About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
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 food, great service. Very crowded and very loud, to be clear...it.is a bar and a bar atmosphere. If you're NOT there for any type of business dinner it's perfect. However, if you're hoping to conduct any business, choose another option. Overall, fantastic place and would certainly recommend for an outing with friends and family!

    Me and my girlfriend came here for our anniversary, and when I say it was an amazing atmosphere, I mean it. Our waiter Corey is definitely one of the best waiters we’ve ever had. He was patient, had great humor, and provided us with some recommendations throughout the night. All the food we had was amazing, I highly recommend their dumplings, brussels sprouts and NY Strip. If you like an old fashioned vibe, with amazing food I highly suggest you give the Cellar a try.

    15 minutes late for a business meeting after I called and told the hostess i would be 15 minutes late. Refused to seat us at the table we reserved and at the bar instead. Real nice for a business meal By the way the table went unused the entire time we were there. What a DB!

    Love The Cellar! I love the history of it being a speakeasy and they have renovated it in a way that it still has a fun, laid back feel with jazz music playing in the background. This was my 3rd time eating at The Cellar and as always the service and food was excellent!

    I mean, it’s the Cellar at Duckworth’s. There’s not much more to say. If you know it, you know it. It’s a place that is really memorable to locals. And I don’t mean that in the sense that it’s just where the locals eat and it’s usually hidden away in a shopping center somewhere. It’s truly fine dining and a great atmosphere for people who just want a nice relaxing night out with friends, a spouse, or a date. But most tourists and visitors don’t know about it, which is great because you can still get a reservation that way. Eating at the Cellar is a no-brainer.  For what to eat, everything on the menu is good especially the steaks. As for cocktails, the best old-fashioned in Charlotte lives here.

    The location under Duckworths was fun! The service was excellent and professional. The food was great. Few establishments will prepare a scallop to perfection. This is one! A very strong shoutout to the cocktail program. Bravo! A bar for grownups! Our only negatives? A smidge loud - it was a bit difficult hearing our server- perhaps thats what you get in a bricked cellar? Already plotting our return!
