Dram & Draught

Visiting from Ohio-Had a great time here and even made some friends that we saw at another bar a week later! Came out for the start of South End Tiki week and got their tiki drinks which were delicious(didn’t get pics of the tiki drinks, we chugged them lol). Got to watch them do a fun little bar tender competition too. Very cool place to hang out and have a drink!

In general I like a Dram and Draught. The Charlotte location was done well. I think the Raleigh location has a better selection but this is a good bar to visit for mix drinks and spirits

Great music and vibes. Late night drink specials were a great idea. Ordered a few shots, a cosmo and a couple mezcal old fashioneds which was yummy!

The drinks are excellent as is the service. It’s 5s across the board in those categories. The atmosphere is great, the music is right! I averaged a 4 because someone keeps skipping songs randomly on the sound system. This has happened 9 times so far this visit. I don’t really care what music is playing but the jarring song jumps are taking me out of the excellent experience you are creating. Curating the queue playing would be a way more seamless way to keep the vibe.

Dram & Draught is a hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts and anyone seeking a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Located in the heart of the city, this craft cocktail bar excels in creating imaginative drinks that showcase the artistry of mixology. The moment you step inside, you are greeted by a warm ambiance characterized by soft lighting, comfortable seating, and an inviting vibe that encourages conversation and camaraderie. The cocktail menu at Dram & Draught is nothing short of impressive. Each drink is thoughtfully crafted using high-quality spirits, fresh ingredients, and house-made syrups. The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate, eager to share their expertise and recommend drinks based on your personal preferences. Whether you’re in the mood for something classic like an Old Fashioned or want to try one of their unique seasonal concoctions, there’s something for everyone. One standout cocktail that I highly recommend is the “Smoked Rosemary Gimlet,” which strikes a perfect balance between the refreshing citrus notes and the rich, smoky undertones. It’s a delightful experience that engages all the senses. In addition to the incredible cocktails, Dram & Draught often features tastings and events that celebrate local distilleries, further enhancing their commitment to the craft. The friendly staff and community-oriented atmosphere make it a fantastic spot to unwind after a long day or to kick off a night out with friends. If you’re a fan of craft cocktails, Dram & Draught is definitely worth a visit!

Such a cute spot! I’ve been here a couple times now and it’s one of my favorite bars! The drinks are fantastic! I love the variety they have. Also a big fan of the holiday and event themed drinks they do. The service is always fantastic! Everyone is so nice and they take care of you here!

Stopped in for a cocktail tonight after dinner. Overall, the presentation of the place is outstanding. The bar staff was far less than professional. When I asked for a bottle list, I was told that I should just look at the wall and then ask about pricing because "the list isnt accurate". If youre going to have a big whisky inventory, then plan to keep it updated. When going to the bathroom, I felt like I might have to leave a shoe behind based on how sticky the floors were. I lift the toilet seat, it falls off. Don't judge a book by the cover is key here - awesome initial vibes, terrible experience thereafter.

This place has a huge selection of spirits and beer. Nice bar and space, with a little bit of outside seating. Awesome bartenders that are very creative, talented and friendly. They don't serve food, but alow you to bring food in. There is a great deli next door along with other places near by. Can't wait to visit again.
