| - Got an adventurous group with nothing to do on a Wednesday night? Take them to Therapy! No, not the psychiatrist you pay $150 per session for to lament about why your mother doesn't love you. I'm talking about the martini bar called Therapy in Uptown Charlotte. All martinis are 1/2 price on Wednesday nights.
We've had a lot of fun going with a group of about 10 people. You've gotta get there early after work, though, because the bar is small and they have limited seating both inside and out. And for a large group, if you're not early, some of you may have to go half@$$ on a chair.
We've sat outside in the blistering summer heat on a Wednesday evening and had a fantastic experience. The martini menu is extensive and there are most likely tens of combinations you've never even heard of. This is your chance to break out from your traditional Cosmo or Sour Apple Martini and try something new!
Each round, all ten of us would order a different martini on the menu and then pass it around the table. I think we may have gotten through about half of the martinis on the menu. Some were awesome, some were good, and some were not-so-good. But at least if they were not-so-good, you only had to take a sip of it; you weren't stuck with it for the rest of the night. It provided some great social interaction and commentary, and hopefully the alcohol killed any coldsores anyone might have had.
My only suggestions to Therapy would be to make a more attractive outdoor seating area, turn down the music (it IS a small place, so are speakers really necessary?), and have additional staff on busier nights.
