The drinks are certainly unique ... but almost to a fault. While I appreciate the creativity and diversity on the menu at Dahlia's , I think incorporating some more traditional options could really elevate this place and make it even more appealing. read more

Dahlia's - Wine Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

**WARNING / CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE** I was visiting Charlotte and decided to stop by Dahlia's for my last night in town. What I expected to be an enjoyable evening quickly turned into an extremely uncomfortable experience. I was sitting at the bar when one of the bartenders, a tall older gentleman with wild curly hair, came from behind the bar and began collecting my chair. I was confused about what was happening, so I asked him to explain. Instead of providing an explanation, he told me it didn't matter and that I needed to get up. I was already gathering my belongings and preparing to leave. However, while I was still seated, he physically began pulling my chair away from the bar. This was alarming because I was concerned that I could fall. I specifically asked him to stop moving the chair so I could safely stand up. As I was leaving, he came from behind the bar again and stood near the elevator. As I approached the elevators, I could hear him ranting to the security guard about what had happened. The entire interaction was rude, unnecessary, and completely unprofessional. If there was an issue with seating, it could have been handled with basic communication and professionalism. There was absolutely no reason to physically move my chair while I was still sitting in it, especially after I was already complying and preparing to leave. What concerned me most was how comfortable he seemed behaving this way toward a customer. It made me question whether this is an isolated incident or a pattern of behavior. I'm sharing this so other customers are aware of my experience. **No customer should have their chair physically pulled away from them while they are still seated.** read more

1 star. I honestly wish I could give 0. I've been to Dahlia's multiple times and never had a problem until this night. I had JUST paid $32 for two drinks when Rolando, one of the security guards/bartenders, kicked me out. The manager (Desiree or Des) told me and the officer, that Rolando whispered inside of her ear to tell her that I was talking about her. She then made my two drinks and proceeded to tell Rolando to "Handle It". The officer has that evidence. He knocked my hat off my head and wouldn't let me get it back. Practically dragged me to the door but I went without any resistance. Then he snatched the drinks out of my hands and slammed them in the trash. Then him and another security guard started forcing me toward the elevator. When I pulled my phone out to record what was happening, he snatched my phone out of my hand and turned it off. Once we got in the elevator, I was jumped by Rolando and the other security guard and then thrown outside onto the ground. I had to walk 3 hours, on i77, home because I took a Lyft there. My Ray-Ban glasses were broken during all of this too. I've gone back to Dahlia's MULTIPLE times with the police trying to get my phone back. The last location my phone showed was at Dahlia's before Rolando took it and turned it off. The officer even asked for the manager's number, and the bartender gave him the restaurant's regular number instead. When I went back, I checked for security cameras. They have two cameras by the exit, right next to each other. One is facing down at the floor and one old school one (like the one from dollar tree), that could be pointing to the wall and the steps or the elevator. There is no camera by the elevator or in the elevator so it seems like they do this on the regular to know when and where at the perfect time and the place. When the officer finally got to speak with Rolando, he was getting aggressive at first. And somehow nobody wants to give out the name of the security guard who has multiple reviews on Google talking about him. But I know his name is Rolando. And for anybody wondering, Rolando also works at The Local, the place right beside Dahlia's. I've never had an experience like this at a bar before. I went out to have a couple drinks. I paid my money, and ended up with my money stolen (by the manager, Des), who was working drinks at the bar, my phone taken (by Rolando), who was also behind the bar beside the manager, my glasses broken (by Rolando), my hat knocked off (by Rolando), my drinks thrown away (by Rolando), and getting thrown out on the ground. Dahlia's needs to seriously look at who they have working security. This is not how you treat people. And Rolando -- get a life. The officers know that you take things and lie about it. Go take anger management classes. Brush your head. Never again. $32.64 for two tequila red-bulls is ridiculous anyways. Have fun with my property HOEBOES.

Dahlia's is an interesting place, to say the least. To say the most, it felt like a tiny club that didn't turn off the lights and didn't have anywhere to sit, despite not advertising all chairs had to be reserved (and I assume paid for) in advance. And that's totally fine if you're at a true club or concert venue, but we felt like we were genuinely in someone's studio apartment. It just didn't feel like a club atmosphere, the lights were on, and we were all awkwardly standing around. Some friends and I attended their NYE event, and while we had a pretty good time, I don't think any of us will be back. The drinks were quality and comparably priced to other Charlotte cocktail bars. We didn't try any of their food, and I'm not sure I ever would based on the website photos and other reviewer photos (hello, burnt empanada!). They do have what looks like an okay view, but they had the screen closed--I assume for warmth. Overall, it just felt like a one-and-done kind of place. It's too bad, because the staff was super friendly and attentive. I'll be interested to know if they're still around in the next 5 years. read more

