• Gastro Pub • Uptown

The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

Our meal was outstanding as was our server, Jesse, was a lovely gal and extremely helpful with menu choices. We were visiting Charlotte for a wedding and will be sure to go back should we end up near Charlotte again. It's the best meal we've had at a restaurant in a while.
