Stache House Bar & Lounge

A part of me feels guilty doing this review given that I only remember 65% to 70% of what happened that night. So just know I’m only going to review on what I actually remember, lol.
The bar:
Very quick and attentive
The Mood:
Very sophisticated sexy black and white all over with lots of low-​lighting, but I was a little turned off that a piece of broken furniture central to the entrance was fixed up using duck-​tape.
Bathroom:
So this goes along with what everyone else has complained about, they only have 1 toilet in the women’s restroom and the same for the men’s. Like, one person in, one person out. That’s ridiculous! We got there early, so we were all able to take care of all of our personal needs when it came time to, but as soon as it got packed in there, all bets were off. This could be a future deal breaker for me.
Overall:
Great music and decent Hooka, but the space was a bit tight and the bathroom situation could make for a very difficult evening. I’d like to go back and give it another go, but I live in TX and was only in Charlotte for a quick weekend trip. In the meantime I say if you give it a try get there early, but plan to leave before the crowd sets in.

Stache House is great if you’re looking for a lounge with club music. There’s a live DJ who keeps Hip Hop tunes spinning that span from the heyday of Bad Boy to your favorite song that just came out last week.
The hookah is strong. The bartenders are friendly, but BUSY. Sitting as the bar, I was impressed at how seamlessly they took orders, answered questions, opened and closed tabs, etc. These were REALLY efficient bar tenders. Can’t say how the drinks were, as I had a glass of wine. They gave generous pours and measured by eyeballing. Standard drinks, no fancy cocktails here.
It can be tough to get a seat, as it isn’t the largest venue, but there’s space to get from A to B. There was no cover and the crowd appeared to range from late college to mid 30s. Crowd was urban sophisticated. No sloppy drunks or standout ratchets. It’s loud, so don’t expect to have any real conversation. Only one restroom per sex, which resulted in a line and a security guard who regulated who went in the restroom. Smart move on behalf of management. Not enough room to dance. Come here to hangout, meet people, and two step.

It was aight. It’s 10 o clock and this bar got three tvs tuned to channel 14 news. Why am I watching weather on the ones

I was visiting Charlotte and decided to go on a Saturday night. It was pretty chill, but I believe the layout of the floor make it difficult to navigate the floor. The DJ played some pretty good music and the hookah choices were on point.
Overall, I’d recommend and would visit again when in town.

Draft beers: No
Pages missing in drink menu: yes
Full bar: yes
Signature cocktails: «we haven’t made those in a long time» let me scrounge up that missing page… so no, but we used to.
Craft beers: same selection as a gas station… +2.
Rating of staff:
Security; ¹⁰⁄₁₀ very professional and friendly.
Bartenders; ¹⁄₁₀ only because one is nice enough to deal with people on a regular basis (which I give him an ⁹⁄₁₀) while the other is scratching his stomach near his waistline under the shirt right before making your drink… As they literally throw a bevnap at you with an entitlement issue before giving you your beverage.(he didn’t wash his hands) hope all of you others didn’t order a mixed drink because the Patrón is kept chilled in the ice bin where all of the ice for your drinks comes from in which his nasty hands grasps the sides of and is placed right back where it came from.
Cleanliness: It’s not… Just look at the glass on the door walking in, or the floor behind the bar, or the shelves, anything for that matter.

Great music, hookahs, and atmosphere! I don’t believe they have drink specials which is a shame. Also, they need a working phone & a quick update on their hours listed online! The only way you know they’re open is to actually come and check for yourself. Other than that, awesome place to hang out on the weekends

I am here in town for Thanksgiving weekend and having a great time! Hookah… laid back, good music and nice atmosphere. I will be back

The place is cool and laid back. Reasonable drinks. But beware no waitstaff! So going to the bar for rounds and hookah is annoying and a buzz killer! Also beware of the security staff they can be extremely RUDE! I actually had to pull one to the side for being so rude! Not sure if I will return!

The service really needs to improve, i don’t think they understand the true meaning of great customer service. I don’t understand why they ask for ID on Thursday nights. Is it me or is just on nights where African Americans come in packs this practice is done.

I went to Stache Bar because of fellow Unilocalers talking about it. I must say I was not disappointed. True I went on a Sunday but I still had a great time. They had great music playing but I’m bias to good hip hop. The drink special was great $ 4 well drinks and their Well drinks are Bacardi, Crown. The staff has all been friendly and awesome. Sunday is also $ 10 Huka. That was a first for me. I had a great time and have friends going there. I love the atmosphere and mustache named drinks.

Happy hour is what made me go here which was awesome then it turned into a club scene which I didn’t mind either. Had a good night randomly here. Good bartenders and the hookah was good. I also like the location because parking was free.

I was so excited when stache house opened. I try to go to every hookah bar I can, when I travel its the first thing I look up. From the outside and from their website, stache house sounded awesome. In reality, stache is a bar that doesn’t know what it wants to be. Is it hip and bougeoir or relaxing or loud and clubby?
The service was nonexistent; the hookah was underpacked, had too much water and wasn’t even started up and they lost my boyfriend’s credit card.
My drink was awesome though.

We ended up here for a rainy semi-​girls night out. This place has potential but didn’t wow me for my first visit.
The atmosphere was nice. There were mustaches lining the walls and low lighting boosted by tea candles at each table. I like that this place clearly followed the theme of the bar and still managed to provide a nice ambiance. Even though the place is pretty small, there was a good mix of tables and booths and a decent sized bar. And let’s not forget the delicious smell of hookah in the air.
The best part of the night was the DJ. He kept a good mix of old school and new school blasting out and we were bopping our heads and singing all night. In my opinion, he was a huge win for this place!
Service was… non-​exsitent. Since the weather wasn’t great, they weren’t all that busy but somehow still managed to leave me underwhelmed with the service. I’d give them another try, maybe when it’s warmer.

