I noticed they also have a stage for live performances, which is a nice touch--I'd love to come back when there's a show. I ordered a Tequila Sunrise, Long Island Iced Tea, and my usual go-to, Liquid Marijuana--all were really good. Each of those drinks was around $14, although I'm not sure if the price ever changes depending on the night or bartender. My partner had what I believe was called Smoke on the Water #3, which tasted great and was somewhere between $8-$11. However, his drink didn't come with the smoky presentation (he had ordered it twice) we later saw a couple get closer to closing time--maybe it was just too busy earlier for them to do that little extra. One thing I really appreciated: no strict dress code. I was wearing a tank top t-shirt and still felt welcome, unlike the bar next door (possibly a dive bar) that turned me away. It's refreshing to find a place with great vibes, strong drinks, and an inclusive atmosphere. They also serve food, though I didn't get to try any this time. I forgot to snap a picture of the menu--sorry! But I'll definitely be back again. This place has good energy, solid drinks, and a chill environment worth returning to.

IMHO: vieux carre is a little heavy to start and hard to follow with discretion. thinking maybe I should have had a gimlet because life is better with something besides an uber chaser... choose wisely and thanks jacey (?) for the assist w/ hydrating

I could not find a website for this bar; however, they do have a Facebook page. Unfortunately, it doesn't really give useful information about the business. So we drove up to Mooresville not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised !! I was definitely impressed the bartenders/wait staff. Almost as soon as we got seated, someone came by to get our drink orders. Round one drinks were delivered to our table quickly. And the great service never stopped--even when the place got busy!! Someone was constantly coming by to clear the table and ask if we needed anything else. We didn't order food, but from what I could see they have a very limited food menu. Someone previously posted a review that said they are a cash only bar. That is definitely not true now-- they do take credit cards. This bar has plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. The restrooms were clean. The band was fun. The staff amazing! We would definitely go back!

The food took quite a long time to come out, but I'm confident it was just first-weekend growing pains because once it arrived, it was absolutely incredible.

On the positive side, the dessert selection was wonderful, and the location itself is stunning. The style, the atmosphere, and the surroundings all felt beautiful and well thought out. Despite the delays, we genuinely enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back once things have settled in.

I ordered the pork belly bao buns, but they missed the mark for me. Coming from NY, I'm used to bao buns being marshmallow-soft and pillowy, but these were a hard, and the pork belly itself was quite tough. Our wonderful waitress noticed I only took one bite and brought the manager over. He explained that the cut is naturally mostly fat, which I understand, but the texture just wasn't quite right because it should be tender not tough. I declined a replacement dish, and he kindly credited it on our bill, though the interaction felt a little awkward. My husband's salmon unfortunately had a very heavy mustard flavor. The spinach farrotto underneath was quite salty. Since there isn't a kids menu which is fine, my daughter ordered the burger plain, but it wasn't really a hit for her. My coconut guava Paloma was okay definitely the best part of my meal though it tasted a little artificial. The ambiance has a lot of potential, and they had live music playing. However, it was a bit too loud for the space, forcing guests to raise their voices just to speak to each other. We also noticed our table hadn't been wiped down thoroughly before we sat down. The absolute silver lining of our evening was our waitress. She was incredibly sweet, highly attentive, and took great care of us. She is truly the reason I am giving 3 stars.She mentioned that they offer a completely different menu for brunch. Because the setting is so pretty and the service was so good, we might give them another chance for brunch down the road, but we likely wouldn't return for dinner. Proof that lighting and plating can hide a lot! Captured these beautiful views last night, even though the dinner itself was a bit of a letdown.
