The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

Great view of Charlotte. Food was excellent. Nachos were a killer as was shrimp appetizer. 18 oz ribeye was fabulous. Duck was not crisp but tasted good. Waguy rib was super. Brussel sprouts were not crispy as listed. Blueberry dessert was the bomb as was Japanese dish. Strawberry key lime brulee was superb. Waiter was knowledgeable and the whole team did super. We really enjoyed our evening in Charlotte. Very nice community to visit. Clean, friendly and awesome uptown experience. Ms. Janet

I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.
