A large group of us were looking for a location to celebrate a friend’s birthday after much Google searching we found Encore. We saw it was a new location with a great layout and pictures looked great. We called to let them know we would be coming. We slowly started to arrive at 9:00pm by 10pm we had 50 people with us and some still coming. We started off in their smaller bar XOXO which is absolutely beautiful the decor was amazing and drinks we made to perfection. We noticed the waitress/ bottle girls were dressed in all white and looked stunning. They let us know that they had a private event at 10:15 to at 10pm they would walk us into the Club side. We all drank and chatted as we waited and they walked us in to a large vip lounge area. Mind you this was all last minute! They were so sweet they brought out our bottles, we had a beautiful young lady and maybe her twin helping us all night. We didn’t find coat check so we stacked our coats but worked great so we could go out back and smoke and not be cold. Now for the location it’s self. It’s set up perfectly clear entry and exit points. Bars always accessible and you don’t wait forever to get drinks like many other locations. The bathrooms are clean and they have attendants in them. You may catch a small line but goes fast. The dress code is strict and I like that because people have to put effort into their attire. The crowd is mixed I mean a true melting pot of people and ages it’s great! The security and safety were all so polite and dressed nicely. We went early to avoid the long lines to get in that’s why we went to xoxo bar which worked great. Our VIP section was large and worth every penny. Since it does get crowded I would suggest getting a group together and just getting a VIP area. The DJ was awesome he played some good mixes for the night I do believe it was more edm style that night. Some people were saying that the drinks are pricey they can be $12-$18 maybe more depending on what you get. This is a high end nightclub you can see that by entering and the quality of clients. Our group had a great night we will definitely be there again and we will recommend for others. The only suggestion I would have is don’t allow glass cups from XOXO bar we did drop one and felt so bad. I would also recommend cups with tops the floors will thank you I wore about 3/4 drinks from people dancing and walking past I don’t care because I dance so much it’s dries fast but for the damage it will do over time to the flooring and it’s super sticky when walking. Thank you for having us and the great experience.

I wanted to go to a nightclub for my birthday since it had been a while and stumbled upon this new club that's located off College St. In uptown. I decided to get a table as I heard and read reviews from other people that it does get crowded, so to be more comfortable, a table would be a better option. I'm so glad I did! First off, we arrived a little before 11 p.m., and there was no line outside. The outside does have some palm trees, which gives it a Miami feel to it. We walked up to the "host" stand, Gabe them my info, and let them know we had a table. She was super sweet and nice. Our table was right in the center and across from the DJ booth, which I loved because we were able yo see the whole club from our location and be in the middle of everything. The table was super spacious, and I loved how the club was decorated. Lights everywhere and sometimes when they would play a song, the music videos would be playing all around the club, which I thought was cool. Our bottle girl was super nice and attentive, and she made sure I had a blast and took care of every detail. Towards the end of the night, though, it did get super busy, so we lost her for a while, but it wasn't a big deal. Now, this club does have a small dance floor that gets extremely packed, so I do recommend that if you want to have your space and be comfortable, a table is the way to do it. They offer table service on the dance floor also. There is a parking garage right beside the club, so you don't have to park far and some on the street if you find a spot. Now this is a more EDM, hip pop, pop club so if it isn't your taste in music you probably would not enjoy it. I definitely will be back for sure.

Visited 3 times. Here’s the details. Depending on the side you walk in, you’ll either be greeted in the club side or the lounge side. Both have great vibes depending on what you’re looking for. Lounge has hookah’s, a side bar, individual tables and separate house DJ. The club side has an impressive amount of VIP space for tables close to the dance floor and further secluded. Additionally the club side has a great lighting set up similar to Hive but not nearly as bright inside(for the better). The music all 3 nights were mostly consistently upbeat house music in the lounge area as well as occasionally some rap mixed in. The club area music ranged from electric house, trance, deep, some rap, lot of range in the mixes. Generally as long as the mix isn’t too heavy in the head banging , harder bass-dropping house music, the crowd can dance to it. Overall, I think it’s a blast. If you’re familiar with Charlotte, It’s basically Lost and Found meets Hive. Good music and plenty of space. Only thing I would mention, There is 20% tip already included in the price. I’ve been several times and that’s not been disclosed once. It can be pricy but it’s a fun time.

