Full disclosure: I never made it in the front door. I, in fact, was turned away from the front door by the "bouncer" or doorman or whoever he was. This individual walked towards me and suggested that I "run home to change into pants and come back" as their dress code would not allow my shorts to enter. It is really a shame. I was excited to check this place out. I paid for the $10 membership online and had planned to meetup with 5 other of my associates/coworkers there for a good time. It was actually fun because we struggled a bit to find the the door to get in the place ... just as a speak-easy should be! But folks ... let's face it! This is CHARLOTTE! We live in the south. We dress casual! Especially during the summer. The funny thing to me is I would have been perfectly acceptably dressed for Kiawah Island where we are truly "private members." My outfit was a polo shirt tucked and belted navy shorts. So, I'm going to call it right here. If they don't change their overly obnoxious list of rules on their website, they simply will not last in Charlotte. That is my prediction. Butter tried this ... dress code ... and well, they didn't exactly hang around long. As a new business, they lost out on 6 customers last night. Our tab at Packhouse was well over $200 ... and we were graciously invited in and ended up enjoying the cool weather out on their front porch.
