I really like Buho Bar. The service is fantastic every time, the drinks are really well made, and the ambiance is gorgeous and very inviting. That said, the music just doesn't match the energy of the space. It's upbeat, but not in a way that makes you want to sing along or actually dance. I was really hoping for more of a mixed genre where you can have those fun, in-your-own-little-corner dance moments, and it just fell a bit flat there. If they ever level up the music, this place would honestly be perfect. Charlotte really needs a spot that combines this kind of beautiful ambiance with music you can actually move to. Note to manager : find a DJ that can play all types of music. (80's, 90's, Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae, Pop, etc..) read more

How on Earth have I not been here yet??? My friend and I went to another bar/restaurant for her birthday and our drinks and meal were very meh so we wandered elsewhere. We decided to finally go to Buho and wish we would have just went there to begin with. The bar is beautiful and the service fantastic. The music and vibe were right and most importantly the cocktails were outstanding. They have a nice view and we really enjoyed ourselves. read more

Come for the view, stay for the vibes! I stumbled into this bar on a whim and ended up really enjoying myself. The liquor selection is quite nice, with some higher end pours available. The bar staff is friendly and helpful as you navigate the options. I was feeling peckish and ordered the chicken wings. Please know that though these were the tiniest wings I have ever seen, they were packed with flavor, well prepared, and satisfied my desire to nibble on something while drinking. Do not order if you are starving, they will absolutely tick you off. I however, would order them again because they were that tasty. The drinks are balanced and made with consistency. I look forward to trying more of the menu on another visit. With the ability to sit outside and take in the beautiful skyline, it's too hard to pass up! read more

Service was ok, but the food was not desirable. I did not enjoy an order of lobster sliders and fries. My old fashioned drink was mediocre. The only things to boast about this bar are the art, sky view, and ambience. The decor is beautiful and romantic. The DJ played upbeat music that was not ear piercing. I would return again for a classic meal and drink. read more

Let's start with the views.. Amazing!! Inside is beautiful as well, kind of gives me princess jasmine and Aladdin vibes. The braised lamb flat bread was interesting.. wouldn't say I'd order it again but it was not bad at all! Drinks are okay, a little heavy on the flavoring/juices. Overall.. definitely a cute little spot to go chill. read more

Búho Bar is a lovely rooftop bar located at the top floor of the Grand Bohemian Hotel. There is a hostess who seats you inside: there is the bar area or couches with tables on the side. I would say that the vibe of this bar was sexy but elegant... a lot of red everywhere! I did not have the opportunity to actually go outside and sit, but I do not think the view is super amazing. However, I enjoyed the vibes inside as there was good music playing. The server took some time to come around and get our second round of orders, but I understand that it can get busy. I ordered the La Puesta del Sol and split the Spanish Chorizo Flatbread and Boozy Ice Cream Sandwiches with my friends. The La Puesta del Sol tasted really good! Almost like fruit punch. The Spanish Chorizo Flatbread was AMAZING! It had aged cheddar, salsa verde, pico de gallo, and chorizo on it and it was a perfect combination. The chorizo was very yummy and the cheese with super cheesy. Definitely a must have at this bar. The Boozy Ice Cream Sandwiches were cool, but I would say a hit or miss. I thought that the Chocolate Crinkle Cookie with Coffee Brandy Ice Cream was alright... it was a thin cookie and a bit too heavy in terms of both the chocolate and coffee flavors. I do not like "funfetti" flavors so the Funfetti Cookie with Raspberry Vodka Ice Cream was okay to me, but my friends really liked it! They did mention that the ice cream did not taste like vodka at all, likely because it was a thinner sandwich. Meanwhile, I really liked the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie with White Chocolate Rum Ice Cream. It was the thickest of the ice cream sandwiches and the strongest tasting in terms of alcohol. However, the cookie itself was delicious to eat. Overall, I think that Búho Bar is a nice place to check out as their food and drinks are good! read more

I cannot testify to the food but the service and ambiance is amazing. Cocktails are creative and perfectly crafted. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. The menu offers a bourbon espresso martini but I only drink vodka and I can honestly say it was the best espresso martini I have ever had- including the ones I had in Europe. Well done! read more

