    I love this bar. It's basically walking into your living room, with a drink in your hand and chilling out. All the bartenders want to get to know you and treat you like a part of the family. It's my home away from home and the place I go when I need a break from the outside world.

    Certainly a different and darker vibe than some of the other bars in NODA. A more manageable crowd. Great spot to open a tab at if you are seeing a show next door

    Last night we walked in and it took us about 5 steps to get to the bar and sit down. Once we were there the bartender refused to serve us because we didn't have masks even though we were already sitting at the bar. The way he spoke to us was very rude. We went across the street and bought drinks and food there where they treat their customers with respect.

    With 11 tv's its a great place to watch sports, grab a drink, and a bite to eat. It's Boudreaux's sidekick bar and its got the great dive bar feel with all the locals swinging through. If you want the more quiet relaxed feel go next door to Boudreaux's

    One of the few places in Noda that's open past 12am. Thank you! Bartender was nice. Came during the week, was kinda slow but nice atmosphere.

    One of my favorite places to go after work or before/after a show at Neighborhood Theatre. Dive bar atmosphere fantastic bartenders, and food from next door if you're hungry!

    A friend of mine was telling me about this place and how wonderful it was. They were also saying that they had specials on drinks. my friend and I decided to go and we were totally disappointed by the way the place looked inside and the staff. Turns out $2 drinks are well drinks which was not disclosed until after we ordered our drinks and drank them. This place could definitely use a makeover.

    Went there with my friends this weekend. Very rude worker (bartender with blue hair), place isn’t the most upkept for an “upscale” spot. Definitely won’t be returning or sending any business there. I didnt even get to try food and I barely enjoyed my drink I bought from them because I just wanted to leave because of the distasteful service. Not even about masks, which I could understand but just even the way the girl talked to my friend was unacceptable from an employee.

    when going in to drink at this bar one day, I was taken outside and accused of stealing money off of the bar the previous time that I was there, which did not happen. I was told that there was video footage of me and after asking to see it multiple times, I was told that I would not be able to see it. Additionally, there is a lot of sketchy stuff that goes on in this bar and one of the bartenders is extremely creepy and makes me severely uncomfortable. Their food is also bland and tasteless most of the time. Go to a different bar, you won’t regret it!

    Another one of Charlottes best dive bars. Not pretentious, laid back, you get what you get and no frills. Love it

    They food and service is amazing.... I highly recommend this place to everybody

  • 5/5 Charlotte C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an awesome destination bar for people coming to Noda. It's also My favorite neighborhood watering hole. It's really Punk rock eclectic decoratiand reminds me of being in New Orleans. I love it but more than that I love the people that work there and attend. New Year's Eve was the Absolute best as there was lots of celebration ringing in the New Year and love flowing through All of Sanctuary. I definitely think of it as a sanctuary for myself Along with pineapple and vodka🍹🥂CHEERS 🍻

    Literally the best food I've ever had! You can taste all the love, experience and passion that goes into everything.The owners are so incredible and kind too and I'm so overall grateful for this amazing place!

    Wings are always good, bartenders are just nice enough, and the drinks are consistently on point. No complaints

  • 5/5 Todd T. 5 years ago on Google
    My wife and I are new in town and to the neighborhood. The neighborhood is 100% better simply because the awesome dive bar exists. In addition to great service and a warm and friendly clientele, it is also a great spot for late night food.

👍 This was our first time at Caroline's Oyster bar and to be honest it underwhelmed. Now does this mean it was a horrible dining experience? Of course not. We gave it 4 stars! The Charlotte area is craving a good Oyster bar and sadly Caroline's has missed the mark. Will they do well? Yes, they will...
