I went for a girls night out. This was my first time. Parking was tight but I got a spot close by. We had reservations which I would suggest as it is not very large. They don't have food but have lite bites. There is a spot next door that you can bring in which is nice. I got a drink and it was good. Didn't get anything special but my friends did and loved them. I think everyone got one of the speciality drinks. I enjoyed the experience and they have a hidden bathroom. I will definitely be back to enjoy an evening out.

Sneak gets every 5-star I've got! Yes, it's THAT good! Sneak is located in the Elizabeth neighborhood of Charlotte and is a gem! Inside, while not the biggest, uses the space in a great way! It actually gives you cozy, intimate vibes! Sneak has amazing drinks, smalls bites (or bring your own food) and excellent music and vibes! Service was amazing and everything was on point! Can't wait to go back!

Super nice vibe, delicious cocktails and a fancy restroom! So this spot I highly recommend trying them out. It's a nice vibe, really great live music (jazz piano and singing) and great service. She was available but not too much. For one drink I asked for green chartreuse and dark aged rum and it was delicious. The second drink was their special called the love potion which is a mezcal based drink and it was very good if you like mezcal. The bartender knew what he was doing. The old fashioned was very good, small quantity as expected, but the quality was great. Also, check out the restroom it is cute. They ran out of all their snacks so we could not get any food so maybe next time we can try that. Over all a great speakeasy type vibe.

Sneak is a super cute bar lounge with a very laid back vibe. I enjoyed hanging out here with a group of friends (make a reservation for a large group). It's a small spot so be prepared to sit near others. They have a small bites menu however the restaurant next door (Bang Bang Burgers) will bring you food if you go next door to order it. The drink was amazing and the hostess was attentive. There is outdoor seating with heating lamps and also music.

Friends have been telling me about this spot for awhile. I finally made time to go and check it out. We went on a Wednesday in order to take advantage of Tiny Desk Wednesdays and to celebrate a friend's birthday. Thankfully we made reservations in advance since we had a larger party. Sneak is very intimate with seating at the bar as well as a few tables. They offer a very limited food (think snacks) menu. Our server was patient with us as we asked all the questions. Lol. Some of us ordered from the drinks that were on special, whole others opted to try other drinks. Everyone was really happy with their orders. Despite it being a Wednesday, it stayed pretty busy. The owner even came over to check on us. Overall, this is a great little spot to enjoy a nice vibe and drinks. I'll definitely be back!

You may need reservations if you come later! Super cool spot my girls and I went to after an early dinner! If you don't want a full cocktail they have mini options! I had the creeper cucumber! So yummy and refreshing on a hot night. My friend had the toasted rice pineapple--- we don't recommend! Too much soy sauce. And our other friend got a yummy mini espresso martini. She loved the small glass it came in. It was very small maybe two shots worth. We sat inside and it was a very cool vibe to bring a date or hang with friends before going out! It's like a luxe speakeasy vibe super cool! Oh and the hostess was amazing super friendly! She seemed to be the server and hostess! So be patient Tip: Oh and bring cash! You'll get a discount. Or not charge the credit card fees

Mini Cocktail Flight

I truly loved hanging out at sneak. From the music to the lighting and ambiance. Definitely gives you late night cocktail vibes. The team was extremely nice and so knowledgeable about their craft cocktails. Definitely recommend. I went Tuesday night and got to try their mini cocktail flight that was definitely took me on a journey of flavor and expression.

We enjoyed our time at SneakCLT. We went after work. The venue is on the smaller side and got crowded quickly... seemed like it was a neighborhood cocktail bar where people gathered for happy hour. We attended for an event . The drinks were good and the people in my party enjoyed theirs. Service was great too, bartender remade made my drink since I wasn't really satisfied with his recommendation.

We came in on a Saturday around 8. It was pretty full, it's a intimate space. They also have outside seating. Best to try to have reservations but we got lucky. I ordered the Don't shy away, which had tequila, carrot sour... Yes I said carrot sour... And a few other things. Presentation was pretty and the drink was oh so tasty... I ordered 2. Cocktails address and 15-20 dollars. They have different events and specials throughout the week. The staff was super friendly and I enjoyed my visit. Try them out!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to Sneak. We sat at the bar on a Tuesday night--it was nearly empty. The drinks are made with care and attention. Tuesday nights, they watch Tiny Desk videos and it's open to anyone to update. I would love to come other nights, but definitely enjoyed this evening.

