| - I've been to the new Uptown location three times now, as I work nearby.
The first was on opening day, I swung by for a HopSlam with coworkers. I used to frequent Fox quite often, considering the location... So I immediately turned left as I walked in the door. Just kidding!The bar is now to the right. I've only been on the first floor, where there is ample seating. The lighting is always extremely bright- day & night. Too bright for my liking. And the TVs... Holy cow. For someone who doesn't even own a TV, this is overwhelming. Definitely a great spot to catch numerous games, if you don't get vertigo first.
I do enjoy there extensive beer list, which is on a easy to use IPad. Drink specials are pretty good... Most beers are $3.50 on M & W, but I believe most are between 11-14 oz pours. 1/2 price bottles of wine on Tuesday. There Hop Man Beer Club is also very easy to sign up for. I try to drink local as much as possible, and there is a decent rotation of Charlotte breweries.
I haven't had a full meal yet, more of apps/ bar food. The only thing that has stuck out so far is the Sweet & Bold wing sauce. Absolutely delicious! I could honestly eat this on anything.
Staff is pleasant. You can tell that many are still feeling things out, which is expected.
Atmosphere could use some work, but overall pretty decent. Definitely more of a drinking spot than a place to enjoy food.
