The best thing about Dandelion is Sidy. That is besides the beer and food. Sidy is my favorite bartender in all if Charlotte. I love going to a place and the staff is happy to see me, knows my name and is quick to keep my glass filled.
The food is also quite good but will admit, I usually only go for drinks once or twice a month. Tapas is served, which is good for sharing but can really drive up your bill if you get hungry.
Since I'm a happy hourer, I'm usually out the door before the Uptown madness starts. But from what I hear, it's a good place to meet the young and beautiful after dark.
