Interesting menu for cocktails. Very unusual and unique recipes. With down ingredients I've never heard of. Definitely crafting their cocktails. Service was great, the owner sits at the bar with customers which was cool. We scanned the menu but stuck to the classic Negroni which was made perfectly and their version of an espresso martini made with salted coconut foam. A very strong drink and I loved that foam! Good take on it. We had a great time enjoying our cocktails and listening to the music amongst our own conversations. Nice and chill place to hang out . Inside was cool with great artwork. They also had a patio too. I was glad to see they stayed busy til they closed at 1am. Really enjoyed finally checking this place out.

Lots to choose from on the menu. Came for the espresso martini, but it wasn't it for us. The fernet…read morebranca was off-putting. Definitely a unique take, but I didn't like the menthol/minty flavor. The peach beach drink was fun, but would've loved to see it just on the rocks & not frozen (perhaps an option?) - fun little beach ball stress ball on it, though! The staff was friendly and informative, as well as attentive. Also, the cheez-its were delicious as a snack. Cool spot for a cocktail with friends or a date. Room at the bar and tables, plus outdoor seating. Not sure the status on the pool table if you have to pay per game, but they do have one.

We don't live in Charlotte, but we've stopped in two or three times and always enjoy the atmosphere. It was especially good to see Christian behind the bar again. He had just started when we visited last time. He provides great service and makes wonderful drinks. My one recurring frustration is the wine availability. On multiple visits, the wine I've ordered hasn't been in stock. Tonight I ordered an Albariño, but they were out, so I settled for water. I like this place and give it four stars. Keeping the wines on their menu consistently stocked would make the experience even better.

The cocktails and wine selection are solid, with drinks that feel thoughtfully put together. Definitely a good spot if you're here for the beverages and the vibe. As for the food, there's a lot more room to grow. The cauliflower appetizer, for example, could use a more inventive preparation and bolder flavor to match the energy of the space. Not as exciting as the drinks or ambiance. Overall, it's a nice place to unwind with good cocktails, good company, and a cool lounge feel.

We did make reservations for a Monday night, though it wasn't busy at all, so you could probably swing by on a whim should you want to during the week. The place was a bit elusive to find, as you have to look for the '3 dot sign' with a staff member guarding the door, which I'm sure is the intent! Once you enter, you walk down a long, candlelit hall, which sets the speakeasy mood right away. Upon entering, the classic speakeasy vibe hits you! Dim lighting, leather chairs, a beautiful bar stocked to the brim with whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and all the other good things you would expect to find in a place that prides itself on great cocktails. It certainly set the mood and got us ready to have an experience. The mixologists were welcoming and informative. I enjoyed my first drink, which was suggested based on my personal preferences in taste. It was a spin off a classic, and I really enjoyed it. Sort of like a cross of a penicillin and a whiskey sour. [The Never Ending Story]. My friend had the clarified punch since we had similar things we've loved in the past. It was slightly sweet, smooth, and easy to sip. We decided to just get some classics since the cocktail menu felt more like just off shots of other classics we love. They were both excluded well! But the thing that really blew us away was the food! I was really pleased with this portion of our evening! We had the crispy Brussels sprouts, and they were the best BSs I've ever had! I thought we'd take some home, but that did not happen! My friend got the Mushroom Casarecce. It was creamy and delicious! The beef carpaccio was also really nice. Overall, we had a nice night, and it was a fun experience to be had!

A Fun Start to the Night at Conspiracy…read more 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.

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.

They also have $6 mystery shots, which are so fun and, 10 out of 10 times, delicious! We came in at a slower, earlier time, but later on and during the weekends, it really fills up. It's such a fun environment with plenty of room to stand and enjoy the music or sit and enjoy your cocktail. It's the perfect spot for after-dinner drinks or as a pre-game before an event. This time around, we tried the "Summer '16" and "Berry the Evidence"--both were incredible. Such a fun spot!

I had high hopes for this restaurant when I made a reservation for Valentine's Day, but…read moreunfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations. While I take full responsibility for arriving 15 minutes late, I was shocked at how rudely the hostess--who we later learned was the manager--handled the situation. Rather than a simple acknowledgment of the delay, or improbability of getting a table, she made a point to shame us, emphasizing that accommodating us would be an extra burden for her. This set an uncomfortable tone from the start. When she begrudgingly seated us at a table that had somehow magically become available, she made another unnecessary comment, implying that I should do my part to not make her job so difficult again. My partner was immediately put off and suggested we leave, but I decided to give the restaurant another chance, assuming the manager might just be having a rough night. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The food, best described as uninspired frozen bar fare from the main Duckworth's kitchen, took over 30 minutes to arrive--and even then, it was served before our drinks. When the drinks finally did arrive, they were nothing exceptional. I ordered a French 75, and my partner had a Paloma, only to realize that even the drinks had come from downstairs at Duckworth's. Given the restaurant's supposed reputation, I was surprised that it didn't have its own bar, unlike how things are set up at The Cellar. The only redeeming aspect of our visit was our waitress, who was pleasant and professional. However, what puzzled us the most was that despite the manager's initial reluctance to seat us, nearly half of the restaurant remained empty throughout the evening. With at least three or four servers working in a relatively small space, it was clear that staffing wasn't the issue--so why the hostility? It was hard not to wonder if other potential diners had been similarly turned off by the manager's deplorable attitude and the underwhelming menu. Overall, the experience left a bad taste in our mouths--both literally and figuratively. Between the lackluster food and drinks, and the uncalled-for attitude from management (she is bald and was wearing a dress on the evening of 2/14/25 at 9:30PM-11PM), I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.
