an adorable dog who was so well behaved and loved to say hello to everyone. Such a good girl! If you are looking for after work drinks, have some time to grab a cocktail before dinner nearby, or maybe you just ate and are looking for a nightcap, then I highly recommend stopping in. They do not serve food but the cocktails are tasty and reasonably priced. read more

I got a chance to try Gallery House Cocktail Lounge and it was definitely a vibe. This place is perfect if you want to throw a private party. They do not sell food in this lounge but the drinks are so good and they try to have unique drink concepts. Gallery House also has the cutest dog Luna that greets you when you walk in. They have a nice mix of music playing as well. read more

Wonderful experience on our mid-day bar crawl. Drinks were awesome, one of them came in a pucker fish glass which obviously my woman loved. The art was all very unique and something I could actually see myself purchasing. Good vibes, music and very comfortable seating area. 10/10 read more

Gallery House - Puckerfish Drink -- Called Gillz? something - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Firstly, I originally liked the location. Drinks are sort of like a child that's just mixing different things behind the counter. I know that sounds harsh but true. Secondly, idk even explain it it's just so bizarre because they favor other customers over others. I've had friends that just didn't feel welcome there. Genuinely one of the oddest things I've experienced in a while. read more

This spot is dope! After enjoying last night's Orchestra Noir concert at the Belk Theater, we didn't want the night to end so we ended up checking this spot out. And man, are we excited we did! The vibe was top-tier, the ambiance was very relaxed and Julian behind the bar made magic with the cocktails. Personally I'm a sucker for details and spending any amount of time in the space, you will learn the owners were intentional about every selection. If ever in Uptown, give this spot a try! read more

Great atmosphere, good location, lovely bartender and they have the sweetest little dog!