Amazing craft cocktail bar in Elizabeth area of Charlotte .....they know their drinks here for sure. Service was amazing, every bartender there knew every drink and every liquor they sold . Small and intimate setting inside with couch seating and bar seating and a few outdoor but your in a parking lot . They serve some classic drinks and they have an awesome creative cocktail menu.With wine and beer too and a few small bar bites. We sat at the bar as that's the place to see all the action ! We tried several drinks and everyone was so good and truly unique. I had the honest deception and Don't shy away. Both very different, one was a tad spicy with carrot sour and the other was creamy and floral . My friends had the slick SOB and the silent seranade . Also the mezcal negroni and clear ambiguity. All of these are so cleverly constructed and intense in taste. They have definitely done their research . We also had the fresh baked bread, which essentially was ciabatta with a cheese and herb spread and a red pepper jelly. Good to soak up the alcohol ! Don't forget to visit the nice bathroom behind the bookcase! Loved this little gem . Hard to find a bar these days that creates each drink rather than batches them. Recommend a reservation on weekends as it is small inside . Great bar to start or end at in Elizabeth.

Excellent drinks here! The service is wonderful and the music was great as well! All the cocktails are made with lots of love and effort and you truly taste it! This is a great place to come for your birthday or a chill vibe! They also have tasty non alcoholic drinks!

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.

I normally don't leave reviews, but after what I witnessed tonight, I felt like I had to say…read moresomething. My husband and I were seated near a table that spent almost the entire evening talking down to one of the servers -- the taller guy with the tattoos down his left arm. From where we were sitting, he stayed calm, polite, and professional the whole time, even while being interrupted, snapped at, and spoken to disrespectfully over things that honestly weren't even his fault. At one point I genuinely felt embarrassed for the people at that table because of how rude and entitled they were acting in public. Meanwhile, this server kept handling everything with patience and a good attitude when most people probably would've walked away. I just wanted management to know that the server handled himself incredibly well last night, and as another customer in the room, I thought he deserved recognition instead of the treatment he got.

Warm atmosphere, polished service, and a plate that proves they know how to turn simple into exceptional.

Here's an example of their vintage offerings.  This old dusty was distilled in 1960.  Great pour!

I finally got to check out Lorem Ipsum for a friends birthday a couple of weeks ago and it was a…read morewhole vibe. Being there felt like I was in my house, from the plants, to them playing Beverly Hills Cop on the projector and all of the Black artists on the walls. It was very refreshing!!! It's so rare to go to a business and see anything familiar so this was truly inspiring. We stayed for about 30 mins because we got there right before they closed. It was fun to explore the hotel rooms and just be in this dope energy. I didn't have a full cocktail, just sipped and tried a few of my friends. I can see this being a great date night spot, or some where to go to unwind and just catch the vibes. I wish it was bigger but it's a cute spot for sure!! I was super surprised about the parking lot in the back too. That has to be very helpful for them in Plaza Midwood area. Will definetly be back!!

So this place is very cool and very vibey. There are DJs and the projection is a really nice touch…read more The menu is small and drinks are interesting - I got something with sage in it and was good. The issues we faced were not having a reservation - the options online were wide open so we thought it was safe to show up - and had to wait a long time. In hindsight, I should've went ahead and made the reservation, so I'll take responsibility, but was disappointing for the experience to be so different than we expected. We were able to sit outside and waited for about 40 mins to get our table. Service was very slow. It just felt like they were really understaffed. We were there for probably 2ish hours and only got 1 drink (the one outside) as it was so hard to flag down our waitress, etc. I suspect that this place, having recently received awards / gone viral, is a victim of a huge influx of people stopping by. I wanted to love it! I'd go back during off hours and definitely make a reservation. The vibe was really cool, and the music was great. Parking is questionable, there's a gravel lot that is shared with the restaurant next door. We parked on the street, was unclear if they tow there or not.
