    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.

    I had an enjoyable experience. I ordered the NYC falafel which, although it could be a bit larger,…read morewas very good. The default side was fries and I asked if there were any substitutions. One was a small side Caesar salad which I got. I was disappointed in the continuing practice for restaurants to charge for small changes like this within informing the customer. Waitress was very nice, however and attentive. What is also quite unique about the restaurant was that you could order small 4 oz beers, just for tasting at $2-3 each. The place is quite large and must get incredibly noisy at times with the hard surfaces and multiple TVs. There is an option to sit directly at the bar or at tables.

    The Degenerate is a cool, industrially designed space featuring great bites and drinks. What I love…read moremost is that the menu puts a unique spin on a lot of traditional, classic items. If you are looking for recommendations, I highly suggest trying: The Meatballs: A fantastic twist on a classic, served in a delicious lemon dill sauce instead of a typical marinara. The Sliders: Perfect pulled pork paired with fried green tomatoes and a tangy horseradish sauce. They also feature a highly creative and unique cocktail menu. Two of my personal standouts are the Beetle Juice, which incorporates fresh beet juice, and The Fishbone, which brilliantly highlights their house-made aquavit. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a great atmosphere and an inventive menu!

    We got on the walk-in list 30 minutes before arriving, but when we got there, the host told us it…read morewould still be about an hour wait. There were several "reserved" tables that remained empty until after we had finished eating, so I think the restaurant could benefit from a better reservation system with more accurate buffer times to accommodate walk-in guests. To avoid the wait, we decided to sit at the bar, and I'm glad we did because the food was amazing. The fried chicken and waffles were perfectly seasoned, and the waffle had a unique texture and flavor that reminded me of a combination of a traditional waffle and a soft pretzel. The cheesy potato cake was absolutely delicious. The fruit bowl was also good, but I wish they had been a little more generous with the blueberry pudding. The shrimp and grits came with large tomatoes, which may not be for everyone, and my friend felt the dish was lacking grits overall. She didn't feel like she got her money's worth. Would I go back? Absolutely. My meal was delicious, and I can't wait to return and try more of their homemade, fresh dishes. I also think it's great that they partner with local farmers to help curate their menu.

    Great food!! Loved the fried chicken and biscuits the most. The fried green tomatoes were so good…read moreand it was my first time having them. I also tried the charred okra which was good. Mac & cheese was alright. Cocktails were great. We also tried their champagne tender and it was super crispy and had the taste of champagne. Service was decent. Only downside is if you make a reservation online, you will not be refunded the $3 per person fee and it is also not taken off your bill.

    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.

    Had the pleasure of bringing a newly 21-year-old here for drinks. She wanted to try some fun drinks…read moreand fun drinks did she try. She really likes the Lavender Gin Fizz but did not like the Jalapeño Lime Margarita. She thought it was too spicy. It tasted fine to me maybe it the uncultured 21 year old palette. Her absolute favorite was the Pineapple Soju drink. She drank several shots. I sampled the Soju drink and enjoyed it. I love that it comes in a beaker and you get to pour it into smaller beaker shot glasses! So cute. For my main drink, I got the strawberry mule. It was very refreshing and made well. Labaratory 2315 N Davidson St Charlotte, NC 28205 (Review 28 in 2024 and 828 overall)

    Located in Urban District Market, which is a food hall that just opened last spring. Only the bar…read morearea within the hall is currently open, but they have a large enclosed area that could be used for private functions and it has its own private entrance. It looks as though, once the project is fully developed, they may stay open after hours for late night functions. They offer cocktails, specialty drinks, and a variety of beers. They bar is large and spacious and they conveniently have a child's play area next to one end for those with little ones. I tried the Mango Soju which seemed pretty popular for the evening. Soju is a clear, distilled Korean alcohol beverage. It's $18, but big enough to share with others. It tasted pretty good. You can't taste the alcohol, but it kind of sneaks up on you. I might try another flavor next time.
