    Great spot! Service and food, spot on! The place is small, really small and the music seemed to get louder as dinner progressed. Couldn’t really talk over the Dj but it is a “sound bar” so I enjoyed the vibe, my drinks, and food. Get the pornstar martini and try the hen in the woods!

    The whole Vibe was good. The music, waitress, and management were amazing. Only issue was that we had to leave bc there is a 2hr sitting limit and we had just bought another round. The management was understanding and let us finish. Definitely recommend going!

    Lively atmosphere a little hard to hear the server explain the menu, however, the service did not delay. Bartender went above and beyond walked around the bar to hand us our drinks as to not reach over the people were sitting in front of us. Everything we ate was amazing. Definitely will be returning!

    Our second time dining at BAR ONE on Valentine’s Day. We enjoyed the Burrata and Cauliflower starters! We 💜 the cauliflower, so unique! We shared the lasagna, which we will definitely order again, as the leftovers were just as good! Cocktails and a bottle of wine to celebrate! We will be back soon with some friends to share one of our favorite spots in Charlotte!