When we first got there we loved the drinks and the décor of the bar. As the night went on our service was terrible.
They had a barback serving us even though it wasnt too busy. He didn’t know what he was doing and never came to check on us… we tracked him down for each drink we ordered. Then at the end of the night when we asked for our checks he swiped our cards before we could even see our tab. Then come to find out he mixed up all of our cards and charged us wrong amounts. When we questioned it we got an attitude from the other bartenders who had to help him. When we asked for an itemized receipt they told us we should have requested one from the beginning and it «would take forever» for them to find ours.
Also the womens bathroom was very dirty. The trashcan was overflowing onto the floor and there was what seemed to be pee on the floor along with toilet paper all over the place.
We are going to Crave next time…

Great little bar to grab a quick drink before going out… or even just after work.
I think you could run up quite the tab at this one if you decided to stay there long but the selections are great and the open air feel is fantastic. Riding the trend of mustaches was smart and the décor is cool.

Not sure how I feel about Stache House yet I need to check it out again but for my first experience it was a-​ok. The bar is very nice and I like the décor I just don’t know if this place fits into South End.
However if your looking for a nice place to grab a good drink and smoke a hookah then come check this place out and don’t forget to get a stache!

Not very impressed with this joint. This place reminds me of a club/​bar you would find in Uptown where being at the trendy place is more important than a well-​made drink and good service.
We walked in on St. Patrick’s day to find the place empty (it was during the day). We asked to see a cocktail list and were told there wasn’t one. Funny because when I sat down at a table lo and behold there was a cocktail menu sitting right there. Speaking of the table it was dirty… along with the sticky menu and the messy floor. To be honest It felt like the closer from the night before never cleaned-​up… the bar was unkempt, and downright dirty. Nothing about it made me feel like lounging that’s for sure.
We ordered over-​priced vodka sodas which I requested to be served with a twist-​of lime. Our bartender told us they didn’t have limes. The odd thing was I saw the same individual actually cutting limes less than 5 minutes later… was he that lazy or non-​accommodating that he couldn’t be bothered to grab a lime from the back and cut it up? Or did limes just magically happen to appear a mere five minutes after our drink was ordered? He looked like he was completely jacked up on steroids (even had the lime green muscle-​tee to match) so maybe he was on the verge of roid-​rage and cutting limes or grabbing a cocktail menu would have sent him over the edge. I suppose I should count myself lucky.
Ok, maybe that last part was uncalled for but I was really disappointed with Stashe House. I will say it was a beautiful day so I enjoyed the open seating. We didn’t stay to have another drink but I doubt the bartender cared very much as he didn’t ask us how the drinks were or even bother to ask if we wanted another one… or do much of anything actually. I sincerely hope South End doesn’t turn into the kind of place filled with bars like this…

I came here due to a Unilocal event. I was looking forward to trying out one of their 50% off speciality drinks. I mention to my friend something about mojitos and the bartender said she can make a mean ass mojitos. What can I say but SOLD… it’s mean ass alright. One step down from the mojitos of Catina 1511. I’m in love…
My friend ordered hookah thingie. 2^nd time trying it out. Still a little clumsy with it.
But overall it’s great. I ordered some food from Carrabba’s which is right next door and they deliver it to us right away. I’m love with their décor, can’t wait til the summer come when they can open their hugh garage like doors. Bartender is on point and definitely an eye candy. Customer service is great and she’s very knowledge with drinks. Definitely going back.

We went here for the first time right before the Super Bowl. The service was great and the place was fully staffed.
We are young, but the crowd wasn’t our favorite. Pretty sure we were moments away from a couple «Bro Down“s breaking out…
The Charlie Chaplin drink was really good and strong, though. We will definitely go back and see how this one plays out. Hoping for a drink menu next time.

Not only is the mustache a timeless fashion statement and overall badge of masculinity, but paired with the right cocktail as the overarching theme of the bar opens a new can of worms. Welcome, ‘Stache House, to the streets of Southend with your brilliant décor, fantastic cocktails, and wonderful window decals showcasing different mustache styles.
Had the pleasure of checking out this newbie for an event this week.
First, the design of the space is stachetacular. The layout of everything involving text is clean, fun, and bright. All of the dark, finished wood really gives it a «Hey! This feels like my old man’s den at home!» kind of vibe. Best part? Say hello to a brilliantly large print of a local mustachioed gentleman hanging above the overtly tall bench seats. Branding goes without question. You’ll never have to explain to a perplexed friend/​bar-​goer why it is indeed given the monicker of «Stache House.»
The concoctions are wonderful. All named after famous dudes with a stache. The Tom Selleck, The Charlie Chaplin, The Abrakadabra (homage to magicians everywhere), and others. The Charlie Chaplin is the perfect cocktail for me. Light, herby, not too sweet, with a generous pour of gin. Served in the craziest tumbler I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking from. Most of the time I’m swindled into drinking from a martini glass, but not with this bad boy. Brilliant touch with the lime wedge hoisting a fresh basil leaf above the surface of the beverage. $ 10 which is pretty competitive against the rest of the cocktail scene in town.
Big bonus for not only carrying great bottled brews, but also a lineup of NC draughts. The versatility of this joint goes a long way for multiple crowds. Should you find yourself amongst friends who care for a cocktail, and you happen to not be the type, your haven may rest in a tall pint of the varietals from Highland, Duck Rabbit, etc. Hopefully some Charlotte brews popping up soon as well.
Whether stumbling in with a group of buds or sitting next to a stranger, a mustache is always a wonderful icebreaker. I look forward to coming back for a few more Chaplins and resting beneath the glorious stache print once more. Cheers!
