Overflow

Im not sure we got the full vibe of this place since we were there on a Sunday midafternoon. It was just us and four other people. But it was nice inside with plenty of vignette seating and table seating. The server was nice enough but he never checked back in with us about getting me another liquor drink, so I just had one since I didn't want to have to go find him to make me another one. Im sure had it been a Friday night this place would be lit and more fun but it felt like a coffee shop with alcohol on Sunday.

All recent reviews are 5 stars. That should tell you something. And owners are super friendly. Great concept but tough location, especially after Covid but that rooftop is insane. Probably best spot in Lake Norman! You have to go here to experience and appreciate it! I stopped in when there was a very bad accident on 77. I had one red wine on that rooftop so I could see when traffic cleared. But I ended up with a great experience. Very relaxing. If you want to unwind and don't want to travel to the mountains, pop in here and go straight to the rooftop.

Overflow is a gem for both drinkers and non-drinkers alike. The concept of self-pouring beer (and kombucha ),wine, coffee, and tea creates an inclusive atmosphere where everyone can find something they love. Upon arrival, the staff explains the self-pour concept and sets you up with a pour card linked to your card on file. Pour as little or as much as you desire while the screen keeps track of your individual drink total. Checking out is a breeze, whether you prefer a checkout with the hostess or a seamless drop-and-go option. This option is ever you can drop your pour card in the 15%, 20%, or 25% tip box and they will add the tip for you.The drink selection is vast, ranging from hard seltzers to stouts and even kombucha. Personally, I enjoyed the Lime Agave hard ginger beer for its robust flavor and the vanilla porter, which transformed when I added a with a dash of creamer and vanilla syrup from the coffee bar.Overflow has chill vibes, making it perfect for post-work happy hours or laid-back weekend hangouts. While the lake view isn't the main attraction, it adds to the relaxed ambiance, especially on the patio.The staff is friendly, easing any potential awkwardness around tipping in a self-pour setting. Although it can get crowded, my early visits offered a perfect balance of space and ambiance.Overflow is good for those seeking a unique self-pour experience with a laid-back vibe and diverse drink selection. I'll be back to explore more of their offerings on my next visit.

It is cool spot to chill, only when the weather is cool. Plenty of wine and beer on tap for everybody. Summer time it is kinda uncomfortable with the open concept and rooftop is pretty hot. Beer get warm quick. What to look at on the rooftop, nothing. I-77 or the parking lot.

I was in the area and actually saw this place from the highway. It's a very unique concept where you self pour all of your drinks! There are wine and beer options on tap. You simply get a card and scan it on the tap you would like to drink.There were all sorts of options to try and some snacks that were available for purchase but not a full menu. The space is very modern and nicely laid out with a rooftop area. On the weekends, they have music as well!I had to knock this place down a few stars because the rooftop is nice, but it overlooks the highway which isn't the most beautiful. The drinks were also very expensive! A small pour just for a tasting could be a few bucks, which really adds up after a few drinks.Definitely a cool place to hang, but couldn't be my frequent stop at the prices they have!

We have been wanting to visit Overflow for a while now, every since I saw the coming soon signage from the highway. Finally made it in today and it did not disappoint. The ambience is amazing, the space is gorgeous - and huge! There's a good sized patio downstairs and a rooftop with more seating and taps. There's blankets, heaters and fire pits on the rooftop too!Once you check in you're given a card that you use to self pour the beer and wine, which is dispensed by the ounce. They have 40+ taps and lots of local beers - IPAs stouts, wheats, etc. I found something I liked just as we were about to leave and it's definitely something I'd return for. The space itself is huge. This is the prefect spot for a date night, girls night, party/celebration or it would be cool to rent out for a private event. We visited I during the week but I hear it gets really packed on the weekends and they typically have live music and food trucks on the weekend too. I can't wait to come back with friends.