Front door people will get money from you even if you were part of a private party they'll still tell you to pay and they won't tell you there's multiple entrances for different guests. They won't refund you either. Glad it wasn't my party there, I definitely would never pay that much for the product that was given. Good vibe but not what you paid for. Our bottle girl was very nice! But drinks went empty fast and not poured again for awhile. Nice but slow. And the tips are included but they expect more at the end. Also front door let me in then on my way in from the smoking section I was told I cant bring in the Birthday gift I brought. So idk take what you will.

The worst night experience you can ever have in terms of service and staff. There was violence in the club between guest and staff members. And the night came to an end after which the bouncers were manhandling all the guests to get out. Without any respect and my female friend was pushed over as well where she fell and hurt herself when I came in middle he started swinging at me. The bouncer was a black guy and had dreads. I also had to reach out to cops in regards with this and the bouncer still had no guilt and regret we have filled a complaint and we regret going to this place. I do have the complainant number as well to prove and show. Go ahead and check your security cams at 2:15 am at your exit.

Honestly just go somewhere else you can’t really enjoy your time unless you have a section also they scammed me out of 470 dollars when the told me my bottle was 200 and 262 after tax the bottles girls played in my face the whole time kept our id and card at the end of the night they finally decided to mention there was a 450 dollar minimum for that night when she had plenty of opportunities to tell me that the money was never the issue it was just the principle will definitely go somewhere else when I come back to visit

I had the most wonderful experience booking VIP with Brittany LaShae. The atmosphere and VIP service is fantastic. The staff puts customers and clients first. Brittany’s VIP management ensures only the best experience for all the patrons and customers!!! Encore is so much fun, and Brittany is the best person to help you plan a celebratory night or just a fun night out !!! Can’t wait for my next VIP experience at Encore. Thank you Brittany !

I went to go see Disco Lines on 3/3, this was my first time at this venue. It was WAY too packed, standing on top of people, and constantly getting ran into and almost knocked over. It was very unprofessional to sell so many tickets to a venue that will not hold the capacity. My friend ended up passing out and smacking his head because it was 90 degrees and had to leave immediately. Never will I ever go back to Encore.

Every purchase quietly adds a 20% gratuity charge. Confusing entrance that has separate lines for VIP, tables, and GA which all lead to the same area. Even going to the bathroom requires you to push through the crowd. Literal fire hazard. I could not enjoy the music from a major DJ that I love. Please send a fire marshall here before Charlotte has their own Station nightclub type incident.

There’s nowhere to sit, they make you pay for all seating. Staff was very rude to our group, we got dirty stares for dancing (normally, on the bar floor, to dance music). It’s literally a strip club, should be advertised as such. Also if they register your phone number (mandatory), they harass you with texts until you block them. I DO NOT recommend for women who want to have a fun night.

I went 2 weeks ago with my friends. We’re sitting in the lounge bar & got charged $18 for a drink when it says only $13. I asked the bartender why I got charge more & he said it’s for tax & tips. But I saw the bottom check they charged tax & $10 tips for 3 drinks when I already gave the bartender cash tips. Be careful when you order drinks. Check what you’re paying for!

Waited 30 min in line just to be told I couldnt get in for wearing shorts....their website and social media doesnt mention any dress code. It's unconsistent some people w tennis shoes get in others dont. Also, they need to hire more people to check the ids because the line is sooo long to get in. They have like 2 people trying to handle a line of 100 people.

Encore XOXO is a blast. Every time me & my colleagues enter this venue we’re greeted by their excellent staff & treated to the best hospitality in CLT. Brittany is awesome & always so helpful. I recommend Encore to all my friends for these reasons & so much more. Encore has quickly turned into my favorite venue since it’s grand opening.