Buho Bar at the Grand Bohemian is Merchant & Trade's older sister who started a tech company after leaving her legal career and drinks red wine on a white couch without worrying. This is sexy, swanky, but also easily accessible and in a prime location. The views are stunning, there is ample seating from bar, to tables, to cozy couches for a date night. It is definitely the place for small plates and drinks before hitting a bar, club, or more drinks and music focused lounge. Here you can eat a bit, try really great drinks that have incredible flavor profiles, and enjoy the luxurious decor. Like the Grand Bohemian does, the sultry, velvet, gold embellished, upscale look screams "if you get it , you get it" without too much eclectic furniture or patterns. We also had great service, sitting down almost immediately, plenty room at the bar (this was around 8/8:30 pm on a Saturday, and fast drinks and food orders. Our waiter was Montino (I think- I hate I forgot his name) but he was INCREDIBLE! He was knowledgeable, efficient, and knew the menu in and out! We got the lamb chops and fries to nibble on. The lamb was PERFECTLY cooked but the sauce paired with it, like a take on chimichurri, was missing a bit of flavor. The plain fries are amazing! Must thicker than I imagined and the aioli was just okay but likely would be better with the fries fully loaded. Definitely will be back!!! read more

Buho Bar in the Grand Bohemian hotel is a rooftop bar that is sexy, artsy with great drinks and tapas bites. Checks all my boxes! Great vibe. Dark. Good music. Very unique cocktails.

This is it: Grand Bo' Old Fashioned Elijah Craig 'Grand Bohemian, Queen City '23' Private Barrel Select Bourbon, Demerara, Black Walnut Bitters.

This is a beautiful rooftop bar located inside the grand bohemian hotel. When you walk into the hotel, check in with the hostess stand who will then get you an elevator to the top floor. Immediately when you get off the elevator, you're in awe! The decor is top notch and really makes it feel classy,and elegant! I went in December and there were nice touches for the holiday season as well. The restrooms even were decorated out beautifully! The staff was very friendly and attentive! They had a great memory and were very in tuned with surroundings and folks! There was some really playing a guitar inside of the bar. It was a nice touch having live music. The outside portion of the bar has heaters in December and nice comfortable seating all around. There is also a fire pit that is beautiful! There is a beautiful skyline view. 100% would recommend!!! read more

Cool rooftop bar! The view is not the best but still pretty darn good. Drinks were also top notch. Get the cocktail flight: you get three full-size cocktails for $28, that's hard to beat! They were pretty crowded when I went so the service was a little slow, but overall it's a nice spot to grab some drinks, small bites, and catch some views of uptown Charlotte.

This is the rooftop bar of the Grand Bohemian hotel in Uptown and from the minute you walk through the gilded doors, you feel like you've walked through a portal to some exotic, luxe, and artsy space that feels more Miami, LA, Barcelona than Charlotte. On a perfect Autumn day, the patio is exquisite to take in the fresh air (16 stories up, it just hits different) with partially obscured skyline views and some really eye-popping interior decor! Their cocktail menu is fun (and pricey) but you at least get what you pay for! They have a small bar food menu and we had the street corn twisty fries. It definitely could have used more corn and we ordered an aioli on the side because it was all UNDER the fries. That little oversight aside, it was a wonderful experience! Our server was exceptional, our glasses were never empty, and the minute we looked up from our conversation he was there to ask what we needed. Part of the fun is walking through the space and checking out all the awesome artwork and decor! It's like a free art exhibit included w/your drinks! You don't get a full sunset view from the patio, but the changing colorful hues on a clear day are still breathtaking! The owl theme of the Spanish-influenced namesake was also a fav touch. read more

