| - Disclaimer: I am not in any way familiar with the Charlotte bar scene, but this seemed like a pretty cool place upon first impression. I think what made it even better was that my hip(-ster), musical, "cool" (in the truest sense of the word) cousin in Charlotte suggested we meet there for a drink while I was in town for the night. The fact that this place has his approval is not to be taken lightly.
Okay, so here's the deal. Our party of four sat at a table and just ordered drinks. I don't think that is a particularly big deal, but our waitress made multiple references to this fact, and expressed her displeasure. I mean, sure, a bigger total means a bigger tip, but ordering multiple drinks is just as good in my book. I didn't appreciate how her parting words were "Y'all promise to order some food next time, right?" -- not the way to win customers' hearts.
I liked that this was off the beaten path (or at least it felt that way, we had enough trouble finding it). I think that adds to its appeal. So, all in all, I think it's a "cool" place to grab a drink but nothing I would necessarily seek out.
