It's one of the best venues to see up and coming bands, as well as bands who are already well known from around the country. The stage is low but wide enough where everyone can actually see what's going on, which gives the venue an intimate feel. I like that it has some space in the back if you want a little room to back away to talk with your friends. This way you can do so at the bar area and not in the band area. Good size. Close location to uptown. Awesome bands. Great drink prices. If you're looking to try something new, give it a go.

Unless you arrive early before the music starts, the parking is terrible there and sometimes I feel unsafe to walk through those alleys in the dark alone. However the guard to the place has given me the worst impression without respect or common sense a few times that discouraging me to go there again. When I asked my friends if they experienced that, a few even said they had never been asked to show ID to go into the place. Perhaps we are Asian female and look strange. At one time, my friend came from other state and left her driver license in the car at my home. She showed that she had a copy of ID, We are all beyond 50's, the security said she had to have the real driver license. Come on give us a break? We had to drive home to get it. Last night, I went there myself, not only this guard examined my driver's license to see if that's real, check my bag and even asked me to open my jacket that was just an pullover. What authorities did he had? That's an insult to a female. Should this place hire a female guard for female as well? Someone is wrong with those guys. Been to many nightclubs in Charlotte, this is the worst I've come across so far. Been in upper management in law enforcement all my life, here I then find one who doesn't need to bring his head but his power to work.

Howard introduced his amazing 17 yr old nephew on guitar. The backup singers were phenomenal. The bass player was GREAT! The drummer was oh So handsome and was ripping the drums up!

When came here on a Sunday evening around 6pm and wasn't too much going on until about 8pm, that's when people started rolling in. My first drink was the Strawberry Spritz - If you like fruity light crisp drinks with a kick then this is right up your alley. The gin gives is a little bit but mixing the prosecco w/ the fruit eases it a bit. The second drink was the Ginger Hustle. I was hesitant considering ginger can overtake some things but thankfully it was a nice sweet balance. The third drink was the Good Vibrations which was rum based with Guava and Passionfruit syrup. If you like a strong drink with tropical fruit then this is for sure the one. All drinks were 10/10 to me! They have a small menu from "Lizzy Glizzys" and its Hot Dogs, Tater Tots, and Grilled Cheese. The Lizzy Glizzy hot dog was surprisingly good considering it was top with Hot Cheetos. The Grilled Cheese was fine, it's hard to mess that up. Overall, a its nice old school disco meets new school vibes place to chill on a weekday evening or a night out! Can't wait to see what they have in store!

There is a VIP level of stairs surrounding the standing section but honestly every time we go we dance the whole time so there's no use in renting a booth to sit and the show is just so awesome' being surrounded by everyone that you know loves the music. They have a pretty awesome and inclusive bar menu everything from top shelf tequila to your usual Miller Lite, I think they have some THC drinks and some ready to drink can cocktails. Prices are on par for Charlotte. Parking is always issue so you'll probably have to walk a long ways or get an Uber. I'm really glad the owner of the trio in Charleston decided to open the spot in Charlotte. There's always plenty of restroom stalls in the women's restroom and it's always been clean when we've been there. The employees have been really respectable and nice each time we go even though I'm in the over 50 crowd, I don't feel judged when showing up at an EDM event to dance for four solid hours. Okay Mr #Iknowtheowner- please bring Armin Van Buuren!

Love the lockers up front and lines for drinks and bathrooms moved fast. The sound system in this place is AMAZING. The entire place was standing only but they have a couple different levels to choose from, closet and further towards the back. I noticed they also have upper areas that were closed off for this show. Getting in and out was a breeze with Lyft and Nghtmre, Avello, and Riot rocked their sets, as usual. Can't wait to go back!

They bring DJ's back from the ones we grew up with and also the new hot styles of EDM. The vibe and atmosphere here easily beat the Fillmore, and the prices are way better too. There are two sections to explore, both super fun, with one being a little more intimate. The parking lot only fits around 100 cars, so we usually just Uber or Lyft, but it's close to plenty of hotels which makes it easy. We end up coming about four times a year because it's always a great time. There are plenty of different areas in the main room if you really want to be close to the stage you can walk down a ramp and really feel the beat of the speakers, but if you just want to hang around the back area and not be crowded there are some locations for the shy people.

i'm new to the Charlotte area and I googled upscale lounges to visit my first experience here I…read morequickly realize it is not a upscale establishment from sitting at the bar and watching someone bust down a cigar fill it with weed and smoke a blunt in the club, which I have nothing against anybody, who smoke however I don't expect this at a upscale establishment had I known this I would've wore something like jeans and a T-shirt however I dress up because I thought it was an upscale establishment. I am very popular back in my hometown maybe not for all good reasons. I come off as a whistleblower but one thing you will never call me as a liar and this last time I went to this establishment the DJ tried to throw shots at me as I'm walking through, which didn't really bother me as much because I don't even know who he is which I feel like it's kind of lame and childish and he's probably broke so I get it if I intimidated him in anyway I don't apologize about that however it's more than just about money cause that just says a lot about his character not mine so if you are a out of town and you're looking for a nice dining lounge experience, this is not the place to go. This is more for local if I had to guess I would say drug users so if you're not into that lifestyle, I don't recommend it. and although the food was good, I will never return back because of the disrespect from the DJ, which was unnecessary and very childish to say the least. hope this helps someone looking for a nice established lounge to visit. This is not it.

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!! I was super surprised about the parking lot in the back too. That has to be very helpful for them in Plaza Midwood area. Will definetly be back!!

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.

A lot of amazing names have crossed that stage. With ping pong and video games as well this place is a must visit as far as Charlotte goes. It ain't much to look at when you pull up. You might have to pull around back of this shack. When you walk in the front door you'll see an outdoor ping pong table to right and plenty of seating to the left. Once inside you'll see that pretty much the entire right side of the place is the bar. Some great beers on tap, plenty of bottles and cans, plus a full bar. If you look up, there's a waterfall. Yeah, really. Anyhow, around the right corner is a pool table and a couple video games and to the left is the stage. That's where you want to look, assuming there is a show on. If not, check out the other decor. All kinds of posters from shows past and plenty of booze signs. And once you've had a few, go check out all the eye candy in the bathroom. This place ain't pretty but its a great place to see some booze and/or classic rock. I highly recommend it.

Bands are usually local and you might even know a member. The drinks are strong and cheap and there is a nice variety. I like going here before AND after a show at Ovens or a Checkers game. The ring game on the deck can keep (me) entertained for a hot minute and pool and darts is a nice competitive change. I also noticed this time there, that there is a photobooth next to the bar. I'll check that out the next time I'm there.
