Really cool spot. Food was good! Don't sleep on the sliders. Service was solid as well, ambiance stood out to me! Dj was mixing with og vinyls, great song selection, amazing crowd! read more

The food is Amazing and the DJs are doing their job! This last time a friend and I set at the bar and received Excellent Service from young handsome man (not sure of race...had tattoo....pretty eyes...light skin....wore hat...think he was black but not sure) while at the bar. The disappointment came when aggressive lady came in and motioned me to give my plate to her....she was Rude! She did ask if I was done or say excuse me can I take that for you etc... She busted motioned for me to give too her. Now this is my 2nd bad experience with the lady servers at this location. Not sure what the issue is but it needs to ve fixed! I wrote comment last year....got response to reach out to management etc. I did and too this day...no response back. I assume my opinion does not matter. read more

Checked this place out on a Saturday, late afternoon. Cool spot, great music, awesome vibe. Servers were less than attentive. Ordered two appetizers for two people to share. No plates or napkins were dropped off before, with, or after the food. We had to wait for the server to come by to ask for what we needed. The food was good. We ordered the salt & vinegar chips and the peri peri wings. Hot, fresh and good flavor. My only real gripe is the online menu does not match the in-store menu. I have Celiac Disease and cannot eat gluten. There were more gluten free options to choose from with the online menu. Upon arriving to the restaurant, there were not as many options on the same menu. If I'm ever in Charlotte again, I'd go back to Vinyl, because the food was delicious. I would just hope for better service the second time around. read more

Great spot to grab brunch! The interior decor is designed like a record store and has great music playing! The service was fast and friendly! The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. The poached egg poutine was very delicious, although eggs were cooked a little too much! The portions aren't huge, but everything tasted amazing! Definitely check this place out on your stop for brunch in CLT!! read more

Stopped thru here to have a bite with my best friend and it was a beautiful little spot. The bartender was kind and got us taken care of right away. The food was really top tier, quality products. My favorite thing was the fried artichokes and we got the wagyu burritos and whipped ricotta and shishito peppers and wings! A smorgasbord of everything. It all was really good!! I will be happy when I get to come back from ATL. read more

Wanted to try out this spot the last time I was in Charlotte but didn't get the chance. Had been running around Uptown and NoDa area all day and wanted to kick Happy Hour into gear and took the opportunity to ride the Lynx light rail down to the South End area. Vinyl bar was just a short walk from the Bland Street exit and really convenient to get too. The space itself is pretty cool and is music themed with DJs spinning most nights starting at 8pm. The overall feel of the space is industrial and appears to have been possibly a converted garage based on the rollback doors that separate the indoor/outdoor seating and door opposite the entrance doors. The menu offerings were pretty standard pub grub with salad options thrown in for good measure. I wanted to eat light her because I had plans for dinner nearby so I ordered a Caesar Salad w/ Avocado which turned out to be really good ! Nice selection of draft beers was available and I chose to the Kiran Ichiban. The ambiance here is really nice and can serve as a spot to catch a game, hangout for music listening or dinner. read more

Chose to come in for a last minute birthday. Showed up with a big pen because it was my birthday. NBd , but was hoping the bartenders gave some sort of recognition . It became very apparent my birthday , by myself wasn't celebrated enough when I ordered a drink and the bartender, ignored my pin and just didn't care. It was cool this bar being open until 2 but honestly save yourself! read more

My first time checking this place out and I got the garlic bread Margherita pizza. The pizza was flavor with a good amount of cheese and sauce. The bread was crispy with a buttery garlic taste. It was not the best I've had but pretty good. I would order it again. The service was good and the restaurant is laid back with nice musical influence art on the wall. I would go back and try something else. read more

Vinyl has a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere--it's got a beat you can feel the moment you walk in! I arrived famished (as in, I hadn't seen a break all day), and I had my heart set on some fried fish. Sadly, the fish wasn't quite cooked to our liking, so it didn't give me that "first-time wow" I was hoping for. It was a slight skip on the record, but not a broken track! My server, Angie, was absolutely amazing! I still kick myself for not recalling the name of the cocktail, but it was OUTSTANDING! Angie was thoughtful enough to make a special exception to get it for me when another lady was enjoying it. That kind of service is what truly makes a restaurant shine. Thank you, Pro-Tip: I hear they have lines around the corner in the evenings on the weekends. For weekday lunch you'll be able to park directly on the street without a wait. read more

