8 Best Bars in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Located off the Rail Trail in South End, this lively cocktail bar housed inside an old parachute factory is one of the only bars on this public thoroughfare. The atmosphere rules over everything with cozy, speakeasy vibes inside with overstuffed couches, old books, a fireplace, and multiple seating areas with intimate arrangements. The massive outdoor patio is outfitted with bright umbrellas, more cozy seating, heaters, and fire pits for chilly nights. Newer drinks on the menu have pun-y names, like the Chai Hard With a Vengeance, but the classics, like the Paper Plane, are there too." - Timothy DePeugh
