Humbug

This is a great cocktail bar. Went for an espresso martini but stayed for a couple more. They have a pool table in the back. The parking lot is SMALL. So you might need to park like a couple of blocks away. Definitely a great pregame spot. Or for a casual date

This place was great! While it was a bit louder than I normally like, everyone there was super friendly and the drinks were good. When the bartender was too busy, it was awesome that the bar back, Shane, kindly took his time to tell me and my sister about the drinks on the menu. I just went with sparkling wine which is my go-to, but my sister tried some cocktails that she probz wouldn't have tried without Shane. He just provided really kind service and made the ambiance of it all great. Will def come back for another drink soon!

What a great spot! We came on Friday around 6:30 pm and only had to wait ~5 mins to get a table outside. They have 3-4 tables on the deck out back, and it was lovely! The inside is small and intimate with tables/booths, bar seating, and a pool table in the back!For drinks, we both ordered the moon landing was a hoax because they mentioned it wouldn't be on the menu much longer. We both loved it! The drink menu is super unique (lots with coffee!), but they definitely have something for everyone. Service was great, atmosphere was great, drinks were great - will definitely be returning!

We are so happy to have this speakeasy-type bar in our neighborhood. We love the vibe, the cocktails are top notch, and the service is excellent. They have mastered the balance of being attentive without being bothersome, which is truly hard to do. I see myself and my husband enjoying kid-free cocktail nights here just the two of us, or with family and friends, for many years to come.

They raised their prices by 7% More inflation. Guess I'll go back to making drinks at home.Based on owners response updating to 1-Star: Owner likes to talk sh*t on social media and respond like a d*ck.

Bah humbug - not here! A thing to note before coming here so you don't have a bad experience and leave this business a negative review:- no reservations; it's first come, first serve. I recommend getting there right when they open or a little before to minimize your wait time outside. There's no waiting inside and bar seating isn't free reign, so don't expect to mosey up to the bar for a drink while you wait on a table. Yes, waiting outside is boring because there's nothing else around to see but the cocktails are well worth the wait. They take your name only, not a number, so you need to be around to hear your name called. Service: very friendly and prompt without being overbearing. The two owners are seating and delivering drinks and doing it well. We arrived shortly after opening and were told about an hour wait but they got us in way earlier than that. Ambience: casual and unpretentious which is great for this caliber of cocktail. Neighborhood bar feel with cocktails that rival those found in exclusive venues in bigger cities. Drinks: best cocktails in Charlotte, hands down. In my opinion, they're all reasonably priced at around $14 and they pack a punch! They don't skimp on the liquor and I was feeling real nice after one. We tried several cocktails and loved every single one. After reading some reviews from their pop up, I was concerned the drinks would be too sweet but they had several options that weren't and everything was perfectly balanced. If you're driving, be careful and maybe have one cocktail. Otherwise, I recommend Ubering. I love everything about this concept and I can say Humbug truly stands out from other generic, overpriced cocktail bars in the city. Relaxed atmosphere, strong and delicious cocktails at a price point lower than most - what's not to love?

Enjoyed my recent visit to Humbug. The staff was super welcoming and attentive. I started with the Renegade, one of their cocktails on the menu. It was absolutely delicious. Great mouth feel and perfectly balanced. I also ordered a New York sour (not on their menu). It wasn't quite layered properly, but the taste was spot on. Overall, great bar! Perfect for a date night or pre-dinner cocktails.

I couldn't love this spot more - it is my FAVORITE cocktail bar in Charlotte.The atmosphere is awesome - cool but casual. Modern with vintage touches. And I love that the team wont let it get overcrowded. They'll let a few more people in than they have chairs - especially since some people will go hang out in the back and play pool - but they won't let it get packed. AND they won't rush you. They want you to have a great time and enjoy the experience from start to finish.Service is super friendly, and the team is very knowledgeable. Let them know what you like and they'll come up with the perfect recommendation for you. The cocktails are creative, unique, and well balanced. From the espresso martini to the milk punch to the delicate hand, I love the drinks here.Do yourself a favor and go check out Humbug.

I had the best experience here! Ivy was my server and did the best job making sure we had a great night. She's the best! Great ambiance, great service, great cocktails. Best spot in town!

Was not a fan of the vulgar drink names. Server and some creepy guy who seemed like the manager had a pretty careless attitude. First time going back out and socializing in a while and will probably be my last for a while.
