Shh, Supperland has a secret. It’s been hiding a speakeasy.
The cozy 10-seat bar is tucked away in the basement of Supperland owners Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown’s smaller building, which features the restaurant’s floral-wallpapered bar.
Down a narrow stairwell from that main bar, the speakeasy hosts a “spirit experience” with coursed bourbon cocktails and small bite pairings. Head mixologist Colleen Hughes created the drinks; Supperland executive chef Chris Rogienski crafted the food.
“We really wanted to do something unique in the cocktail scene for Charlotte,” Tonidandel told CharlotteFive back in September when we first reported the news. “We have an incredible bar team, led by Colleen Hughes, and creating a space that allows our skills to shine has always been part of the vision here at Supperland.”
WHAT TO KNOW:
• The 10-seat speakeasy experience is available by reservation only.
• The Supperland team recommends planning to eat something before or afterward, as the experience does not include a full meal.
• Your spirit experience will last about two hours. It costs $169 per person.
