| - Records, extra virgen olive oil, and real dreidel like spinning tops for the kids. All of these things can be purchased at TipTop. After spending lots of time in more jaded regions of Charlotte, it's like seeing the city through a sparkled more optimistic lense.
The cold brew coffee is some of the best in the city. I usually find cold brew pretentious and overpriced yet TipTop has given me a reason to order it. They offer a Moroccan style syrup and several a near milk options instead of granulated sugar.
Happy employees make for happy customers. The laid back atmosphere allows for extended conversation amongst the staff and patrons. Friendly, professional and attentive, the wait staff is clearly dedicated to the success of the enterprise. Along with the hardwood bar, family and dog friendly enviornment, they have vegan donuts from Pepperbox.
Did I mention records? Along with specialty craft brew and a wide array of hard to find emporium style goods, TipTop sells vynal.
The records and tapes are arranged against the walls amidst a canopy of christmas lights offsetting the grandure of a massive Persian rug that covers the tile.
The beer ranges from good to really good and I'm not much of a beer fan.
The outdoor patio located in the back is one of the hidden jewels of Charlotte. Complete with gas grill and fire pit, the wood fenced, gravel space feels like a neighborhood cookout than a bar. The real magic however comes from the gatekeepers, the bartenders and waitstaff that make the organization unique.
