    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague recommended 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 love. 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.

    I went for a girls night out. This was my first time. Parking was tight but I got a spot close by. We had reservations which I would suggest as it is not very large. They don't have food but have lite bites. There is a spot next door that you can bring in which is nice. I got a drink and it was good. Didn't get anything special but my friends did and loved them. I think everyone got one of the speciality drinks. I enjoyed the experience and they have a hidden bathroom. I will definitely be back to enjoy an evening out.

    Sneak gets every 5-star I've got! Yes, it's THAT good! Sneak is located in the Elizabeth neighborhood of Charlotte and is a gem! Inside, while not the biggest, uses the space in a great way! It actually gives you cozy, intimate vibes! Sneak has amazing drinks, smalls bites (or bring your own food) and excellent music and vibes! Service was amazing and everything was on point! Can't wait to go back!

    Super nice vibe, delicious cocktails and a fancy restroom! So this spot I highly recommend trying them out. It's a nice vibe, really great live music (jazz piano and singing) and great service. She was available but not too much. For one drink I asked for green chartreuse and dark aged rum and it was delicious. The second drink was their special called the love potion which is a mezcal based drink and it was very good if you like mezcal. The bartender knew what he was doing. The old fashioned was very good, small quantity as expected, but the quality was great. Also, check out the restroom it is cute. They ran out of all their snacks so we could not get any food so maybe next time we can try that. Over all a great speakeasy type vibe.

    Sneak is a super cute bar lounge with a very laid back vibe. I enjoyed hanging out here with a group of friends (make a reservation for a large group). It's a small spot so be prepared to sit near others. They have a small bites menu however the restaurant next door (Bang Bang Burgers) will bring you food if you go next door to order it. The drink was amazing and the hostess was attentive. There is outdoor seating with heating lamps and also music.

    Friends have been telling me about this spot for awhile. I finally made time to go and check it out. We went on a Wednesday in order to take advantage of Tiny Desk Wednesdays and to celebrate a friend's birthday. Thankfully we made reservations in advance since we had a larger party. Sneak is very intimate with seating at the bar as well as a few tables. They offer a very limited food (think snacks) menu. Our server was patient with us as we asked all the questions. Lol. Some of us ordered from the drinks that were on special, whole others opted to try other drinks. Everyone was really happy with their orders. Despite it being a Wednesday, it stayed pretty busy. The owner even came over to check on us. Overall, this is a great little spot to enjoy a nice vibe and drinks. I'll definitely be back!

    You may need reservations if you come later! Super cool spot my girls and I went to after an early dinner! If you don't want a full cocktail they have mini options! I had the creeper cucumber! So yummy and refreshing on a hot night. My friend had the toasted rice pineapple--- we don't recommend! Too much soy sauce. And our other friend got a yummy mini espresso martini. She loved the small glass it came in. It was very small maybe two shots worth. We sat inside and it was a very cool vibe to bring a date or hang with friends before going out! It's like a luxe speakeasy vibe super cool! Oh and the hostess was amazing super friendly! She seemed to be the server and hostess! So be patient Tip: Oh and bring cash! You'll get a discount. Or not charge the credit card fees

    We enjoyed our time at SneakCLT. We went after work. The venue is on the smaller side and got crowded quickly... seemed like it was a neighborhood cocktail bar where people gathered for happy hour. We attended for an event . The drinks were good and the people in my party enjoyed theirs. Service was great too, bartender remade made my drink since I wasn't really satisfied with his recommendation.

    I truly loved hanging out at sneak. From the music to the lighting and ambiance. Definitely gives you late night cocktail vibes. The team was extremely nice and so knowledgeable about their craft cocktails. Definitely recommend. I went Tuesday night and got to try their mini cocktail flight that was definitely took me on a journey of flavor and expression.

    We came in on a Saturday around 8. It was pretty full, it's a intimate space. They also have outside seating. Best to try to have reservations but we got lucky. I ordered the Don't shy away, which had tequila, carrot sour... Yes I said carrot sour... And a few other things. Presentation was pretty and the drink was oh so tasty... I ordered 2. Cocktails address and 15-20 dollars. They have different events and specials throughout the week. The staff was super friendly and I enjoyed my visit. Try them out!