I'm rating this place 3 stars because of the new policy change to not allow humans under the age of 16 years old.I came to town from AZ and lived in Cornelius growing up- the rest of my family still lives in NC.I am here for 3 days and we used Overflow as a mid-day meeting place (1:30pm) to meet one of our friends who lives in Denver. We were rejected by this place because we had my nephew who is 8 months with us. He is the most easy going baby you would ever meet. But this place changed their rules on Tuesday to discontinue allowing adults to bring anyone under the age of 16 here. There were 4 adults and 2 of them had to leave because of this policy. Driving from exit 23 in Huntersville to check out overflow was a waste of time & money. The excuses the owner gave about not allowing babies were silly. She said children were up their artificial turf and running around. My nephew can't even walk and it was almost his nap time. Maybe consider allowing children under 1 too who can't destroy anything. I think if you turn people away for having a baby they should have their beverage during their next visit compensated for by the establishment for the inconvenience but all I got was a poor excuse that the most well behaved baby couldn't stay. I was in town for 3 days and while the owner said they have kids day- it isn't feasible for people visiting from out of state. The decorations at this place were very nice and had clean bathrooms. The sink of the rig hand side in the women's room has no water pressure and took a while to rinse the soap off because it was trickling out. The upstairs is great- we were the only ones on the roof for about 30 minutes and I don't see why we couldn't have had a baby with us sleeping. But very nice with fire pits and heaters and view of the lake. It's also nice that they have additional taps upstairs too. I got a latte and learned you don't even need their card to get coffee, you just use your personal credit card at the coffee station.

Lots of things to come here with a rooftop bar in the next few weeks... the only FYI is that their website said it was all there to experience but it isn't just yet... like the hosts didn't know about the app but the site mentions it, the coffee bar wasn't operating and the rooftop wasn't open. So just be sure to check before you come if you are keen on experiencing these things. This is a great space to unwind and try local and non local beer, wine, and you can even make a mimosa because they have OJ. You get set up with a OverFlow card when you enter- that lets you pour your own drinks! Each time you get a new drink, get a new glass. Simply put! When you're all done, drop your card in the tip jar amount you want before leaving OR close out at the front with a worker.. They have snack available for purchase too. Lots of spots to choose from, inside and out, and many games!!! I'm excited to visit again and go up a level ;) Regarding the app, my hubby researched that it will save your favs and so when you return you could get recs based on what you like- but when we went they didn't know anything about the app at the front so maybe they're not going to use it yet- All in all- a really great local spot that's clean, inviting, and fun! I chose 4 stars for the whole tip situation and the missing parts to the experience that the site boasts- I think that If I'm doing all the pouring etc, that a solid tip is nice of course but I don't think should be expected - that's just coming from a teachers point of view - anyway, I'd definitely go back! You can just opt out of a tip or change it to something different when you close out at the front instead of dropping your card in the tip jar.

Overtlow is a unique stop if you're looking to catch up with friends and have a multitude of beer and wine selections! Cocktails are wonderful too. Sometimes live music and food trucks. You're also able to order food to overflow. Upstairs is open with fire pits. staff is always friendly and accommodating. One negative is the highway noise but not enough to derail an evening.

Overflow is an exceptional venue for any sort of event/gathering. We hosted a family dinner here after a funeral, and Stacy + her staff were incredibly responsive, kind, & helpful in getting everything arranged in advance and set up day-of.They have a great selection of beers and wines, and with 40+ people, we really appreciated the self-serve set up (vs having to wait for 1 server to take 40+ drink orders). Also because you're charged by the ounce, many folks in our party enjoyed the opportunity to sample small amounts of multiple beers. They were flexible on allowing the kids in our party to stay until 8PM due to our private event reservation, which we also appreciated. We were able to bring in our own food, and they had a table set up in advance with a black tablecloth where we could lay out the buffet line. Staff were great about clearing empty glasses quickly, and Stacy regularly checked in on us to ensure all was going smoothly. The roof deck is also a great space even in colder weather, due to their fire pits + blankets available for use outdoors.I highly recommend Overflow for your next event, whether it is a party, book club, or just a night out with a large group of friends where you don't want the hassle of trying to split a tab at the end of the night. :)
