Justin is great, and showed us a great time! Best espresso martini in Charlotte!! Great service and recommendations!

Vinyl serves up tasty cocktails and bites! I really like the vibe inside and the music is fun. There's seating at the bar, throughout the place, and on the patio outside. They opened 8 months ago and I feel like it's the safe haven for people my age in a sea of post-college grads in the South End area. You won't find people dancing on table tops or anything like that -- it's a more mature crowd, which I really like. Come here for good cocktails handhelds and shareables like Hot Honey Chicken Sliders and French Dip Tacos fun music heated outdoor patio read more

VINYL - LIAR,LIAR It was very complex especially with the hint of cinnamon on top. I really enjoyed it - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Came here with us a couple of friends who are also foodies so you'll notice the photos are much better. This place definitely checks the vibe check. It has neon signs and a cool changing flip sign that shows you what music is playing. I got a mocktail based off of one of the cocktails that they have and it was super delicious. We tried a ton of different foods One of my favorites was the Scottish eggs and another favorite was the vinyl burger. I actually think it's one of my favorite burgers in Charlotte which is pretty shocking cuz I have a few places that I just can't get enough of. Only downside to this place which I didn't take any stars off for this is parking is never easy in South end. read more

What a cool new (newish) place in the neighborhood! I was sad to see the Brass Tap go as I had many a great football Sundays there but I was eager to see what they would do with the place. The name vinyl suits the place in multiple ways. Not only is the place adorned with old records but they play awesome music! A wide variety of musical styles so the vibe sort of changes as the night progresses. From the cocktails to the decor to the music everything about this place has the feel of a true big city bar and lounge. I only wish they were here when I lived right down the street! read more

My wife was ranting about their burger. And I had to give it a try. The bun was fresh meat was flavored perfection Toppings and their house sauce. I would suggest getting aside of sauce for more dipping. The fries were delicious, crispy and hot. I had a beer, ice cube pimp IPA or something like that. Great atmosphere Dj Grant was spinning tunes, dope vibe. Being a dj I was curious of the record in the crates. The server were prompt and pleasant. read more

VINYL - Angels With Filthy Spuls - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was headed to another place for a meal and the name and the music I heard made me curious about this gem. I checked the Yelp reviews before walking in and saw great reviews. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the rock decor. The sign with the flip letters that shows the song and wrist was very unique. The bartender helped me choose a beer then I ordered a scotch egg as an app. It was served on a hunk of wood with the meat infused crust around the egg with cheese, bacon and jalapeño on top. It was very tasty and was my first time trying a scotch egg. The bartender raved about the Vinyl burger so I ordered one with Parmesan truffle fries. I enjoy a good burger but I usually find something else on the menu that's less traditional. Her recommendation alone sold me to get the burger. The burger was very tasty on a soft bun with a special sauce. The bartender was right about the burger. Great place, great service, great burger and awesome music. I will be back for sure! Thanks! read more

VINYL - Bar Area - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Stopped into Vinyl on Monday before going to a concert and really loved the atmosphere. The decor and wall art is beautiful. There was no wait and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bar staff was kind and attentive. I ordered the ISLAND IN THE SUN which is a cocktail made with Appleton Jamaican Rum, Allspice Dram, Lime, And Angostura Bitters. This cocktail was great and mixed perfectly. Stopped in for a quick bite so I didn't get a chance to try a lot of the menu. However, I had the Hot Honey Chicken Sliders which comes 2 per order and a side of fries. Wait wasn't long for food and everything taste great. The hot honey sauce wasn't to spicy or sweet. read more

Vinyl's cocktails are absolutely amazing and they were even able to make a delicious mocktail that rivaled some alcoholic drinks I've had. The vibe is outstanding, I love the intimate feel while also being very open and inviting! Dislikes: The fries weren't crunchy, but the flavor was good. I would still get something else on the menu though, as the other options are much better! Overall: 4.3 read more

So I'm sure they will get 5 stars next time I visit. If you have read any of my posts before...you know the drill. John the bartender was great! Check out my IG Sherristripsandsips for video content. We started with the Maria Tambien drink and a Caipirinha. Loved the Maria Tambien the different flavors came together very well. It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't too sour. We had the scotch bonnet eggs (me least favorite), garlic Parmesan fries, and the Vinyl burger. The burger was really good. Classic smash burger with Biggie sauce. Would definitely order again. The fries are a huge portion. Definitely enough to share. The place has a cool vibe and the music was great. Has a nice outdoor seating area as well. I will definitely return! read more

A Charlotte gold mine. Jayme the bartender is great. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and the three of us got seated right away. It's a neat space, with a huge garage door that opens up to the street and an eclectic vibe with a large bar. The selling point of Vinyl is probably its drinks which were so good and pretty looking. I recommend the big poppa if you're looking for a drink that is not too sweet and very refreshing. The bartender/waiters were also very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with our drink orders based on what we liked! The food was also great. I got a summer salad with falafel added on and it was good. Nothing special though as it was just a salad. Their garlic Parmesan fries were absolutely delicious though - highly recommend. Overall a good spot to check out if you are looking for something new in south end! read more

