Order the turkey pesto flatbread and a glass of Simi Chardonnay and your wildest dreams will come true! For real though, fun place. Mark will make you the drink you didn't even know you needed. Just ask and you shall receive. Comfortable seating at the bar or tables. Nice speakeasy vibe. They have live music as well on the weekends. You will probably meet your best friends here. Parking can be a challenge, there is street parking but I think there are a few spots in the garage as well. It's an easy walk from anywhere in uptown really. Just go!
Located on the ground floor of the iconic Vue Apartment Building, The Conspiracy is a sophisticated yet laid back cocktail lounge and bar. The decor is elegant but it does not feel stuffy. It makes for a great night cap or date night spot and even includes some live music. If you're looking for a fun but more laid back night and you feel you are a little too old (or too tired) for the club environment, this makes for a great alternative. You can have great cocktails in a warm and cozy environment whether it be with friends, your special someone, or even if you want to treat yourself to a nice night out. The servers and bartenders are friendly, and there are plenty of seats at the bar if you'd like to belly up. I'm definitely glad to know this spot exists and if I find myself Uptown in the future I'm sure I'll be stopping in again.
The Conspiracy is a great cocktail lounge and bar! I found this spot on a random Thursday night and the bar was hosting trivia. The staff was helpful and fun, making great drinks.
My best friend was in town for the weekend and we wanted to switch things up and try something different so I took him to this speakeasy inspired spot that I haven't been to yet and after walking in I was thoroughly surprised how dope this place was. We just missed the band but the vibe was freaking awesome! We didn't get the chance to order any food but the drinks was were delicious and the service was attentive to our needs. This is a GREAT spot for a date night, I think I might take my wife here for a time.
Such a cozy spot with amazing food! The turkey meatballs were a standout- perfectly glazed, generously portioned, and made with turkey for a healthier twist, which we really appreciated. We also tried the trio plate featuring a crab cake, short rib, and shrimp scampi. The crab cake was flavorful, though not made with lump crab. The short rib was tender and came with two nicely sized pieces. The cauliflower lettuce wraps were a fun, hands-on option with bold, delicious seasoning, definitely a hit at our table. To top it all off, we shared the dessert trio, and everything was delicious. Surprisingly, the apple turnovers ended up being my favorite! We love this place and think it offers great value. Most dishes are around $15, with the exception of the trio plates, which include more food so are priced a bit higher. Two plates per person is a good sweet spot, making it a reasonably priced option considering the upscale atmosphere and quality of the food. With the Trio as one of the plates, we only needed three for two people. Of course, adding drinks or dessert (which we recommend!), will bring the total up a bit, but def worth it.
We've been wanting to try The Conspiracy since they opened, and we were not disappointed! The inside is huge compared to many of the pictures online, with a very cool lounge/speakeasy feel. Both spacious and intimate at the same time. We came very early in the night for drinks before a separate dinner reservation, and were met with fun and highly attentive staff. They had the best drink and food recommendations, even with some suggestions for tweaks. Also very supportive of an allergy request, which was very appreciated. I cannot wait to return again with friends for a longer engagement!
I love it here. It's Uptown's newest place to be. All of the food I've tried is really good and filling. I recently tried the NY cheesecake and the serving size was more than enough. They have the best pumpkin martini I've had in Charlotte so far. Katie of course makes it the best, let her make it. Mark is great as well, true professional at his craft. Austin is so sweet, great service. I wouldn't call this place a speakeasy, because it's not a real speakeasy is. It does give off a true intimate bar/lounge setup for an older crowd. They also have live music here. No complaints, I'll keep returning back.
This new hot spot in Uptown Charlotte is the latest secret hideout place to be. From the cool entrance, and the bump-in-Groovy-Jazzy vibes of the music, in the warm ambience in the comfortable sophisticated mid-century modern seating, is strategically placed to make you feel cozy and cool. So I decided to take a seat at the bar. This is a easy night and I didn't want to cook dinner. I needed something quick and satisfying. So Mark, my bar specialist, put together a nice combination of braised short ribs, and goat cheese pesto and Basil Hayden, just for me. Not only was the food perfectly tempered, it was delectably seasoned, moist and earthy. I first tried my Goat cheese and immediately felt at home and comfortable as if I was wrapped up in a warm weighted blanket. This is a place that you go to relax, before our after an event, getting a massage, topping off your evening. It's a place to get a small bite to eat on a small plate, but only to make you feel real big because of the service and the warmth of the environment. I will be back. This is a place to brag about. Thanks!
