Ryan Horne+FollowCharlotte’s best-kept dining secret revealedBeneath the busy streets of uptown Charlotte, The Cellar at Duckworth’s delivers an experience locals fiercely protect. The 1920s speakeasy vibe hits you the moment you descend the stairs—think exposed brick, dim lighting, and just 77 seats for a truly intimate feel. The menu? It’s comfort food with a chef’s twist: char-grilled oysters that convert skeptics, truffle mac and cheese that ruins all others, and a build-your-own charcuterie board with top-tier local ingredients. Add rare beers, show-stopping cocktails, and service that makes you feel like family, and it’s easy to see why regulars want to keep this gem all to themselves.
