About Sneak CLT
Palm-leaf wallpaper, a low-lit back bar and a lounge corner with a velvet sofa give this East 7th Street room a compact, clubby feel. The size is the point, according to regulars: fewer seats mean bartenders can talk through each drink, explain why an ingredient is there and adjust to taste. The seasonal list features riffs such as a reworked lemon drop and a carrot margarita, with wine and canned options too, and a bowl of complimentary kettle corn arrives with the first round. A concealed restroom door is its own talking point. The soundtrack gets praise, and live performances appear on the calendar. Hours run from five until midnight Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday and until two Thursday to Saturday, the busiest nights; it is closed Monday. Expect $10–50 a head. It holds 4.7 stars from 150 Google reviews and appears on Yelp's 2026 list of Charlotte's top cocktail bars.
