Poplar Tapas Wine & Spirits

We had reservations two weeks in advance and paid a fair amount for the Uber to the restaurant’s location. But when we arrived, the restaurant had been rented out for an event. So they sat us in the corner of the bar at a table meant for drinks only. Without anywhere to go, we decided to stay. The rowdy party kept elbowing us and we waited for a long time for someone to wait on us, and no one came. Not a great start to our date night. After the crowd dissipated, we moved to the bar, and the service improved. We ordered several dishes, some fantastic, but all above average! I would come here again, but would call to make the reservation to ensure they haven’t rented the place out.

The location and ambiance is fantastic. Food is boring for an upscale location. They could do way better. Our server was FANTASTIC

This was our first visit to Poplar Tapas Wine & Spirits tonight! It was located in a quaint neighborhood in Charlotte. It had street parking, which we didn't have any trouble finding a spot. It had great outdoor seating with live music starting around 7 pm. The staff was very friendly and took exceptional care of us. The inside is very charming and the food was outstanding! Love that they did not over feed you.... the plates were just the right size portions. Would definitely highly recommend this place for dinner! We will be back for sure!

Excellent local restaurant! Food and drinks are always amazing and the atmosphere is super relaxed, one of our favorite places for a date night! Check out their monthly event night!! Went recently for their Argentina night with some excellent salsa dancers and themed food with wine pairings! Highly recommended!

Such a hidden gem in the fourth ward. Love the outdoor patio (though there’s not much shade during the late afternoon as summer sets in). The inside is wonderful — the bar is to the left after you walk in and has a great ambiance for grabbing a drink and unwinding. The dining space feels like you are in someone’s home, a great atmosphere for catching up with friends. Street parking is usually easy to find and there are meters on Church, which is only a two block walk. Just make sure you read all the posted signed! The arugula salad is delicious as is the avocado appetizer is nice, too. Definitely worth visiting.

Very lovely spot for couples and small groups of friends! Great drinks and the charcuterie was spectacular!

Booked on an off chance. Such a good place. Really friendly staff. Generous portion sizes, super tasty food. Pork belly was really good. Will be back whenever I'm in Charlotte. Dietary restrictions: Loads of gluten free options without needing to ask.
