Dahlia's

Charlotte, North Carolina

Dahlia's is a cocktail lounge on the third floor of the Binaco Tower on East 5th Street in Uptown Charlotte, above Saku. Axios Charlotte, which lists it among Charlotte's best cocktail bars, notes live music and small plates, with signature cocktails alongside wine and beer. The kitchen sends out flatbreads, salads and charcuterie and dessert boards, and the house drinks include a smoked Old Fashioned named for the bar and a drink called the Shadow Cat. The bar's own site says its cocktails are seasonal and built on premium spirits and handcrafted ingredients.