Vinyl is cool, but going again for the 1st time in almost 3 years reminded me why I don't go lol. It's not the place it's the people there. I know South End is lively, I get it. But whew, we went on a Satur-DAY, day time lol. It was pretty packed, we lucked up with a table outside. There was a super drunk lady yelling and arguing with another gentleman who was also drunk. They exchanged words and middle fingers. The girl even started to argue with the security guy. Just sad. Once she left it got better. I only had a drink called a hot and dirty martini. It was cute, strong and spicy. Our server was great! He checked on us a bunch, turned off a heater when we asked and also kicked out an obnoxious guy who was constantly blowing a whistle inside. Yea, good ole South End.... My only other issue is how loud it gets there. We eventually had to just leave, it was painfully loud and rowdy. We were screaming at each other and still saying "huh". Cool spot if you're into that kinda vibe. I shall keep my old lady vibes away in the future lol. read more

We came during brunch on a sunday. The decor was super cute, i love the art work displayed and they have it decorated for the holidays. I ordered the biscuit and gravy. It's a biscuit cut in half with gravy and served with an egg that you can have prepared how you like. It was super tasty! We also tried the Wings, 8/10 to me. The ranch was really good! We sat at the bar and bartender was friendly and attentive. I tried the Bidi bidi drink and it was really good. I'd try them out again. read more

Got there early on a Friday night (8:45) as suggested. Although we waited for a seat (no one was at the hostess station) a member of the security team got us seated. The music wasn't extremely loud so we were able to have conversation without yelling. The place is very nicely decorated which makes for amazing photo ops. We ordered Brussel sprouts, chicken sliders and steak frites. All of it was amazing! We left talking about how good the food was and how'd we'd come back for sure. I had the I Want a New Drug cocktail and everyone else had the Sex, Drugs and Taylor Swift. Everyone was pleased. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cute spot for amazing small plates and drinks. read more

Love coming to Vinyl, it's always a vibe, my favorite days are Wednesdays and Thursdays. The crowd is usually a bit older and the music is top tier! It's a great place to meet people, the bar tenders and servers are very attentive and you usually don't have to wait long for a drink! One of my favorite spots in Southend! read more

Security was efficient and polite right from the start , which helped set a good tone. We stopped by for a cocktail and the place was packed, but thankfully snagged seats at the bar just in time . The vibe and atmosphere were really nice , energetic without feeling chaotic. A quick heads up for the ladies , there are only two stalls and the line gets beyond fierce fast , and we noticed a line for the men's room too. We used rideshare , so I can't speak to parking, but it made getting in and out easy. Drinks were enjoyable and the bar staff kept things moving despite the crowd . I'd love to revisit when it's a little less crowded to fully soak it all in . read more

I LOVED this spot! We stopped in on Saturday afternoon and were excited to check out the Halloween Pop-Up. It did not disappoint! The decor was super cool in general and the spooky elements were icing on the cake. We parked at a lot about a block up by the Backyard and walked down. Our bartenders were great! Very nice and efficient. There was a DJ and the music was hoppin! We didn't have food this trip but we did each have a brunchy drink and WOW! My friend had the Back to Black which may have taken the top spot in her list of favorite drinks. Espresso Martini who!? I could definitely replace my morning coffee with the B2B My Bloody Mary was also delicious and very well made. I loved the large bacon slices on top. It was spicy (per my request) but not TOO spicy. Delicious! We were only in town for 24 hours and strongly considered coming back here for a second drink, but we ran out of time. I will definitely add VINYL to my list for every CLT trip from now on! read more

We ventured out from the west side and tried Vinyl... it was so great! Olivia our server had great recommendations and the place is just cool and chill. We tried the whipped ricotta with a pumpkin puree and seasonal squash... the spices were to die for.. very seasonal but amazing. I did not ask if it changes but so yummy. Also the ribeye roll ups with a consume so tasty, also so much meat... all the way through. So my pros... go there! The service was great from someone clearing our table on the regular and the food and the great vibe. My cons.. it is LoSo if you can't walk try to find free parking, which is tough. We paid it was a date day it was $16.95 for 6 hours. We will be back! They had a great bar with some TV's we were outside, because a beautiful day one TV with the Panthers, but we will support our team. Just and all around great date day read more

