Runaway Whiskey & Wine

Had an amazing experience on a Monday night with half priced espresso martini flights and our bartender, Patrick. It was our first time here, and we loved the vibe and fun seating. We were so impressed with the quality and amount of meat and cheese in the charcuterie—a rare Charlotte charcuterie board that’s actually worth the price. Most importantly, the 4 espresso martinis we had in our flight were amazing. One of us had a tree nut allergy, so Patrick made two of our espresso martinis without hazelnut. One was a creation of his own—a pineapple agave espresso martini with chocolate shavings—and this might be one of the best if not the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. Patrick was thoughtful, talented, and made it a great experience for us. Great Charlotte cocktails can be hard to find, and we found it here. We will be back—for Patrick to make us that pineapple agave espresso martini again! Thanks for an incredible experience! —Danielle and Allie

We came on Valentine's day to celebrate recent nuptials for my friends. Cocktails were fantastic (although took some time to arrive). Food was delicious. Service was great. For 3 of us, with 5 cocktails and 3 small plates, spent about $150. Great for a special occasion. The space is beautiful and intimate. Highly recommend for a special night out.

It's a really cool spot! It was such a nice place for drinks with friends or a date night. The inside is beautiful art deco, and the food is delicious. The deviled eggs are a must try. The drinks were strong and very tasty, with the Saint Charles being our tables favorite of the evening, it had a nice smokiness to it. The only thing we want to see is maybe a vegetarian dish and a gluten-free option as there were none. Our server, Jameson, was wonderful and attentive! Definitely recommend checking this spot out.

Stopped in with my date before our reservation at Restaurant Constance. Free parking lots all around this area. No stress of having to find parking! Jordan was our bartender. She was inviting right from the start! When you walk in the bar is absolutely gorgeous. You can tell someone put thought into the small details. The texture on the walls, seating, lighting, and chandeliers are all incredibly satisfying. We ordered a glass of wine and one of their craft cocktails. I asked for a glass of wine to pair with the tuna tartar and it was a perfect pairing. The cocktail went well with the small plate as well. They make everything in house from the syrups to the garnishes. Jordan took the time to explain all of the drinks she was making and what was inside them. She is incredibly personable, kind, and easy to talk to. All attributes to an incredible bartender. The tuna tartar was balanced, flavorful, fresh, and an awesome start to our night out. We can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! This is the perfect spot to have a romantic night out with your partner. Cocktails, wine, and elevated bar food. I will be back for more small plates and cocktails!

Yolanda with Offline - Love the decor and atmosphere. Salmon was cooked perfectly and very favorable. Calamari was good, Shaved Brussel sprout salad wish the dressing had more flavor. Great corn crab fritters. yuza tuna tartare was good but seem to be unfinished. I loved the presentation of all the food. I didn't do any cocktails but plan to return to try the rest of the menu with drinks. Service was excellent.

Cute restaurant. Great service. And really good food. Get the duck confit, the mushroom risotto on that plate is soooo good! I also enjoyed the calamari steak, the truffle fries, and the shaved Brussel salad (may need extra dressing). The espresso flight was also fun to try.

My girlfriends and I had an exceptional experience at Runway this past weekend. Firstly be aware that the entrance to this establishment is at the rear of the building. The signage was a bit confusing but once found it make sense.the inside was so posh and comfy. Patrick, our waiter was very nice and also provided the drinks. Everything was delicious and well thought out. I would highly recommend!

Stepping into this whiskey bar is like entering a bliss for enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The decor is out of a magazine. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the welcoming and passionate bartender, Patrick , who eagerly helps you explore the great cocktail menu and is ready to recommend something unique based on individual preferences. From knowledgeable recommendations to expertly balanced drinks, this bar consistently delivers a first-rate whiskey experience that keeps people coming back again and again. I recommend !
