The Evening Muse

Bad neighborhood. Crime.  Difficult to park. No fire exit!!!!!!!

I would award this venue 6 stars, if possible.

I fell in love with The Evening Muse the first time that I stepped through its doors.  The venue feels less like a bar and more like an authentic music garage.  No fuss= my style. Although I do not live in Charlotte, my boyfriend and I have made this our regular spot every time I come into town for visits.  Beyond the cool, eclectic vibe and intimate setting, TEM has amazing drink specials and attracts some increeeedible talent.  The last time that we visited The Evening Muse, there were $3 IPA bottles on special and a musical performance that had me in tears.

As if that wasn't enough, the owner is awesome and accomodating.  On top of the devoted regulars that post up near the bar, the crowd contains a mix of all ages and styles, adding to the unique feel.  If you're in the Charlotte area, I definitely recommend paying this NODA gem a visit.

Went here for the first time to see James Lastra perform his first professional gig.

This is a great venue for local artist to perform. It seats about 80 and they have enough room for about 40 additional SRO.

Most of the staff are performers themselves so they are ready to assist with your equipment set up.

The acoustics are great, the atmosphere has a very funky vibe to it.
They have a full service bar as well.
