    Great Experience Our second time and not sure why we waited…read moreso long. Received great service - we told her our preferences and she picked a great wine and then an app - the crap dip and the wine were great! She also suggested the pork belly sandwich- very rich and delicious! Won't wait so long to go back

    10/10 do recommend getting the sampler platter. I almost passed away because it was so good. I…read moreloved EVERYTHING on it. Definitely will go again and eat one whole platter BY MYSELF! It has hummus, carrots, cucumbers, Deviled eggs. Bacon wrapped dates with jam. Spinach artichoke dip and pita bread. And the stuffed mushrooms. I want to go back on today. I also had the rose slushie and that was good as well. It's definitely a little splash of a drink. It's tasty but tiny. I think it was around $8. It comes in the flute you see pictured. I wish it was a little more bc we all know slushies slurp down to just ice once flavor goes. Either way, the menu was more vast than we had expected. We thought it was a pure wine bar with maybe charcuterie. But we were thrilled to see otherwise. We also looked at foods that others ordered & we will be back to try that too! The servers were kind. We had multiple servers check on us throughout our time. Very prompt and attentive. That made for a pleasant experience. We sat on the patio. And I survived for the most part, but it is allergy season haha. It is lovely out there and most guests joined on the patio. It is quaint and small.

    Definitely would not recommend attending a show here. Getting through security was more adventurous…read morethan getting through TSA at the airport. We saw them take a Sharpie from someone. The guy even explained that he wanted to meet the band after and have them sign his poster. Too bad. They sent various other people back to their cars for other minor things too. It did not make sense or make us feel any safer. It just made going to a show feel like a chore. Once we were inside we all wanted to grab a beer. This is definitely not the place to do that! They had about 5 beers to choose from all of which I would never ever drink nor would anyone else in our group which is saying a lot because we all have pretty diverse tastes. All of the beers were like $18, even the garbage beers. I expect that price as we pay $19/beer at the hockey games but the arena offers a great selection. I'll pay $19 for a good beer. I saved lots of money at The Underground since they don't have any beer worth drinking. The bartenders at the bar on the left were not friendly and not interested in answering any questions. We ventured to the bar on the right and a few of us ordered mixed drinks.

    As far as the sound here goes, it's great! Bathrooms are in the way back and they do have three…read morebars. However, there's very few seats and they were reserved for vip only. I didn't even see a handicapped seating area. Lighting is decent and one major positive was they had the a.c. cranked up high on the July evening we were there, when it was like 95 degrees outside. 2 major drawbacks...1. There's literally NOWHERE to park in the area for free. Th cheapest lot we found was around the corner and at the end of the street in a gravel lot and it was 12 bucks. Parking right at the venue is 40 bucks. 2. Drink and beer prices inside are way high. A shaker cup cocktail is 20 bucks and it's ALL ice. Refills are 17 bucks!!!! Another thjng I didn't like is that the box office is not attached to the venue and is up the street and they didn't take cash for tickets there. They also don't give you a paper ticket...they digitally text you a receipt and your tix too. Security has a walk through metal detector and they wand folks as well.

    Had a great first experience here attending a concert featuring a few 80's British artists…read more The place is nice, well organized and easy to get in and out of. We found parking a couple of blocks away for free. Security was easy to get through. They have lawn seating or actual seats. Lots of beverage stations, also some food trucks. We had great seats right in front of the stage, but honestly there's not a bad seat here as it's not a huge venue. Ticket prices are kinda steep as are the alcohol beverages served up in a plastic cup. I guess that's the norm these days though. I paid $100 for 2 beers and 2 mixed drinks. Sound was really good for the concert, it ran on time and overall was a great show. Located at The Bowl in Ballantyne where there are plenty of eating and drinking places. Great venue!

    Open since 2023. As you read older reviews you can tell that…read moremany things have changed. You CANNOT bring your own chairs for the lawn, you must rent on-site. There are many more alcohol options. I'm not a beer drinker but I saw the prices: the least expensive domestic was $16.50 24 oz. They go up from there for imports and craft beers. They have food tucks as well. They have easily accessible bathrooms but they are SMALL. The ladies line was SO Long but the men's seemed to be much shorter and was moving quickly. The men's was very SMALL. Susan and I were there to see String Cheese Incident. It was not sold out but well attended. LADIES must have your purse checked for size. no larger than 6" X 9" otherwise you CANNOT enter. The other option is bring a plastic see through at 12" X 12". You go through security gates then another line to get your wrist band. We had reserved seating row O section 221 and tix were a little over $100 bucks with fees/taxes. I thought the acoustics were good and the stage was very large and easily viewable angles. Parking can be a challenge, I found the BOYLE garage about 2 blocks away was FREE.

    This venue starts off strong as a stylish and comfortable lounge type area which was great for…read morewinding down with friends or easing into a night out. The ambiance early in the evening is relaxed outdoor seating needs to update the benches they're not comfortable and the woods starting to warp but, decent music, and a solid cocktail menu. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear your conversation and enjoy the atmosphere without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. However, as the night progresses and the vibe shifts into more of a "clubby" scene which ended up being a perfect combo but let's talk charges.. feels steep for what's essentially a modest venue without standout features. Drink prices were high like the cover but not in a way that reflects upgraded quality or service. For the area, there are other spots offering more for the same price or even less but with cozy comforts and inside seating, nicer facilities so it's easy to find things not to love if you come here to support a DJ friend like I did than pay the cover and mingle. It's not a bad place by any means, and the early lounge experience is definitely a highlight followed up with the banging DJ club scene after...it's just the paying premium rates for a relatively average experience for me.

    When you see a group, you want to see them in the right place. That's the right size. That has the…read moreright sound. The Rabbit Hole is that place. It's one of the best venues to see up and coming bands, as well as bands who are already well known from around the country. The stage is low but wide enough where everyone can actually see what's going on, which gives the venue an intimate feel. I like that it has some space in the back if you want a little room to back away to talk with your friends. This way you can do so at the bar area and not in the band area. Good size. Close location to uptown. Awesome bands. Great drink prices. If you're looking to try something new, give it a go.

    The place has Latin music on certain nights of the month. Our friends like to practice dancing…read morethere and I liked to join them. Unless you arrive early before the music starts, the parking is terrible there and sometimes I feel unsafe to walk through those alleys in the dark alone. However the guard to the place has given me the worst impression without respect or common sense a few times that discouraging me to go there again. When I asked my friends if they experienced that, a few even said they had never been asked to show ID to go into the place. Perhaps we are Asian female and look strange. At one time, my friend came from other state and left her driver license in the car at my home. She showed that she had a copy of ID, We are all beyond 50's, the security said she had to have the real driver license. Come on give us a break? We had to drive home to get it. Last night, I went there myself, not only this guard examined my driver's license to see if that's real, check my bag and even asked me to open my jacket that was just an pullover. What authorities did he had? That's an insult to a female. Should this place hire a female guard for female as well? Someone is wrong with those guys. Been to many nightclubs in Charlotte, this is the worst I've come across so far. Been in upper management in law enforcement all my life, here I then find one who doesn't need to bring his head but his power to work.