My friends and I had a disturbing experience here. Staff refused to serve them until I left, without any explanation. I did nothing wrong, yet I was singled out and treated like a problem. It felt discriminatory, and we were all left feeling unwelcome and confused. I'm speaking up because no one--regardless of who they are--should be treated this way. I hope this business takes real steps to prevent this kind of behavior in the future. read more

We stopped in for drinks and had an amazing time! The bartender was super friendly and made us drinks according to our taste. Nice atmosphere and good for sports fans. I can't wait to visit again read more

If I owned a restaurant this would be the epitome of what it would consist of. This place kinda has a retro chic feel to me, with albums everywhere. They also had a nice bar area and also another bar area facing toward the town, so us people watchers don't miss a thing. The service was friendly and quick, I will return when in Charlotte. read more

VINYL - Crowd and bar. - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Cool spot for a 3rd or 4th date. It's dark and it's loud, which is the best place to go for that 4th date. Food menu is pretty solid. I've had the charcuterie and the cheese board as well as the burger. I'd order all 3 again. Good cocktail menu and a standard selection of beer and spirits will welcome you here. Seating is usually hosted but it's a free for all during late night. There's a lot across the street for the non-locals, but do keep note that they share space with a brewery so it could be a long walk before you make it through the front doors. Be prepared... read more

Was my first time going with friends to this place. I was unaware this space turns into a club scene at night. I've only ever seen it in the day semi-night time. Music was okay. A lot of tunes from 2007-2010 not sure if it was a theme the day I went. Super packed, they have a line. Line moves fairly quickly. Drinks were decent, no complaints. It's not a fancy cocktail place so no major expectations in that department. They do have seating along the walls but I was too busy dancing read more

Liar liar cocktail was very yummy! Love the type of ice and the presentation of the drink. Cool place to have a drink and some food with friends. It has an outdoor patio spot that is pup friendly which is always a plus for us Waitress was very efficient and our drinks came out really quickly even with a big group. read more

Great service, friendly vibes, best chicken sliders and I had the Oya Coma Va drink which was amazing. Definitely worth going.

While we have loved going to Vinyl to eat or go out, the bar has a serious theft problem. In the past month, I have known three people who have gotten their phones and wallets stolen. Security inside needs to be improved. read more

I recently visited Vinyl for the first time after hearing great things about it. From my personal experience I can say that vinyl is the perfect spot to hang out with friends or even a date. I would recommend arriving rather early in the evening if you would rather have a more relaxed atmosphere and grab a table if you plan to eat, because it does get pretty busy. The bartenders were very kind and had a great energy while attending us. Overall I loved the atmosphere and vibes, the dj was playing a variety of music which was all amazing. The cocktails as well were very flavorful and decently priced. I had the opportunity to try the Liar, Lair and I can definitely recommend if you like a more fruity drink! I will be back for more of those great vibes! read more

Vinyl was an all around great experience. I sat at the bar and ordered a strawberry mojito. It wasn't on the menu but the bartender perfected it! I also ordered a burger and the queso fries.

VINYL - Liar Liar and Southern Range Ice Cubes A Pimp - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place can be nice vibe at the beginning at the night. I have only had the fries; which are pretty good! Unfortunately I do not like how some drinks on the menu are pre-made and there just full of sugar. Also i understand inflation but as a bar why is a regular margarita just about $18-$20 dollars. Super over priced. Feel like this place is losing its authenticity and becoming a regular over packed south end spot. I guess vinyl is the new spot now in south-end so on Friday and Saturday its super slammed packed ; just about shoulder to shoulder so be aware and only two bathrooms. read more

Vinyl is a cool happening place in south end! I love the aesthetics of this location, and the drink menu is great as well. They just added brunch to their menu and service line, definitely great time. read more

Enjoyed an awesome relaxed dinner here! The atmosphere and decor are a vibe, the cocktails are very good and the music was a great 2000's and 90's vibe mix across multiple genres. We enjoyed the burger here and they make a fabulous old fashion! Can't wait to visit here again! read more

I love you Vinyl. Everything here is good. The cocktails are great and the food is even better. It was very busy the past couple of times I have been but that's okay! I wish there was reservation option for some days. Ambiance is great. 10/10 read more

I was surprised to find such good food in a bar. Food was really good. Get the Cuban sandwich. Prices are kind of high but with the location I expected that. It gets pretty crowded. I went on A Friday about 630 and it was packed. They have outside dinning waiter was cool, she could of been more attentive, as she never came back after I got my food. I saw her kind of talking with other staff. But she was nice. read more
