The Conspiracy

About The Conspiracy

The Conspiracy names bite flights on its website, along with glazed turkey meatballs and a cocktail called the Seven Caves Sour. It describes itself as a speakeasy in Uptown Charlotte. It serves beer, wine and craft cocktails next to a short menu of light bites.

Planning a night at The Conspiracy

Plan around drinks and small plates, not a full dinner. The bar says its food menu is built on light bites. A group that wants a proper meal should eat first.

Bite flights are the item to ask about if you want a shared spread for the table. The bar opens at 4 PM and closes at midnight. Its website states Tuesday through Saturday, while other posted hours give Monday through Friday, so confirm the night before you set a date.

The company behind it is Northwood Ravin, a firm in the apartment business. It says it ran bars only for its own residents before opening this one to the public. Its website has a contact form for questions.

Getting your guests through The Conspiracy's hidden door

The Conspiracy describes its entrance as disguised to look like a plain storefront, with the bar itself below. Guests arriving for the first time may not spot it from the street.

Charlotte averages 61.4°F, with a mean high of 72.2°F and a mean low of 50.6°F, per NOAA normals for 1991 to 2020. The same normals give 43.7 inches of precipitation and 3.5 inches of snow a year.

Before you send invitations, ask the bar how first-time visitors should find the door, and pass that on so nobody walks past it.
