The Auto Pour — Restaurant in Charlotte

We were here on a Sunday afternoon for a private birthday event. And the experience was nothing short of top-notch. The space is large and organized very well with stations of wine separated by dryness. Each cylindrical station has a number of wines with the label as well as a printed description of the flavors. Typically you would set up a tab and receive your own card to track your self pours. The pours were available in 3 different sizes depending on your tasting needs. Our hosts were paying for everything so we were free to taste. There was also a DJ and a private caterer.

The staff did a great job of cleaning throughout the event without ever seeming in the way or as if they were hovering. In fact, for the most part, I barely noticed they were there. But dirty glasses and empty plates magically disappeared.

I tasted a few bottles of wine. While I am no wine connoisseur, everything I tasted was really good. Overall, it was a fantastic event. I would definitely come back and visit again.

Pro-tip: There is a really nice outdoor patio to enjoy when the temperatures are...

The Auto Pour is a amateur sommelier's dream come true! This little wine shop allows you to try varies of wines from sweet-dry red, white and all other wines you can imagine. You place your card on file, receive a card to insert into the machine and BOOM it pours your selected wine at 3 of the sizes they have available. Auto Pour does have the full bottle available for purchase as well. Prices do vary drastically but you can find some good inexpensive wines. Beer is offered here, too. The couple running the show was absolutely sweet, knowledge and extremely helpful throughout our entire visit. The location isn't necessarily ideal but the exterior and interior design will make you feel like you're uptown or down Park Road. You're able to bring food due to the fact they do not serve any here but you are in a good location to pick up a bite and bring it in. This place makes great for a date day, a day out with the friends or a nice gathering for your wine and beer drinkers. Overall, I'll surely be back to...

I recently visited Auto Pour and, unfortunately, had a disappointing experience. We’ve been here many times before to relax and play games with friends and have always enjoyed it, but this visit was completely different. The listed closing time on their website was [time], but they closed two hours earlier without any prior notice. To make matters worse, the staff announced last call 75 minutes before closing and behaved rudely throughout. They collected glassware while we were still drinking and even made comments like “you better share or drink fast,” which was incredibly unprofessional and made us feel rushed and unwelcome.

We had high hopes for enjoying another great visit but left feeling frustrated and disappointed. It’s understandable if hours need to change, but accurate information and respectful customer service should be a priority. I hope management addresses these issues so Auto Pour can return to being the enjoyable spot...