So much fun at Encore! Encore, Hive, and QC are right next to each other!! I definitely recommend VIP with Bottle Service once you decide which club is more your vibe. I loved the DJ at Encore. XOXO is a part of Encore but much smaller, more of a lounge. Pay for parking. Great night full of fun!

Great experience! I love the set up of the club, the light show and the DJ was on point. There’s a cocktail lounge called XO on the other side as well. The servers were super friendly and the drinks were to die for! Would definitely recommend for everyone to visit this new gem!

Last Sunday was my first time and it felt like Hollywood when we stepped in front of the club. The XOXO bar lounge in the back is nice setting from the club. Brittany and staff was the bomb. Good vibe and dj was awesome. Had a blast. Can't wait to go back

10/10 experience! As somebody who goes out a lot in Charlotte I can tell you this is the SPOT! The atmosphere is unmatched! You can tell they took their time and didn’t cut corners, if you’re looking for a spot to check out this is definitely it!

This club is exactly what Charlotte needed! A big, beautiful Miami-like club with plenty of large booths to accommodate big VIP groups. The space and staff were so inviting and the drinks came out fast. Will be back :)

I will definitely be back! I received more of LA vibes than Miami. It was really nice in here. The bathroom service topped the charts for me. The music was also great. They played a nice variety. I have no complaints.

One of if not the best nightclub in town! Vibe is unmatched, the aesthetic makes you feel like you are not even in Charlotte! Custom VIP packages, Great prices and amazing music.. 10/10 recommend.

I love it here!! Rhaven & Kayla are the BEST bartenders! They’re fast, the drinks are good, and always greet you with a great personality/smile. I will definitely be back!!

Great staff, people, and music. A must-see place to be. The design and effects is nothing Charlotte has seen. We plan on hosting our company events here too!

I love the atmosphere of the club!! The music was amazing and the bartenders treated me the best. My bartender was RHAVANN! Ask for her at the bar for sure

Asha was so kind to me and my out of town friends definitely will be back and will ask for her !

Best service I’ve ever received. Rhavann was so sweet and so fast! I love her! The club is beautiful! Will be back to see my new favorite bartender!

Beautifully designed club that makes you feel like you’re not in Charlotte anymore. Big sections to accommodate larger parties. All the DJ’s kill it

Horrible place. When I was leaving a bouncer asked me, to my face, if I was dumb. I would advise for anyone with pride to stay away from this club.

Encore is Charlotte’s newest, sexiest, club and the place to be! The atmosphere, music and staff are amazing, it’s my favorite weekend spot.

Encore has quickly become my favorite club in Charlotte! The bartender Rhavann is super friendly and attentive! Can’t wait to be back!

Marley was an absolute angel! Very attentive, kind and friendly. Would absolutely come back and request her again. Thanks Marley!

Brittany helped me book a section for my friends birthday! She was so wonderful, 10/10 recommend this place! Text her for VIP.

Very nice club. State of the art sound and visual displays. Usually people dancing somewhere in here because of the good djs.

this place just opened, excellent bottle service, dj and much more! next to hive and qc social. cant wait to go back!

One of the workers told me to move to the side of bar, even though I wasn’t blocking anyone’s view …

If you’re looking for a place to dance then this is the place to be. Makes you feel like you’re in Vegas.

Both Encore and XOXO are such beautiful establishments with great musics and unforgettable vibes!

$20 cover for everyone unlike the website says. Music could have used more variation.

Last night was a movie. Total Miami vibe, The vibes were bestie, New charlotte spot

Marley was so attentive and sweet! We will request her again for our next table.

Super fun place with great drinks, it's a little crowded and the line was long.

Brittany LaShae always giving us life with her hospitality. Perfect experience

Awesome night club. Lighting and sound are amazing. Staff is super friendly!

Amazing club… all the right people and the best vibes in the Queen City

Vegas Style nightclub, easily the best spot to go out in Charlotte!

Love this place, great spot for a VIP bday experience too!

$20 bucks for entry fee, and it’s dead inside. No thanks

Great place , we all had a great time

Charlotte needed a place like this!

10/10 - great addition to uptown!

Spacious and great atmosphere!

Great space and good time

Fun
