This was a funky little eclectic, cool neighborhood-y drink spot. The bar got busy at times, there were different seating areas but not that many tables inside. The majority of people were seated outside. The drinks were interesting and good. They dont serve food, so they let you bring in your own outside food. The decor was interesting and cool. Lots of records, a disco ball, some dried flowers, etc.

I had an amazing experience at Substrates in Charlotte, North Carolina. I visited with my sister, and we were absolutely blown away by the ambiance and the selection of wines. The bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable and really took the time to recommend the perfect wine for usunfortunately, Im blanking on the name, but it was delightful! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a glass of wine. Highly recommend it!

Was so excited to hear that Substrate opened! I love when new place is open in the neighborhood. I really liked to vibe in there. Theres a few different sections with all different different places to sit. I loved all of the selection of vermouth and wine. I ended up having a white vermouth that was outrageous. They had bottles for sale as well. The bartender was very accommodating and knowledgeable. They also had records for sale. Thought that was a great touch!! The bathrooms need to be renovated, but they make fun of that. They also have a nice outdoor space if you would like to bring your dog. Will absolutely go back again!!

Inviting blue collar wine & vermouth bar with highly knowledgeable staff. Live music, DJs, or in-house vinyl selections always make for a laid back vibe. Attracts a balanced and diverse crowd with many regulars. Their team has a knack for collaborating with top notch local food trucks & kitchens based on the theme or event, which sell out most nights. Follow their Instagram to see who they are hosting. Highly recommend.

Substrate is amazing. The bartenders give great recommendations and Ive tried really interesting and delicious wine here. You can tell some love went into creating it they also have some of the greatest music (live and otherwise).
