Fantastic concept but they missed the mark on a few things. They are not visible from the street, walked past it twice before realizing where it was. The drinks are way too overpriced but creative and flavourful. The gender neutral washrooms are clean. The cozy atmosphere is warm and inviting and designed to have friends gather and have conversations over cocktails. They seem to be confused about their identity or the DJ forgets that he is not in a nightclub because the music volume needs to be kept conducive to the environment they are trying to create. I didn't see a dance floor or a laser show so it doesn't warrant a music volume that keeps you on the dance floor instead of catching up with your friends over cocktails.
Well the place is amazing. However they think they are located at Santa Monica or Monaco … drinks are so expensive (19$ for a scotch whisky) and the cocktail are so small (18$ minimum)The waitress is so slow and not professional at all.Same thing, the DJ wasn’t respectful neither professional.I would prefer go somewhere else more fun and which respect better their costumers.
Charolette used to be our girls night go to. Went very recently and found the drinks to be way over priced, with few good cocktail options, even wine was way over priced. We got the charcuterie board, and it was extremely small for $28, same with the cheese board, extremely small and $24. Don't think ill go back, even though the atmosphere and waiter were awesome.
Cute place with great seating areas for large group of people. If it isn't a busy night, two people can take a couch area instead of the 2 seated areas. The spicy cocktail with the ghost pepper was fantastic. Bartender was very nice.
Went there to end the night with a few drinks. The music and the ambiance was awesome. The cocktail list ranged from 13$ to 21$ roughly which is what you expect in those trendy spot.
Charlotte is a fantastic place for snacks and drinks! Staff is super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I'm gluten free and our server made sure I was taken care of. They have wonderful cocktails and a super tasty wine menu. Try the Beaujolais Blanc. It is amazing!
Drinks are great, decor is great, atmosphere is pretty good but the music was all over the place. Don’t play music at club volumes if you’re a lounge where everyone is sitting. Also the song selection was all over the place, dude was going from Drake to weird tribal music for an hour. This is a cocktail lounge bro not an Aphex Twin concert, someone gotta talk to that guy.
Recently came to Charlotte a couple times after not having been since 2018~ish. The lounge itself is still really nice / mid-century modern vibes, but otherwise the experience isn’t what it used to be. Cocktail list isn’t as good as before, and snacks options are pretty underwhelming (there used to be the option of ordering some Pure Kitchen items from downstairs, like the cauliflower wings or dumplings). Service is also so/so. It’s too bad because we don’t really have a nice lounge space on Elgin.
Drinks are on the pricy side, but the cocktails are fantastic and the bartender serving us was clearly passionate about his craft.My favourite drink of the evening was the Foundation.
Very comfortable place to relax and enjoy a drink with friends. A bit loud but the ambiance makes you forget the noise.