You MUST ORDER the Machu Picchu cocktail. First you eat the flower (yes, chew and swallow) then take a tiny bite of the honey comb and sip the drink. Your mouth will begin to tingle and make the drink taste frothy. SO cool! I highlh recommend the Crab Fondidio! The Spanish Daydream is actually a dream. The atmosphere of the bar is out of this world. Honestly great for a date night, girls night or to take visitors. I would pass on the Shrimp Lettuce Wraps next time. They're small and assembly is required. The Smoked Paprika Chicken Flatbread had a sweet taste that I wasn't expecting but maybe some would like it. Overall, this is my favorite rooftop bar in Charlotte. read more

Beware the Buho Bar. Check your receipts. I was charged $500 for a few drinks. Either they are extremely overpriced, or the Bartender has no idea what she is doing. read more

A nice rooftop bar with cool vibes and delicious drinks and food! My husband and I stopped by in our last day in Charlotte to get a taste of the city skyline at night. He got a margarita and I got the Stargazer. While it was bit on the sweet side for me, I really enjoyed the Stargazer. And of course it looked so pretty. My husband also really liked his margarita, which left him with a really nice buzz too. We also got the street corn fries, which was tasty as well. While the food and drinks are on the pricier side, we had a good time! read more

We stopped by on a Saturday evening around 6pm and we were seated immediately with a large party. That's almost unheard of! We ordered drinks and shared tapas with 90s R&B soaring through the speakers in the background. We had a time! For my rooftop aficionados, this is the one. First come, first serve and the dress code is smart casual. We weren't originally coming here for the evening, but I'm glad it worked out. As for parking, skip the valet and walk. It took an extra 30-40minutes to get our cars at the end of the night being that this is a hotel. read more

I came here for the first time with my love (as often lol) and with my one of my homegirls and loved it both times. The impossible sliders are delicious and drinks are strong but tasty. I ordered the flight the first time I came and it's a pretty good deal for 3 cocktails. It is a lively, loud bar so if you're looking for a more intimate setting this is probably not the place for you. Very cute and chic decor. No reservations, first come first serve and located at the rooftop of Grand Bohemian. You'll have to pay $10 for valet parking and usually concierge/security will grant you access to the elevator that takes you to the bar. read more

Lovely Happy Hour experience for our team last night at Búho Bar just before we headed off to dinner. Our party of 10 enjoyed cocktails at the end of a long meeting day. Plenty of space - seating inside and outside. You need to check in at the lobby and then an attendant will get you to the elevator that leads to the rooftop bar. I enjoyed a delicious Margarita and my colleagues dipped on beers and wine, etc. This is definitely an ideal spot to get your sexy on if you are staying at The Grand Bohemian Charlotte. read more

Lovely rooftop bar at the Grand Bohemian Hotel. Our company had it reserved for the night and the staff had the drinks pumping fast, weather was perfect to hang out on the rooftop.

Great place for drinks and tapas. The rooftop view of Charlotte is amazing. I suggest you order the short ribs tapas and the flatbread pizza. The octopus ceviche was very unique and amazing. The speciality drinks are great especially the Oaxacan Mystery. This is a very elegant but layed back atmosphere. Try to get one of the couches for more comfort. Service was amazing. I will go to it every time I'm in Charlotte. read more

I went to Buho with a few friends on the 4th of July. Our experience was less than stellar as the manager on duty, Drew, tended to our table with the waiter Juan. Juan was personable and professional, providing menu recommendations and was overall pleasant. Our food and drinks we great. We did not receive the same service from Drew. She was unpleasant from the time she sat us down. Asking us to make table room for our food was simply out of line. As a guest, I've never had a waitress ask me to rearrange the items on the table, as their job is to provide service. Drew rolled her eyes in front of us when Juan asked her if we could have puree for our Prosecco bottle and said we could not. That is when i realized she didn't want to serve us or provide courtesy service as this was her own personal decision to deny us something she could have provided. When we inquired about the manager, we were shocked to learn she was the manager. For an establishment like this, i was appalled at her appearance. Her entire suit was extremely wrinkled. For my first visit, this was not a positive experience. I hope this review reaches the restaurant manager as Drew needs soft skills training amongst other coaching. read more