We visited The Conspiracy a few weeks ago, early one Saturday evening. It was fairly empty when we arrived. All of the best seating was available so we opted for the comfy couch against the brick wall. It's a cozy, quaint spot with a super chill vibe. I ordered the cocktail recommended by the waiter. It was decent. It was a nice balance between enjoyable and fair...not bad at all, but I wouldn't order it again. The cheese and charcuterie board was great because we were able to choose the type of cheese and meats we wanted. The presentation and quality were what we hoped for. The hummus dish was my favorite. I typically don't eat hummus, but I'm glad we ordered it. It was the most simplistic, tasty, and velvety hummus dish. The only opportunity for improvement was the serving of bread that accompanied it. The hummus dish was quite large, so we ordered another side of toasted baguettes. Overall, the service was great and the experience warrants another visit in the future.
Ambience is excellent, they have lots of space and different options for seating. The drinks were excellent. We did not have food here, but the drinks were well-made. The service was also excellent as the waiter gave us recommendations based on what we normally like to drink. I would definitely come back here again for cocktails or a quick bite.
This hidden gem in uptown is so fun and full of life. It gives speakeasy vibes but the lights aren't too dim to where you can't see what you're eating. There's plenty of seating and there's no need to make a reservation in advance. They have events and live music that they display on their instagram so keep a lookout on there. The prices are sort of high so just be aware that if you're looking to eat a meal, I'd do so before coming here. We got a 4 item charcuterie board for $35 and this is all they gave us. The drinks and food were very delicious though! There's no parking here so you'll have to park on the street or find a lot to park in.
I've been here twice with large parties and both times conspiracy has been very friendly and accommodating. We had a friend event last night and the service was excellent, drinks were good, and I love their menu. Great vibes and a chill crowd, always a good time here!
Very nice, chill, speakeasy vibe type bar. Came here on a Wednesday night as I was visiting from out of town and it was near the area I was staying. Small plates/tapas style food. Seems as they are pretty new and working out kinks.
A Fun Start to the Night at Conspiracy We kicked off our night at Conspiracy, and it did not disappoint! It's a genuinely cool bar with a variety of seating areas to choose from. We opted for seats right at the bar, front row to the action. Fair warning: there were a few patrons nearby who'd clearly gotten an early start on their day and seemed more interested in basic shots than in actually experiencing what the mixologists here can do. If that's your scene, there's a time and place -- just maybe look elsewhere for it. That way, the rest of us can sit back, relax, and watch these bartenders work pure magic for our taste buds. And magic is the right word -- the drinks were fantastic. We gave them a sense of our preferences, and they ran with it, nailing every choice. For my second round, they skipped the menu entirely and just built something straight from their imagination -- exactly what you want from a place like this. The one food item we tried, the goat cheese pesto dip, missed the mark -- wouldn't order it again. But honestly, we weren't there for the food. With cocktails that good, it was still a win all around. read more
As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of flatbreads, I feel qualified to say: The Conspiracy has an AMAZING flatbread. I visited in late July and had a Moscow Mule, the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, and the apple and cheese flatbread. The mac and cheese was delicious, but the flatbread absolutely stole the show. I love a good sweet-and-savory combination, and the Honeycrisp apples with brie and mozzarella were out-of-this-world good. Easily one of the best flatbreads I've had. The atmosphere was just as memorable. It's dark but warm, with a very intentional speakeasy feel. I especially loved the half-moon green velvet booths--they create such a cozy, intimate setting and would be perfect for a dinner date or a more elegant evening out. The staff were polite and professional, and even the way they were dressed felt slightly more upscale and added to the overall experience. I really enjoyed everything about my visit and would absolutely come back. Whether you're looking for a nice date-night spot or just somewhere with great food and atmosphere, I'd recommend it. And seriously--get the flatbread. read more
This place is super cute inside, it's such a vibe. Location is so-so and surprisingly it wasn't crowded on a Friday night. Plenty of seating is available, both at the bar and at booths, tables and lounge chairs. The staff is super nice and attentive, we received food recommendations and felt right at home. Sadly the food wasn't impressive. Presentation was great, but flavor was lacking. My drink was also just so-so. I'm conflicted on if I'd return but I'm not opposed to giving it one more try. Parking is available in the Vue garage if you can find a visitor spot. Also they have live music most weekends. read more

