This place is kind of weird. I appreciate that it's old and has some character, as so much of Charlotte does not, but it's just not doing it right.
I came here recently for a comedy show. It was approximately 130 degrees inside the basement where the show was to be held. It was a cold night outside. I can't imagine what a July show would have felt like.
The entertainers seemed totally thrown off (understandably) by how low the ceiling is in here. I felt like it was really distracting to them throughout the night.
Another distraction stems from the fact that the tables in the reserved seating area are packed so tightly together that the wait staff can barely meander through. I spent half of the night watching them struggle to squeeze in front of and behind the tables.
Biggest drawback? NO LOCAL BEER. Are you kidding me? I legitimately thought our waiter was joking when he started listing off Bud Light and Coors. This is Charlotte, land of a million delicious craft beers. Morehead Tavern seriously can't get on the bandwagon and offer even one? Hugely disappointing.
I'll come back if I have to.
