Antagonist is a Charlotte Cocktail Bar That Locks Your Phone Away

Antagonist is a new cocktail bar based in Charlotte that encourages conversation and connection by locking your phone away for two hours. It is a 1,100-square-foot space that seats under 50 people, complete with wraparound booths, two-tops, and a floor-to-ceiling bar for six. Antagonist has five classic cocktails named after iconic antagonists, from Regina George to Patrick Bateman, and a dedicated snack menu complete with ice cream, candy, and more. At the end of the evening, guests are invited to write down their favorite antagonist in the checkbook.

Guests lock their phones in Yondr pouches, which are kept on hand, for two hours. The host unlocks the phone after your experience is complete, so guests are forced to entertain themsleves with conversation or some of the classic board and card games on the surrounding shelves.

Interested consumers can visit Antagonist at 025 Cleveland Ave Suite 300, Charlotte, NC.