Saw this place on a Instagram post and decided to find it. Pretty big for a bar and two nice sections, bars on both sides. Couches, booths, and nice open space. It was nice to be somewhere uptown where it wasn't noisy and loud and can't hear the people your with. Nice decor but still can be casual. They have a nice cocktail list as well as wine and beer. Also a small plates menu, with a nice varied choice. The staff were very cool and answered my questions about drinks etc. Even made me a drink off menu, and was just engaging in a nice way. We had the lunar leap, their take in the espresso martini, nice not too strong, with a interesting cream sphere, unfortunately it doesn't melt like I'd hope, to make the martini a little creamier. But I still enjoyed it. We tried the tuna crudo, with a nice Smokey flavor, jicama, radish, and apple kombucha. Great flavor. We also tried the bravas style potatoes. Delish, with a spicy marinara. Love the small plates with drinks! Then the bar tender made me a white Negroni, which I didn't see in many places, but love, it was a little different, more citrusy , but still good. I love she took the time and showed me all she was using in it. Nice sipping drink, don't drink this one too fast. Really enjoyed this place. It's not crazy busy, but a nice stream of people in and out, but it one of those uptown places that is just packed and you don't enjoy. Totally would come back here. Loved the ease of the place. read more
Popped into Charlotte's newest speakeasy to nosh on a few shared plates and craft cocktails. First let me say, the atmosphere is enchanting and the vibe is sexy, The Conspiracy is "hidden" in the heart of Uptown and certainly lives up to its self-proclaimed title of "Uptown Charlotte's best kept secret". The menu is tasty and eclectic--not overly seasoned so you can really taste the ingredients. The drinks are imaginative and will sneak up on you. If you're in Uptown, check it out. read more
Really enjoyed this place overall! The service was friendly and fairly quick. Drinks and food was great! The ambiance inside is really intimate and cozy, great for a date night especially if there's live music! Just incredibly overpriced that's the only reason why I gave it 4/5 stars read more

The drinks were too good . My rating here is 4 because of the high price && few items to choose from the menu . read more

Attended the grand opening last night and it was a whole vibe! Mark the bartender makes a fantastic cocktail. I met Holly the person who did the work in opening the bar and she was so proud of her team. It was great to hear her vision! read more

Mark provided top-notch bartender customer service. His humor, friendliness, and attentiveness were timely after an intense work day for me. I highly recommend the flavorful Short Rib Bites! The Conspiracy gives that speakeasy vibe in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. read more

Friendly staff. We were greeted as soon as we walked in & was attended to throughout the night. I parked about two blocks away and walked (I was unsure where to park nearby for free). Staff was really nice, drinks were amazing. Vibes and ambiance were both really nice. Goat cheese dip was really good. I wish it came with more bread pieces though. Overall great experience & I would return. read more
