| - The Attic is really crowded pretty much ever time I've been there, but there's an escape: it connects to Madison's, where there's normally a lot more room. On the second floor here, there's a great balcony overlooking Tryon St, which becomes a great place to drink and people-watch any time of the day or night.
The Attic isn't spectacular or particularly interesting in any way, but it's a solid bar, if unexciting. Usually filled with banker/business types after work, it's still a nice place to grab a happy hour cocktail, provided it isn't too insanely crowded on that particular day. It reminds me a lot of a bar you'd find downtown in NYC--plain, simple, but getting the job done with beer selection and stiff drinks.
On weekend nights, it gets pretty rowdy, but it's still a good time. Worth checking out if you're a single, too.
