    Beet salad
    Megan P.

    I went here with 6 friends and this place was social distancing. We were able to sit close to the bar. Where they had a couch and two chairs for our group to sit at. This place the staff was friendly and they had nice music playing in the lounge. The food was great. The service was good as well. The only thing with the service was when we got our food the server would forget to bring forks. Once we got our food she would have to go back and get forks for us. I had a beet salad which was good, but I felt the beets could have been a little softer to the bite. I had the pickled vegetables which had radishes, cucumbers and another pickled vegetable that was flavorful. I ended the night with a piece of olive oil cake which was great. It was tasty and it was gluten free. It had a lemon sauce and blueberries on it the cake was nice and moist not dry at all. I will be coming back.

    One of the best club I have been in Charlotte! Extremely clean great service from Security to Bartenders and Bottle girls! Music is great they play all variety of music! I recommend and give it a 100 out of 10!!!

    I had a really good experience here and I owe it all to the bartender. She was sooooo good. She was not only extremely friendly, but also very helpful. I told her what I like in a drink and how much I wanted to pay and she custom made the best spicy cocktail ever. She also gave me candied jalapeños, which were amazing. I never had a bartender actually care enough to do that, and it was awesome. The atmosphere was nice. It was decorated beautifully. I went on a Thursday and it wasn't too crowded, it had just enough people to have a good time, but not crowded so you can't even move. I liked it, and I would definitely go back again.

    I've been waiting for this place to open for a while as I follow the mixologist and venue on IG. Once I saw the official grand opening, I immediately RSVP'd for myself and a friend. The RSVP was free and did not mention a cover of any sort. Although still new here from Brooklyn, Charlotte's nightlife scene is getting a wave of places with sharp dress codes, free seating, incredible crafted cocktail lists and beautiful social people. Not to mention uptempo music that triggers a good time and conversation with other transplants and the rare native. I dressed up and headed over at 8:15 for the launch party was ID'd and entered with my ticket pulled up in my iPhone. When entering, I noticed a long line of people appearing to be registering for something. NC state laws are weird so I figured QC Social is a private club. Come to find out there was a $10 membership fee that was not mentioned on the RSVP or follow up emails. Patrons including myself was confused as to why we had a "free" ticket but still paying for a cover. I understand covers and their purpose but a heads up would have been nice. When I mentioned it to the lady signing me up, she said "yeahhhh I'm sorry. Just try to have a good time okay?". I paid the $10 and registered but that threw me off for the fact I felt a bit swindled. I don't even know what that membership includes since you don't receive an email or card or anything. Now to the ambience, this places gets it! Warm low lighting, exposed brick, plush large leather couches, high velvet wingback chairs! The jazz band started the night off slow and everybody looked amazing. Fellas had on suits, ladies in cocktail dresses. This was the night to be seen and look your best. You planned for tonight, and it showed. The cocktail list was short with four drinks, I assume to not overwhelm the guests. I hear their is a larger cocktail list for other nights. I had the Bob Marley drink that gave you vibes of a breezy night on an island. Think Rum Chata, lime, nutmeg. It has way more ingredients than that I just can't recall the exact list. The draft list was impressive, I'm a beer buff so love seeing Omnipollo and Evil Twin as well as local stuff. I would say too many stouts and high gravity beers for the summer. I opted for a Full Steam IPA out of Durham. Perfect. Bathrooms we spacious and well lit. The patio had free seating I hope stays to promote conversation since I met some new friends out there. The DJ came on around 11 and he sealed the night. High energy, R&B classic mixes, the guy was flawless on the tables. Plus, he looked good while doing it. Well dressed, sharp bald fade and tats. I see a lot of nights here and won't allow the initial bad shuffle keep me away, but definitely want management to understand and explain what's going on. We came out to support the launch of something great, take every step to inform us of what we're getting upfront. Outside of that, cheers to QC Social Lounge.

    This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW

The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

No one should have to chase for service that the establishment is known for. No one should have to wait on a extremely long line just to receive a drink at a hookah lounge. This is not a club by any means. Even if you have an event, the establishment should plan much better for the crowd by make it a more efficient and effective experience. The transition was horrible.

(Hookahs are easily in the top three of in the city) Combining atmosphere, patrons and quality ... Taboo Lounge gets top marks. Don't let the negative reviews fool you as they all refer to a "cover." As a regular attendee, I want to speak on this: It's not a "cover" it's a membership fee enforced by the state. Also, no matter what you call it, it is a ONE TIME payment that will allow you access for a whole year. (If you are out of town the fee is actually half off) Being a member not only gives you access to what I consider the best spot in town but it also affords you a discount to the attached smoke shop. This shop compliments the lounge and honestly, if you purchase anything of note twice in a year the membership pays for itself. Drink pricing, compared to other spots in the city is $$ tier. This isn't your undergrad level lounge and that's a positive if you are older, however, it's worth mentioning that there are weekday specials to soften the blow. All in all if you want great value and ambiance, give this place a shot.
