Stumptown Station — Restaurant in Matthews

The atmosphere was ok, albeit a bit loud for my taste in a specialty cocktail bar of this kind, though I didn't knock the place for that because that's more to do with my expectations than a fault of the location. The upstairs area was nice, although a bit cramped, and did offer chairs and a couch that were comfortable. I was slightly disappointed with their specialty Old Fashioned. It wasn't bad, but when a bar like this boasts a custom take on a classic I expect a bit more pop than I got. My companion had a cinnamon and whiskey cocktail that I thought was better than mine and quite good, but not to the level of blowing me away. Overall not a bad experience by any stretch, but wouldn't be my first choice if I'm looking to spend an evening mingling or chatting over...

Love Stumptown Station!! My favorite place to go in downtown Matthews! Not only do they have the best cocktails in Charlotte but the best owners and bartenders as well! Genuinely feels like I’m hanging out with family every time I’m around. I feel safe and comfortable going by myself or with friends. Ladies, I promise you will be taken care of if there are any problematic people (which is very rare!). There are so many events (from trivia, comedy shows, tastings, and live music every weekend!!) An awesome spot for any occasion and great place to make new friends! A home away from home for friends and myself!! Love...

I’m conflicted on this review, so I’ll try to explain. This is my local bar, it has a decent atmosphere, it’s a smaller location, so can become very loud when live music is played.

If you want a speciality cocktail it’s not a bad spot, old fashioned is around $15. My biggest complaint with Stumptown is the price for a beer. Miller Lite draft is $6.50 and Yuengling is $7. So as an FYI this is not the place to go for some beers, as it’ll be very costly!! Real shame as this used to be the spot for me and my neighbors to grab some beers...
