I had a really disappointing experience here due to the behavior of someone associated with the…read morestaff. One of the bartenders apparently only works one shift a week but frequently comes in as a guest. During my visit, she became aggressive and confrontational and attempted to start an argument with me over her boyfriend. There were at least four witnesses who agreed that I did nothing wrong and that I actually walked away from the situation. Despite that, we were still "politely asked to leave" while she continued to escalate and lose control. It's frustrating to see this kind of behavior tolerated, especially from someone connected to the staff. Management really needs to do a better job of controlling situations like this and ensuring that employees (on or off the clock) act like adults in a bar setting. Because of this experience, I won't be returning and I'm unsure whether my local friends will continue to frequent this place.

Jasmine served us promptly and efficiently, yet never made us feel rushed. Her timing was impeccable -- drinks arrived quickly, food was delivered seamlessly, and she checked in with us at just the right moments. She has outstanding menu knowledge and confidently guided us through recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious! What truly made the experience stand out was her personality. When she asked what we were celebrating and we told her it was a girls' weekend, she lit up and made it feel special. She was friendly, personal, and engaging without ever losing her professionalism. It felt like we were being taken care of by someone who genuinely enjoys what she does. Jasmine is fast, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. She represents what exceptional service should look like and honestly should be the face of service at Fume. We left so happy -- the food was amazing, but Jasmine's service is what made the experience unforgettable. Five stars all around!

I'll start with the pros: It's a nice, chill spot to relax and the vibe is cool. The flavor of the…read morehookah I had was nice and fruity (forgot the name of it). Disclaimer: Please keep in mind there was a total of 7 other patrons in the Building during my visit. It's sad to say that this establishment falls in line with the rest of the Black owned establishments in Charlotte with poor customer service. My visit started off ok with the customer service and then it went nonexistent. Let's start with the "Cockotail" menu. Yes, the word cocktail is incorrectly spelled on the menu --and this was not intentional. PLEASE RUN THE SPELL CHECK AND UPDATE THIS PLEASE!! It's embarrassing ! I came here on a Friday night during the finals, and I ordered drinks and hookah. There was an issue with our hookah not pulling, so we asked the bartender if they could look into it. Five to ten minutes go by, no one comes by to assist. The wait time would've been acceptable if there were a lot of people in the place, but it wasn't. I went back to the bar and had to remind the bartender to please check on the hookah. They finally came over and then returned the hookah about another 10 minutes later and the hookah issue was resolved. My guest ordered one drink and it came out in a decent amount of time. We ordered a second drink and we were told that they would bring it right out. We literally watched the bartender with the curly hair sitting down to talk with another patron and she NEVER brought the drink. At that point, we were irritated because I'm not going to keep on reminding someone to do their job, especially when it is slow. I am so appreciative that a man paid for our bill because I was most certainly going to have a conversation with the manager due to the lack of customer service. If the service was this poor on a slow night, don't bother wasting your time going in when place is packed. I'm not sure if this place is new, but they have some kinks to work out because it makes NO SENSE as to why you are paying for customer service that you cannot get. It is so irritating that you can't go anywhere these days and not have some type of issue when you go out. The purpose of going out is to relax and have a good time, not to be irritated your entire visit. I could've stayed home and saved money. Unfortunately, returning here is not on the top of my priority list. My best advice is to stand at the bar and watch them make your drink or bring your hookah so you can guarantee that you get your items in a timely manner.

This place is a rip-off! I went to an R&B night with my girls and were told we could only sit down…read moreif I bought a booth. So, I did. We arrived at 10 p.m., and I was gone by 11:30 p.m. In that time, we only got hookah. The drinks never came. The booth size was absurd, so other customers kept asking if they could take a seat because there was nowhere else to sit. I'm sure not every group payed for a booth because everyone in there was sitting down. By about 11 p.m., the scene was still dead, and the vibe was non-existent. I spoke to a hookah girl and asked for a refund because this place was just not worth it. They had to call the manager and he said I wouldn't be charged, and free to go. I waited to write this post to see what the outcome would be because I ended up being charged and ended up having to file a complaint with my bank. I had no receipts, and the manager stopped responding after he agreed to meet me to fix the matter. I was scammed $300 by this place, and it wasn't worth the headache. Drinks were nonexistent, and the service was slow. Experience Trash.

We started with the large Bavarian pretzel, served warm with queso and spicy mustard--perfect for sharing. The Boar's Head pastrami sandwich was outstanding, piled high with jalapeño-kraut, melted Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on toasted marble rye. The Hot Mama pizza was a standout: classic cheese pizza topped with Italian sausage, honey, and fresh basil (I skipped the red pepper flakes--just a personal preference). A great spot for good food, good drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Check out the plates on walls and ceilings for people that drank a certain amount of different beers.

Perfect setting for private events, girls or couple date night. This place is/ was a hidden gem. Unfortunately they are closing down this month. We had an absolute fabulous time.

Firstly this establishment is owned by two sisters. They were absolutely amazing, the ambiance was nice, a small intimate space but there was room enough to get up and cut a rug! Unfortunately they will be closing their doors permanently. This beautiful gem is located within a shopping strip mall and is so easy to miss, the vibe here was so good I hate that I have not known about them up until now as I could definitely see myself coming here more often now that I have been here. Parking was plentiful! Service was slow, but they were down about 4 staff members so there was literally only one person taking orders, preparing and serving the food, so we completely understood. And plus the service was great so it definitely made up for it! They paired the girl scout cookies with the wine and had us score the pairing. The host was very engaging and gave us a description and origin of each wine that was selected. I've neve experienced anything like this, it was so engaging and well orchestrated. They had a small menu of items that you could order for small bites. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was really yummy! And the garlic Parmesean wings, the wings had a bit of a kick to them and were a bit too salty for my liking, but they were cooked well and very meaty, if you like that sort thing! They also had 5 dollar drinks/cocktails available to order a well. The entire time they had a DJ playing all the hits and after the wine tasting, people got up and danced, laughed and had a good Ole time on the dance floor. It was such a great experience! I'm really sad that our community didn't show up enough to save this gem, I hate to see spaces like this go. But, I'm wishing the owners much success and blessings. Their closing day is March 14th 2026 and they are going to have a celebration, go out and support them!
