Charlotte, North Carolina
Humbug is a cocktail bar on The Plaza in Villa Heights, next to Plaza Midwood in Charlotte, and its drinks program runs on the line "Always Delicious, Never Pretentious." Its owners aim for a middle ground between a modern craft cocktail bar and the easygoing local bars they frequent, and Axios Charlotte, which lists it among the city's best cocktail bars, describes a cozy room with a large bar, a pool table and a lounge in the back. The cocktail menu changes seasonally: the fall 2026 list runs from a clarified milk punch to a smoked rye drink and a hot whiskey serve, with an alcohol-free option. Eater Carolinas adds a menu of shooters that includes a Malort shot.
