The Cotton Room sits upstairs at Belfast Mill in Charlotte's Third Ward, occupying a historic space once used to store cotton from local farmers. Original exposed brick, wooden beams, and period details create an intimate speakeasy atmosphere. The bar specializes in handcrafted cocktails featuring local ingredients and premium whiskeys, including over fifty Irish whiskeys on draft. Known for creative drinks like the flaming Campfire Old Fashioned, The Cotton Room blends historical authenticity with modern mixology, serving as both a neighborhood cocktail destination and an event venue for private gatherings.