VINYL - French dip tacos, garlic Parmesan fries, hot honey chicken sliders - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went on a week day so it was fairly empty as compared to the night life on weekends. Staff/bartenders were friendly and great. Decided to grab food here while a friend and I grabbed drinks. As shown, the nachos were packed with toppings. I thought it was good, but not mind blowing. The green goddess Caesar salad on the other hand... one of the best salads I've had in my personal opinion. I love the flavors of the fresh dill, nicely chopped romaine... mixed in with avocado and dressing. You can get grilled or fried chicken to add as a protein. The fried chicken was cooked and seasoned quite nice. I would definitely order this again. read more

An avid music lover, I always wanted to visit Vinyl, as the bar was highly recommended, but it took longer than expected for me to get there. For one, I forgot the bar was located next to Pie.Zaa, meaning I could've been visited a long time ago on one of my pizza runs. Nevertheless, I have now made it and since their hours are so convenient, my visits will be more frequent. I also love that the bar is easily accessible from the light rail (Bland St.) so I never have to worry about finding parking. I visited on a Tuesday evening after work with a friend, which definitely impacted my experience. There wasn't a large crowd which allowed me to engage more with the staff and get a rundown on the bar. I met the Hospitality Coordinator, Alley, who gave me insight on the bar's artwork, Sarah, one of the bartenders, who was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, and patient, and the manager, Mark, who is passionate about the bar as well as the experience of his guests. The bar is vibrant and trendy as the décor fits the theme. The artwork, which I learned is by local artists and artists based in other cities, features musical artists ranging from hip-hop (i.e. Nipsey Hussle, The Notorious B.I.G, Tupac Shakur), to rock (Freddie Mercury of Queen, David Bowie, Janis Joplin), to reggae to soul (Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse). While all of this contributes to the vibe and experience, my favorite part of my visit was the food and drinks. I wanted to try their THC Cocktail, but when I saw there was a cocktail called Sex, Drugs, & Taylor Swift, I had to get that as I am a self-proclaimed Swiftie. I also tried Four Sticks and sampled La Bamba, which my friend got. What I liked about their drinks is that the cocktails are well-blended, not too strong or too fruity. The food was delicious, too, flavorful and crispy in all the areas where needed. My favorites, which was almost everything I tried, were the Steak Frites (steak was very tender and flavorful, make sure to dip it in the smoked ketchup!), the Garlic Parmesan Fries, the Hot Honey Chicken Sliders, the Fried Fish Sandwich (fish sandwiches are a personal fave so I'm biased because it's my preference to eat at any venue), and the Nachos Rancheros. The Latin Street Corn is good as well, but I must admit I expected a more traditional dish, and not a dip. When I return, which I hope will be soon, I hope to try the THC cocktail, the Hatch Queso Fries, and the Peri Peri Chicken Wings. read more

Vinyl was a chill vibe with good music and good food. I loved the indoor and outdoor seating options. Both had almost two different vibes going on. The menu had a great variety of small bites along with entrees. The drink menu was extensive. As a non drinker there was the option for a mocktail, which is always appreciated. The fries were delicious. The Mediterranean salad was ok, but nothing special. The hot honey sliders were the perfect combination between spicy and sweet. Lastly, the Brie bites were good, but wouldn't be something I'd order again. Service was the only negative. Our table of 6 was almost forgotten about. All in all the experience was a good one. read more

Vibe was good, drinks good but security touched me inappropriately. This place left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll never be back

The Vinyl staff always provides good customer service. Courteous and friendly. Usually when I come here I do not get food but the one time I tried it it was a hit. Nachos are a yes. Charcuterie a yes. The chips a tad salty for my taste. Still nice and crisp. I believe they recently switched to a new security company to handle the door and be present inside the venue. And I can tell a difference in a positive way. The security actually speaks to you and treats you like a human being and provides customer service as well. But also handles "situations" accordingly. The two that I come across often are Ryan and Joe I believe. Super cool and greet me whenever they see me. Good job vinyl. See yall soon! read more

So I went to vinyl on June 5 2026 and I got a tequila soda water. I took a sip to make sure I got the right drink and it tasted to me like there wasn't alcohol in it. I proceeded to tell the bartenders that there was no tequila in my drink and instead of them taking my drink (that I'm paying for) and doing somthing about it, the bartender looked at me and said " there is alcohol in it babe" and the I proceeded to explain the here that I couldn't taste it and she said " how long have you been drinking " I like vinyl but it I keep having these experiences and I'm tired of it. read more
