| - I don't think that I can really take this place seriously. I was in town for my friend's birthday and we (myself and two other guys) decided to check out some different bars in Charlotte, to get away from Uptown. He had heard good things about this place and it's concept and it appeared to be "for the culture." It kind of reminds me of one clubhouses that each of the university city student apartment complexes had back when I was in school here. Upon entering it seemed as though the group of people that were there were really enjoying themselves, some sorority and fraternity types sipping and playing a couple of the games. Seemed fine enough. We went to the bar where I was going to buy the first round. The bar is rather small and there are no taps even though I feel like the website says that there are. Maybe they were down that day? Who knows?! I didn't see signs of them. The beer selection that was there wasn't very appeasing to me, Bud Light, Miller, meh...give me a whiskey and ginger ale. The bartender hands me little kid's plastic water cup with ice a half shot of whiskey and ginger ale. Is this what people come for?! I'm here now so why not make the most of it. I order just a straight Hennessy neat and it's another half shot in the bottom of said kid's plastic water cup. I ask her to double it up...smh...the sadness continues. Long story short I, as well as my party were over it. Needless to say, we headed towards Uptown. The space is large, and interestingly arranged. Seating at the bar is for the regulars and bartender's friends. The food didn't look appetizing enough although we were kind of hungry. According to some other reviews, we dodged a bullet on that. To sum up this place, it's as someone else said, this place has a lot of unrealized potential.
