Bo’s on NoDa — Restaurant in Charlotte

This spot was rebranded from Halo, which opened in early-mid 2024, and it's still just as awful. It's now apparently supposed to give off island vibes, but the concept is executed poorly. There are a few "tiki," surfer, castaway-type decorations, but that's about it. The bartenders are sparse, and the ones that are present could use some actual bartending lessons because the drinks leave a lot to be desired. Also, drink prices are all over the place.

Well, I was very confused as to why I had to go to the bar for my drinks. No food was served and only food trucks outside. And we use to be able to get Hookah but now you have to have it outside with no TV to watch while the game is on. Yet, they had dogs in there, and im very much allergic and they had beautiful babies in there as well. The one drink I got was a frozen piña colada and it wasnt frozen and very much watered down. Its just an awesome place with potential with so much of an inconvenience. Sucks, and...
