    Authentic classic bar in the middle of beautiful downtown Matthews. If you want a night out with well crafted drinks and locals having a blast. The live music is fantastic at least this night the musician was wonderful. Loved the music atmosphere and drinks! I'd say is a spot you must visit at least once If you live in Charlotte. Also, perfect for a first date night drink or nightcap... or to meet new people also. The service is fast and friendly. Lovely time will be back.

    Stumptown Station is a private bar (cocktail, wine, beer) located in Matthews, NC (around 15 miles Southeast of Charlotte, NC). Since it is a private club, there is a fee of $5 per year (or VIP at $30 per year, which comes with own engraved glass / mug). The membership of $5 allows each person to bring up to 4 guests (only 1 entry allowed). The space itself is located in a 2 level brownstone building. There are several options on the menus, but I really like Mules, so I decided to try their Matthews Market Mule (made with NC Vodka, NC Ginger Ale, Fresh Lime with Stumptown Seasonal Pick). At the time, mine was apple cider / cinnamon. NOM NOM NOM!! At the time of visit, there was a live DJ and then some Bingo. Definitely a fun atmosphere. ENJOY!!

    This is a perfect example of what a local bar should be, as it is a located in a storefront on trade street that harkens back to days of old, but once you walk inside, you are greeted and treated like family in a very genuine and authentic way that is hard to find at most places large or small these days. The owner/bartender Brandon welcomed me with open arms and even though there was a decent crowd at the bar, he took the time to explain the concept of the bar to me, (private membership which included filling out info on an iPad along with a $5 membership fee that was simply added to the tab) including letting me know all about the local spirits and beers they carried. He also shared a few anecdotes about the various spirits which was a nice touch and really added to the down home feel of the place. At no time did I feel like an outcast, as both the staff and the bar patrons were friendly from the start and made me feel right at home even though it was my first time there. The Matthews market mule that I ordered was without a doubt the best take on a Moscow mule that I have ever had, as the local Salamander vodka paired with the cinnamon and apple that was added to the drink made took it to a completely different level than the standard Moscow mule as the flavors complemented each other so well and the drink didn't have the heavy ginger beer taste that is so typical of most Moscow mules that I have tried across Charlotte. In closing, I just want to say that this is the kind of place that I wish was closer to me as I would totally be a regular if it was. Also would be cool if they served food, but they do allow you to bring in food from the local places, but not the same as a one stop shop. Small nit picky things to be sure as the positives far outweigh these minor issues and these things definitely don't keep Stumptown Station from joining the exclude five star club, as this place is a keeper no doubt about it!

    What can't I say about Stumptown. It's like cheers, here you are family. We moved to Matthews in December 2018 from Colorado. We knew nothing or anyone here. We quickly felt welcome within the walls of Stumptown. Brandon is a master at making the most amazing old fashioned. Tell Kristen to make you anything and she will blow your socks off. Josh and now his brother are a great team to watch behind the bar . Ha. They go above and beyond and remember your name. Best craft cocktails around. We will forever love and cherish this bar.

    AMAZING service. Came for the fall tasting & all the cocktails were exceptional! A very cozy vibe and the owner Brandon was so informative on all of the drinks and how they are created! Will definitely be back for more. Thank you Stumptown Station for a wonderful afternoon!

    Stopped off at Stumptown Station during a pass through Charlotte and was completely wowed! The transformation that took this place from a run down dive to its current state is truly inspirational. The cocktail menu has elevated the classics to a new level. These guys actually keep it pretty simple, which is why I think they are killing it and this is a true gem. They do what they do very well instead of trying to do a bunch of stuff mediocre. The old fashioned is a must try!! Congrats guys...great spot!

And as crowded as it was on our recent visit, The One may eventually have to seek out trendier, more spacious digs somewhere else in the Queen City. Until then, be prepared for a noisy ambiance, peak hour waits and tables that are a bit close for comfort. But the food and cocktails make it all worth it. The extensive menu of shareable plates offers something for every palate, from the tasty Fettucini with Roasted Duck Ragu and flavorful Braised Short Ribs to the amazing Oxtail Empanadas. Paired with a perfectly mixed Old Fashioned or a bottle of wine from their impressive selection, it adds up to a compelling culinary experience for anything from date night to an evening with friends. Service was excellent on our visit and prices were very reasonable for a meal of this caliber. Parking is free and super-easy, but reservations are highly recommended -- especially for weekend visits. My only gripe was the tightness of the space, which makes intimate conversation a bit challenging and the tables a bit crowded -- especially when you order a variety of plates. But if you can manage to visit on a quiet weeknight, The One will deliver a wonderful tapas meal that will have you planning a return visit before you pick up the check.

For my main I chose the Cobia with pesto and gigante beans. I love the amount of flavor with this dish and I love even more that they had Cobia (not a very common fish found in restaurants). The fish was perfectly cooked and again, the pesto exploded with flavor. I wish would have saved room for dessert but after these amazing dishes we were stuffed. Great food, great atmosphere and great service!

If you end up having such a great time that you hang late, they don't rush you out or blast "Closing Time" to make things awkward. They're chill and let you finish up at your own pace. The food trucks are hit or miss--sometimes absolutely amazing, sometimes not great--but there's always something happening. There are five businesses inside, so it never feels boring. They host comedy nights, live bands, karaoke, Pokémon events, and board game days/nights, which gives it a cool community vibe. My singular complaint would be when the daylight changes to evening, these awful too-white bright lights come on that make you feel like you need sunglasses and ruin the cozy vibe. They did add some warmer lights around the garage door, but I wish they would change the color of those really bright ones that come on at night. Overall, it's a fun, relaxed place to hang out.
