    Went to a bar craw this weekend and this was our first stop! This place was jumping. It's pretty spacious with and the Dj was playing all the hits! Bartenders where cool, nice and didn't skimp on the alcohol!!

    After dinner we tried out prohibition to get a drink. The place was dead but it was only 8pm. We heard later that this place may not get going until after 10pm. The bar is nice the outdoor patio is cool since you can sit outside enjoy a cocktail and watch the people and cars go by on Tryon. The bartenders were plentiful and they were responsive to our needs. I am not sure they serve food but they have a full bar and plenty of tvs.

    Recently went here for a quick drink around when it opened. It was a really neat atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. I had an old fashion and my husband had a gin and tonic. We definitely need to go back when it is alter because it turns into a night club!

    The place is very nice and the bartender was lovely. The only thing is that the drinks were not good at all. Ordered a whiskey ginger and legit was all ginger with a splash of whiskey.

    Shake what your mama gave you. Best dance club/bar in the city. The bartenders were great. The action usually starts around 10:30

    She made us the chocolate covered strawberry which includes strawberry moonshine, and was quite a large shot.

We were a walk in but were able to score a table outside which was perfect. The drinks are good and the staff members work as a team so there's not one primary waitress. I ordered a custom drink where I told the server what I liked and the bartender created something based on my likes. It was a "fruity" tequila based drink and I enjoyed it. We were given a bowl of complementary kettle corn to enjoy with our drinks. The music was a mix of r&b and hip hop and was loud enough to vibe but didn't overpower the conversations. Random Notes: Parking is validated and the hidden bathroom was so cute. The inside is perfect for selfies lol.

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    AMAZING spot! One of the best lounges in Charlotte. Very intimate and romantic…read more You need to make reservations for the bar walk-in are welcome and they will sit you in the tables. Enjoy cocktails made specifically to your liking. If there is a drink you like they can make it for you based off what you like. Drinks we had was an Old Fashioned and a twist on a french 75 (made with tequila and passion fruit) need to try it. GREAT service mixologist here are amazing. Its a show! Thank you guys!

    Honestly some of the most rude, negligent service I've experienced in a while…read more Context: Bar was at 25% capacity I pride myself on being a genial, accommodating person Attempted multiple times to thoughtfully engage staff From the moment we entered, our service staff was either dismissive, condescending, or negligent. Could not leave fast enough. The overall decor and vibe was great, just our assigned person was lackluster in every regard. EDIT (5/27/28): When we entered and sat down, to the bartenders credit, he swiftly asked us what we wanted. As we were describing the general vibe of the drinks we wanted, the attitude of the bartender manifested as very condescending and lacking in general back-and-forth discourse. Despite the dismissive attitude, but after the drinks were made, we attempted to thank the bartender, but his only response was a derisive chortle before walking off. For the remainder of our stay, he was flirting with some female patrons at the other end of the bar. Sharing pictures, conversation, and general good service while we were ignored until we asked for the check to pay and leave as quickly as possible.