Although Charlotte has many rooftop options, Buho Bar truly sets itself apart with its beautifully decorated interior and creative drinks/menu. Like many of the other reviewers have mentioned, the dimly lit boho aesthetic and artwork make the experience that much more enjoyable. You cannot make reservations and seating is first come first serve. Though, the restaurant is spacious, with a large bar seating area and both indoor/outdoor seating. I came on a Saturday night and only had to wait in the lobby for 5-10 minutes before I was cleared to go up. The food and drinks were fun. I recommend the Cocktail Flight (the Spanish Daydream was my favorite) and Street Twisted Corn Fries! This place is definitely on my list to visit again. read more

Unfortunately I took more videos than pictures but when you're 16 floors above the city in such a beautiful location you'd fan girl like I did. I came here for an event so my review is going to be based on that experience & not one of a regular night here. When you arrive I highly suggest parking with the valet instead of looking for parking around the city, the guys that were on staff were extremely sweet & do handle your vehicle with care. Upon entering you're greeted by the front desk prior to making your pivot to the elevators where there are two people waiting to send you up to your floor. The decor here is magnificent & when you get on the elevator it's mirrored so you can take pictures from all angles should you desire. Once you step off, you are immediately greeted & escorted to the bar which is situated away from the elevators. Everything here is gorgeous although I could do away with some of the paintings (but that's my personal preference) The outdoor patio space is nicely decorated with an egg chair & plenty of seating overlooking the city. There was a VIP bar situated outside & a bar for the rest of the guests the inside bar that could've done better with maybe two more bartenders but the ones they did have on staff were amazing at what they did, it was busy so no complaints on the wait for a drink. Honestly this place is an entire vibe, the aesthetic, the views & the staff contributed to the good time. I definitely recommend visiting! read more

Búho Bar truly is a destination itself, with great sultry music, artfully crafted drinks that capture the essence of a vibrant culture and modern city, and awesome levels of urban elegance. Located in the beautiful and luxurious Grand Bohemian Hotel, Buho Bar is a must see!! The decor is bold but elegant, stylish and sophisticated rooftop bar with a dress code; I love it!! We were seated in one of the large booths across from the bar which was very impressive as well. Our attendant came right over to take care of our food and drink orders. We had just eaten so were not looking to have a full meal so we ordered calamari which was very good. Onto why we are really here ... the drinks!! They have a very interesting drink menu so I ordered my favorite Old Fashioned and our waitress recommended a super cool drink that is served with a honeycomb and a Buzz Button. Who even know about a buzz button but WOW, was that an experience!!! You bite the buzz button and it numbs your tongue, then you taste a bit of the honeycomb then follow with the drink. OMG is was like a party in your mouth; definitely worth trying for sure. About these drinks .... the prices are steep! $20 for an Old Fashioned??? Most of their drinks ranged from $14 to $20. The ambiance alone would bring me back, food was good and drinks were great. This was a nice stop and I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Having brunch at Mico at the Grand Bohemian, we discovered the rooftop bar, Bohu Bar was finally open on a Sunday! Not a particularly warm day for the rooftop, but they have fire pits plus a indoor area with a bar too. Loved the decor, bold colors, great seating big spaces, we got seated in an area where there was no one so felt like our own private room. Beautiful chandeliers, great art work, great music, just a nice vibe. Inside was great. Our servers was great too, all staff had on masks, and you have to wear one too til your seated. Having just had brunch, we just wanted drinks. Got a nice bottle of Rosè, nice and dry and well chilled. Later we ordered a cheese board and a smoked paprika chicken flatbread. The board was good, basic cheeses, and a couple of meats and bread crisps and fig preserve. Loved the board it came on. The flatbread was really good , big chucks of chicken, nice paprika in sauce, and drizzle chili oil. Nice crispy crust too. Good food to go with the wine. When space opened up outside we had the server move us outside to the fire pit. Nice area huge pits, and nice couches, and hanging swing pods like things ! Really nice casual, yet nice space. Will be great in summertime. Since we were celebrating a birthday, our sever gave us a dessert in the house. Really good flourless chocolate cake. With ice cream. Was delicious, nice and rich . Perfect end to a great day at the Grand Bohemian. Will be planning a trip back soon! read more
