  I was salty when gin mill moved locations, abandoning their gritty old locations and free popcorn, but the new location is much much nicer and still attracts the usual slob kabobs of south end. AND get this, the food is really good. That's what I'm actually here to review, because y'all, a bar is a bar. This one has a rooftop so add some brownie points. BUT THE FOOD! I ordered this drunkenly one night thinking it would work for the time being but it was so good, I ordered it on postmates SOBER a week later. The pimento fritters are greasy and amazingly tasty. The chicken tenders are so yummy and flavorful. The ranch is definitely homemade and you'll want to dip everything in it.

  Super cute place. We went straight to the rooftop since that's what grabbed our attention from the street. You get a nice view of the street and can do some good ole ppl watching if you like. The area on the roof has a bar and a couple tables and chairs for a more intimate setting. When we were leaving out we could see the dj setting up for a party so it turns into a club atmosphere after hours on the weekend. The margarita I had was just ok but I would go back to try a different drink. Nice place if you just wanna sit out enjoy the weather and have a drink. They have inside seating of course but I haven't experienced that yet.

  If what you're looking for is a college bar type atmosphere including a large crowd/line with a younger demographic then swing by here Friday or Saturday night. The place will be packed and they will have live music. The food isn't anything to write home about but you could do worse for a sports bar. Plenty of TVs so not a bad place to catch an early game or spend a football Sunday. Overall I think I'm just too much older at this point to enjoy this type of night life but it certainly has its place. Serious about the line though at peak hours it is usually longer than anything I've seen at a Charlotte bar aside from maybe Roxbury.

  This was my first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect. The inside is nice with great size TVs to possibly view a sporting event. Yhey have a. Ice quant rooftop with a nice city view. I visited before 11 so it wasn't crowded. After leaving and walking back by after 11 this clearly was the place to be with a line our the door. The rooftop bar has a full shelf. I ordered a Margarita.  I wouldve preferred salt on the rim and just a tad more liquor.  I would possibly visit again.

  Tons of TVs, live music, food, drinks, what else can you ask for.  There is even free street parking not too far away.
  
  Stopped in here to watch the NBA rising stars game and have a drink.
  
  There is a rooftop which also has a full bar.  Multilevel venue with lots of seating.  It was really crowded on the night I was there and the crowd seemed like a good tempered crowd.
  
  The full band playing live music was good.  No cover.  
  
  Huge beer selection.  I think my beer Lagunitas was $6 or $6.50, but I was on vacation and there to watch the game.
