This was my first visit to The Broken Spoke. It is a distillery, but it feels like a speakeasy with the comfy seating and intimate living room feel. I had "The Other Irish Coffee" which became a favorite right away. They also have canned beer and beers on tap so make sure to ask for a beer list if cocktails aren't your thing. However, the real reason you go to The Broken Spoke is to drink great cocktails and catch up with friends while avoiding the loud "I feel like I'm yelling" atmosphere of any bar in Charlotte and most breweries.
