    Been on my list to try forever! Really nice chill place. Bar seating, couches, tables and chairs and window bar which would be nice in the spring . Kinda a market and bar , they sell wine and beer and snacks. Also a menu to order off. Pizzas, sandwiches and snacks. We just had drinks. They have a nice cocktail list and some specials everyday. Beer on tap and Prosecco on tap! $4 mimosas on Sunday ! Bar tender runs the show and served us well. Great casual place to meet people or just get a drink. Glad I finally checked it out.

    Stopped by real quick to buy a bottle of wine. We were looking for a bottle of prosecco, but unfortunately, they did not have any. My friend ended up getting a sour beer. I saw they sold boxes of whiteclaw's, and I just wanted one, but they were so polite and got one for me from one of the boxes, which I truly appreciated. Ambiance was everything here. It was around 8 p.m., and it was super calm. Plans and chic decor everywhere. They have a bar with seating as well as a couple of lounge chairs and seating outside. Def recommend if you are in the area.

    Exchange at 36th is such a cute and cozy setting with a chill vibe. Great location and different seating options. The bartenders were amazing and suggested some great options. Bacon & ranch tots were delish 9/10. Tried orange wine for the first time and it was good. It's right in between dry and sweet. The set up of the bar and shop is great. You can come in to grab and go or sit & relax.

    The exchange is a great spot for Sunday brunch! They start serving food at 12, but if you arrive a little bit early coffee and mimosas are available. They do mimosa flights and have a ton of options including: pear, pineapple, orange, peach, strawberry, mango and more. My personal favorites are strawberry and mango. Parking is behind the building and it is best to come through on n Davidson street. They usually have spots available, but if not street parking can also be found close by. We tried a couple items on the menu and all were delicious!! Their pancakes are sweet and have a great flavor with a ton of butter too. The spam sliders were very yummy and my first time trying spam. The breakfast burrito is also great and it is toasted on both sides before it's served. Strongly recommend!!

    Espresso martinis

    A group of us walked by this place one day and just had to stop by it was so cute! My friend and I ordered the espresso martinis and they were one of the best I've had before. The bartender was also super helpful when helping our other friends pick out a drink to order. We grabbed a few snacks from the shop and enjoyed our lil stop by.

    Stopped here on a rainy weekend and was pleasantly surprised at what we found tucked away in this corner of NoDa. I got a peach cocktail that was delicious and after that switched to beer on tap. I would definitely come back here for drinks again as the vibe lends itself to hanging out, drink in hand. We ordered the loaded tots, a wrap, and Italian sandwich and all were delicious. The bartenders were super nice and attentive and you can tell they definitely have their regulars, but make everyone feel welcome.

    Pork bbq nacho. Super yummy

    My friend & I had a fabulous time painting 2 of our favorite artists hosted by @iv_logan at @theexchangeclt! He hosts a "paint your artist sip n paint" every other Monday @7pm for $40 (glass of wine included). WHEN you go, make sure you have #Six make you one of his wonderful sangrias & the pork bbq nachos. Babyyyyy, both are delicious! Good vibes, friendly people, great food & drinks and reasonable prices! Can't wait to go back

    Espresso martinis or their version of it. So good!! Highly recommend

    Good vibes. Stumbled upon this bar one night before a concert up the street. They were having a wine tasting/ appetizer event which was a bit awkward walking into but went to bar and bartender told us we can still order through him and was very helpful with suggestions. Excellent customer service. Found a cozy spot on couch and enjoyed cocktails and some food. Caesar salad wrap was excellent. Very flavorful and delicious. Definitely will return when in NoDa.

    The exchange is kinda like a sandwich shop/small market with a bar. I've been numerous times and have enjoyed my experience every time. There specialty cocktails are great and they do offer food. Mitchell is the bar tender that my boyfriend and I have made friends with. He is extremely friendly and helpful! We've started going on Sunday for their mimosa flights but the margaritas are also wonderful. A great place to stop into for food or a drink whether at night or in the daytime.

    I stopped by for lunch today. I had been by here before back in 2021 before I moved to Charlotte. I only got drinks that time and didn't realize they served food. Today makes me wish I knew about the food before. I got the chicken Caesar wrap and the buffalo chicken sliders. Both were delicious. The wrap was pressed which made for a nice crisp and contained just the right amount of dressing for my liking. The buffalo chicken sliders (3) were dripping and messy just as they needed to be. I surprisingly loved the Queen Charlotte Blue Cheese Pimento Cheese since growing up I never ate/liked pimento cheese. It wasn't crowded at all which made it perfect for me to work while waiting on my food. The TV was on sports without sound while soft music played. There is also outside seating which seems like it would be nice.

    Basically peanut butter and cranberry. Get this is if you feeling nutty.

    Cozy, cool ambience and delicious cocktails. The bartenders…read morehave a wealth of knowledge in their craft and can make something for even the pickiest of drinkers. Make a reservation or enjoy the standing bar space, as walk-in seating is limited, especially on the weekends.

    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.

    We pop in for bingo (second Tuesday of the month) and always have a great time!…read more Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so I often find myself parking across the street, though I'm usually going at a busier time. The bar is divey, and you can find very cheap drinks, especially if you go for the daily specials. The bartenders are nice - beware that they do keep your card if you keep your tab open - and seem to know the regulars. In addition to monthly bingo, they seem to host drag events, have video games and board games available to play, as well as several TVs. Plus, dogs can go inside and out. The bar does not serve food, though usually there is a vendor there. Looking forward to next month!

    Part neighborhood pub, part dive bar, Hattie's has a reputation as a hipster hang out (I don't mean…read morethat in a bad way but I know some may take it that way). There is no food but they have cheap drinks, old school games, a spacious patio, and they host cool events like bingo night. Their motto is "Mind your P's and Q's" which I found amusing. I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.
