There is something decidedly different, unique, and even refreshing about a wine bar. It is where you can do away with the grungy scene that is often found in typical “bars”, and replace it with a more sophisticated and friendly feeling. Which makes it a great place for you and your spouse on your night out together, or perhaps just a nice place to meet up with your adult friends. But where are the best wine bars located in the Charlotte area of North Carolina? Here are some top picks and what makes them so hot.
Arthur’s Restuarant & Wine Shop

Located inside of Southpark Mall, in South Charlotte, Arthur’s has been in this area for over thirty years and specialize in some of the best wines available. What makes Arthur’s such a hot spot is not only the comfortable atmosphere, but also the fact of where it’s located – in one of the best malls in the Charlotte region! So that means you and your honey can do a little shopping (or window shopping is fine, too), enjoy one another’s company, and end the experience right here at home in the mall without having to move the car!

This is a very exquisite wine bar located in Charlotte, and it’s the perfect atmosphere to enjoy with friends because it’s just that casual enough to not make it too romantic. It’s a fun and rather entertaining atmosphere, and has been described as “not your average wine bar”… which is so true, because it is here where you can explore and taste wines from all over the world, laugh and rejoice with your friends, and remain totally relaxed.
