    The bar right inside Bar 158.

    Nice, moody lounge-meets-cocktail bar on a charming, spiffed up section of Mooresville's Main Street. Dark, cozy lighting, long L-shaped bar, interesting house cocktail list and what looks to be an elevated snacks menu. As in, you won't find wings, fries or chicken strips..though there are pork nachos. Our wine and beer was fine, but our nachos - not so much. Lots of cream, little cheese, piles of nachos and super salty. Bartender was nice and attentive and there was live music on the Thursday night we went, so it's a pleasant place to spend an hour or two. Pay no attention to the "dive bar" sign outside - maybe it's ironic, or just left over from the last place, but this is in no way a gritty, back-alley joint. Good vibes and drinks, not much of a food menu but open late on a street where everything else is closed by 9pm. A very solid, if not really exceptional bar.

    Get ready, I got the double review comin at ya. I've been here on a night where they had a drag show and everything was amazing!! It was a great time and the service was pretty good considering there were drag queens dancing around everywhere. The drinks are good and the dessert was yummy. For the Christmas season, this place turns into Miracle on Main. It's completely decked out with ornaments hanging everywhere and all the walls wrapped in wrapping paper! I loved all the themed drinks and cups! The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the size. I wish they were able yo expand, because they could definitely use it. It's always super packed in there and that can get overwhelming pretty fast. Overall though, this is a great place to hang out and go to for their special events! Make sure you have a reservation though.

    The hidden gem bar of my dreams, but make it local. Seasonal craft cocktails, but not pretentious. Creative menu, but not so weird you can't get a house made pimento and bacon smash burger with your draft IPA. I love this place. Live music and events - follow them on social media for the calendar. In downtown Mooresville, this is a prime date night spot! Don't sleep on it. Bartenders are chill and service is amazing. Pro tip: ask for the Spirits menu and treat yo'self.

    This is their cheese  charcuterie appetizer!

    Let me tell you about this place as my first experience here. I've heard from word of mouth this place is good. If you haven't been it's definitely worth your time. The ambiance from walking in to sitting down. The service, drinks and food amazing! The hostess and server were friendly and attentive. Plus they had a live band. We're definitely coming back and recommend.

    Ginger bread old fashioned and the nice shot.

    A friend and I recently visited 158 on main. We both live in Charlotte and figured it would be nice to get out of the city for the night. It was a haul to get out to the spot but completely worth it. Everyone was very nice and respectful. We got some drinks at the bar and I can confirm I have a new standard for my old fashioneds. Our bartender was Katie and I have to say I was very impressed. Despite the fact that it was wall to wall customers she was timely with her service and just over all was great every step of the way. We also got food that was amazing but it was so good I may have forgotten to take pictures so we will save that for next time.

    A bit pricey but an enjoyable experience. Came in for drinks and got a few appetizers/salad to share. Really enjoyed the meatballs and drinks. Did not know it was a members only establishment. Live music with tickets was that evening so we could only stay for a little while. Band was warming up when we were eating. I'll return if in Mooresville.

    I got to experience this amazing place during one of their Chef Pop Up Series. Our chef was Tim Groody with the Good Kitchen and formerly of Fork! in Cornelius. Our experience was phenomenal. Every course was paired with a different wine that complimented it perfectly. The wait staff was friendly and everyone was so knowledgeable and worked together well. The food for our event was out of this world delicious. The first course was an amuse-bouche that was made out of leftover bits from the meal we were about to be served, as nothing goes to waste in the kitchen. These "leftovers" were certainly more delicious than the leftovers that come out of my own kitchen! What followed was a trip through Tim Groody's voluptuous imagination using small plates as a vehicle. The surprise dishes of the night for me were the rabbit and the compressed spiced melon. I didn't think I liked rabbit or cantaloupe, but they were my favorite dishes of the night. Anyone that can not only make those not only edible but outright delicious for me is a magician. This was one of the best nights I've had in a long time and I can't wait to get back!

    I love this cocktail bar! My husband and I enjoyed coming here for a date night - the cocktails were excellent and we really enjoyed listening to the live music! I would highly recommend the two cocktails we had which were the Spring Fling and Bramble On!

    This place is AWESOME! Meredith is amazing!There is no better place in Mooresville to have a glass…read moreof wine or a top shelf cocktail! The atmosphere is old Mooresville with a vintage flare! Spend some time talking to Meredith with her incredibly bubbly personality and you will never want to leave. This place is a true diamond in the rough.

    As the lighting designer and stage tech for the band that performed here, this was one of the most…read moredifficult live production environments I've worked in. From load-in onward, management seemed far more concerned with monitoring and restricting the performance than supporting live entertainment. Before the show even began, there were already complaints about potential volume levels simply from seeing the sound equipment and production setup. The band and crew made extensive efforts to accommodate every concern throughout the night. The drummer used hot rods instead of regular sticks, the FOH engineer kept the band under very controlled volume levels, and even the lighting setup was intentionally kept minimal and non-intrusive out of respect for the venue. Despite all of those accommodations, management continued hovering throughout the evening and interrupting over very minor issues. It created an unnecessarily tense atmosphere for both the performers and production crew. Live music requires a certain level of comfort and trust between the venue and the people running the show, and unfortunately that never existed here. In addition, one of the bartenders consistently came across as dismissive and talked down to members of the band and crew during the night. At one point, they stated that this was "a bar that happens to have music," and proceeded to lecture me on how sound works and how customers would not be able to hear each other if the band was too loud. This was particularly frustrating considering the extensive efforts already being made by both the band and audio crew to keep levels controlled and respectful for the room. Everyone involved on the production side remained professional and cooperative throughout the evening, but the overall attitude toward live music and production made the experience unnecessarily stressful. As someone who works behind the scenes to help create a professional live experience, it was disappointing to feel like every aspect of the production was treated as a problem rather than part of the entertainment guests came to see. If a venue only wants extremely quiet background music with little to no production presence, they would likely be better suited booking solo acoustic performers instead of full live bands with sound and lighting support.
