Some friends and I headed out recently for a night in uptown (something we don't normally do). We were looking for an upscale place for some cocktails and music... The type of place where we could dress up and be around others who were dressed accordingly. A friend suggested Kandy Bar, so that's were we went.
Bottom line is Kandy Bar fit the bill... It was exactly what we were looking for! I am usually not one for the club scene, but this one changed my feeling on the subject.
In response to those who have offered negative reviews about the door practice... Charlotte has very specific laws regarding establishments that serve alcohol and the ratio of those sales to food sales. Kandy Bar's ratio is heavily skewed towards alcohol, hence the "membership." On the subject of dress code... This is an upscale club. Look the part and you get in. Don't look the part and you don't. If you think sneakers and jerseys are upscale, you have come to the wrong club... It is that simple.
