Great atmosphere, music and food. This is my favorite date night spot in Charlotte so far. Nothing about Middle C jazz club disappoints. For anyone who hasn’t gone there needs to go. The best time to go is before doors open to have great seating. My third time going and already planning to go back
Intimate setting with a cool, laid back vibe.

Intimate setting with a cool, laid back vibe. Impeccable service from friendly, attentive staff. Classy cocktails, consistently tasty menu. I’ve tried the cheese dip more than once and the curry chicken. Great place to kick back and enjoy!
A wonderful place for date night.