Dahlia's - Wine Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The space looks great and is instagram stylish; however the floors were sticky reminding me of a college bar. There are a variety of drinks to choose from. I had one of the gin cocktails and enjoyed it. It did take quite a long time to make drinks and there was only one or two other customers. read more

I had a very disturbing experience at Dahlia's Charlotte on Friday, April 27, 2026 around 7:20 PM. I approached the entrance to ask a simple question about parking, and the bouncer (bald in the front with hair on the sides/back, glasses, black Nike sneakers) responded with, "What, you can't read?" I told him that was rude and walked across the street to read the sign. While I was on the phone with a friend, he began yelling across the street at me, using profanity, including the F-word, and calling me "stupid." It was aggressive and completely uncalled for. As a woman, I felt unsafe and ended up calling the police because of how hostile the situation became. When I went back to calmly ask for the manager's information, he refused to let me into the building and told me he would "call the police and have them tackle and arrest me." This was extremely alarming behavior. I did speak with a manager who apologized and said the bouncer was a contractor, but that does not excuse the behavior. No customer should ever be treated this way. I hope management takes this seriously and ensures this does not happen to anyone else. read more

Such a cute place. Luckily I went during a non busy time.. around 2pm on a Sunday so we got to experience the place while it was calm. I love the decor with the live plants. The bartender was very nice and made sure we had a good time since we were celebrating a birthday. The drinks were good and presented nicely. read more

Nice place with beautiful esthetics but I witnessed a gentleman who worked there (possibly a manager), take these two young women's full drink they purchased from the Novelty roof top bar (in the same building) and poured them out due to a policy that the young ladies were unaware of that they have a different liquor license than the roof top bar, so drinks weren't allowed in that area despite them coming to the floor only to use the restroom. If Patrons are not aware of this "policy" they shouldn't be penalized by getting their drinks taken away and disposed of read more

This place is gorgeous on the inside and the pictures of the fancy and unique drink menu called me to check it out , but... the bartenders are not nice or helpful and will outright ignore you if you don't look familiar or if you don't look like you are spending. I had high expectations for the level service based on location, interior atmosphere and management but to no avail. I thought this was going to be on my favorites list and go to for my uptown visits ... Disappointed isn't the word, they need a redo as far as bartenders go! Some of the worst ones I've ever experienced! read more

I know the bar has the capability to be warm. It's winter, why would you not use that? Plus taking all of the plants out of the ceiling and putting them on the entrance wall, rookie moves. Bring back the former glory. The old fashioned was great. But that's it. read more

Rolando was amazing. He even indulged into our weird drink request. He and his staff were awesome, and my friend and I had an amazing experience, and I look forward to visiting again read more

I really loved the ambiance here; the patio was open last night. It was a great vibe initially. The cocktail I tried was decent, but my experience with ordering charcuterie was not satisfactory. The charcuterie I ordered had 2 meats and 3 cheeses. It was delivered with 1 meat and 2 cheeses. When I brought up the missing prosciutto, our server was very apologetic. The manager offered to bring the prosciutto, so we accepted. We didn't notice the missing cheese until later, so my guest went to let the manager know this. She also let him know that we'd rather just not have the dish. The manager was visibly annoyed with us and came to collect the charcuterie. Word of advice to management- if you have a menu full of different types of charcuterie, it's distasteful to try and charge $35 for anything less than what you describe on your menus. You can't be mad at paying customers for changing their minds when they realize what's happening. We went downstairs to Saku, and had a great meal with drinks. There are better places in the same building for girls night! read more

This place is amazing. I am from Charlotte and have never seen such a great concept. The ambiance is upscale and has a plant wall as soon as you enter the space. The owner came over and introduced himself and told us a lot of the ideas and concepts that went in to creating such a nice place. The bar lights up and the drinks were really good. We went in for a quick drink and ended up being one of the last people to leave. Always happens to me when I am having a great time. If you are looking for an upscale place with good music and good drinks this is your place. I don't post a lot but I had to let everyone know how great this place was. Enjoy. read more

Spoke to owner who was very helpful and handled the matter professionally as reggie (with the small r) should have initially! Blame 3 star on him, otherwise a vibe for a light night. read more

Will not be coming back. Drinks were mediocre and so was the food. On top of it the service was not good. Our waiter was gone for long periods of time and would not check up on us. At the end of the night when we wanted to close out the waiter was no where to be found and we had to wait yet again for them. read more

checked this place out last night and I loved everything about this place. the service was great and the DJ was amazingggg!! will definitely be going back repeatedly! read more