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to Sneak. We sat at the bar on a Tuesday night--it was nearly empty. The drinks are made with care and attention. Tuesday nights, they watch Tiny Desk videos and it's open to anyone to update. I would love to come other nights, but definitely enjoyed this evening.

    Amazing craft cocktail bar in Elizabeth area of Charlotte .....they know their drinks here for sure. Service was amazing, every bartender there knew every drink and every liquor they sold . Small and intimate setting inside with couch seating and bar seating and a few outdoor but your in a parking lot . They serve some classic drinks and they have an awesome creative cocktail menu.With wine and beer too and a few small bar bites. We sat at the bar as that's the place to see all the action ! We tried several drinks and everyone was so good and truly unique. I had the honest deception and Don't shy away. Both very different, one was a tad spicy with carrot sour and the other was creamy and floral . My friends had the slick SOB and the silent seranade . Also the mezcal negroni and clear ambiguity. All of these are so cleverly constructed and intense in taste. They have definitely done their research . We also had the fresh baked bread, which essentially was ciabatta with a cheese and herb spread and a red pepper jelly. Good to soak up the alcohol ! Don't forget to visit the nice bathroom behind the bookcase! Loved this little gem . Hard to find a bar these days that creates each drink rather than batches them. Recommend a reservation on weekends as it is small inside . Great bar to start or end at in Elizabeth.

I'm talking top tier, Veuve Clicquot Brut service...with a little spice...Best! He was so accommodating and keep us laughing the entire time. He went out of his way to make my day special! We started with beignets, oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Espresso Martinis, a Dirty Martini, and a specialty cocktail made to order. It may sound like a weird combination, but it all paired well together. I was in the mood for beef. So, I ordered the Wagyu Brunch Burger- 1/2 lb Wagyu, Over-Easy Egg, Grilled Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Hollandaise, Avocado Spread, Brioche Bun, Garlic and Herb Fries. The fam had the Veggie Ranchero omelet- Seasonal Beans, Grilled Corn, Pico de Gallo, Poblano, Cheddar, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Ranchero, Chipotle-Lime Crema, and a Hashbrown Casserole. Fingerling Breakfast potatoes, with a side of bacon and eggs, and another Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had such a great time and can't wait to return. I even made a recommendation to a friend who dined there Labor Day weekend and enjoyed her experience. I'll be back soon for sure!

    I heard great things about food, ambiance and service. Greeted by a small team at the door…read moreimmediately. Next we experienced top tier service from Tay. He recommended the chargrilled oysters as well as the crab cakes which did not disappoint. I prefer handcrafted cocktails and this is exactly what you're going to experience at Crunkleton. Not only did I inhale my blackberry gin based drink but I was extremely pleased with the birthday beignets. If that's not enough, we devoured a third of our tomahawk steak, the strawberry salad and my favorite item of the night were the mixed vegetables that accompanied the steak. Yassss! I loved the veggies. Looking for foodie vibes, grab your friends and enjoy a night at the Crunkleton. Pro-Tip: parking is validated; arrive early to avoid crowds

Being there felt like I was in my house, from the plants, to them playing Beverly Hills Cop on the projector and all of the Black artists on the walls. It was very refreshing!!! It's so rare to go to a business and see anything familiar so this was truly inspiring. We stayed for about 30 mins because we got there right before they closed. It was fun to explore the hotel rooms and just be in this dope energy. I didn't have a full cocktail, just sipped and tried a few of my friends. I can see this being a great date night spot, or some where to go to unwind and just catch the vibes. I wish it was bigger but it's a cute spot for sure!!

The issues we faced were not having a reservation - the options online were wide open so we thought it was safe to show up - and had to wait a long time. In hindsight, I should've went ahead and made the reservation, so I'll take responsibility, but was disappointing for the experience to be so different than we expected. We were able to sit outside and waited for about 40 mins to get our table. Service was very slow. It just felt like they were really understaffed. We were there for probably 2ish hours and only got 1 drink (the one outside) as it was so hard to flag down our waitress, etc. I suspect that this place, having recently received awards / gone viral, is a victim of a huge influx of people stopping by. I wanted to love it! I'd go back during off hours and definitely make a reservation. The vibe was really cool, and the music was great. Parking is questionable, there's a gravel lot that is shared with the restaurant next door. We parked on the street, was unclear if they tow there or not.
