One of my favorite music venues in Charlotte. It may be tiny but the experiences you have in this place are much bigger. Everything from the laid back atmosphere to the people, this place is where you need to go to experience live music.

First time there but always wanted to go....very impressed for a venue of that size hosting a Grammy winning artist and pulling it off like it was a private party and I made the guest list!Parking in the deck across the street gave us ample access to all of NODA night life.Great new restaurants near the muse too compliment a solid night out and the light rail station a short walking distance from the door is another plus for folks stopping in for the scene as well.I wanna say how nice the local IPA menu in the Muse was.... also a pleasant plus to make a good night out memorable.

This is a fun little live house with a stage, rows of folding chairs, and a bar. The staff were down to earth and approachable. I caught an open mic night with a WIDE variety of “entertainment, from acoustic guitar acts, to spoken word poetry, to stand up comedy, to primal screaming. It’s an interesting place full of interesting characters.

One of the best venues Ive ever been to. The staff is incredible, the acts are all killer. Truly a wonderful place.

An awesome hole in the wall. Its tiny and rustic. Just the place if you cant do crowds. Great live music lineup. Not sure how such a small place pulls it off but I cant stop going.

Wonderful listening room for live music. Acoustics are fantastic. A little cramped in the chairs, but one of our best venues.

This is a great live music venue! The staff is very friendly. The sound system is great! I would recommend this place to everyone.

Great sound... great place to see a show

I love the size of this place. Great place to hear music.

A great venue for live music in a close up intimate setting. Often 2 shows a night featuring different bands.

Great place for music lovers. Their open mic on Monday nights is legendary, and the performers are consistently good here!

Simple: The most important music venue in the city. The starting place for many young artist and an advocate for the music community. Great sound, great talent, great service!

Great place to see a show. A smaller venue. Do you want to see a show or maybe see some live music this is the place. I bet you can find some really cool band that float on through this place. It is located in a corner building and the place can be packed on the inside and it looks like lot of fun!!!

We had such a great time here. People were very present. The band was awesome. The art o. The wall was a center of our conversation for about 2 hours. Loved it and highly suggest trying it out.

Went to see the barefoot movement and had a great night. They have great bands in neighborhood bar venue.

#corywellsartist and #kaskasunmusic were amazing!

Great spot! Enjoy myself everytime I am there.

Nice little venue. It was my first time visiting North Carolina and I got to see OBL (One Big Love) perform.

Cool little spot, bartenders were on point the whole night. Music was ok, but super noisy for the size of the space. Kinda ruined the music for me.

Cool place for an intimate gathering. Nice vibe and sound. Slow process at the door, having to register for a membership and all, but enjoyed it overall.

Great drinks and great sounds! The Evening Muse is a cozy spot to listen to live music. It showcases local and touring bands. The vibe of the space is great. You have to pay membership fee but its like 1 Dollar.

Man what a nightMusic was awesome but bartenders messed up....Go if you dont mind leaving 35 ‘minutes after wanting to close your tab other wise go enjoy rude serviceWould leave a -5 stars if i couldNot to mention it happened to all my friends, we where a group of +20

Intimate venue where performers are front and center.

Best small venue in the city. Superb environment for live performance.

Cool music venue and great for a date night. Laid back atmosphere...feels like you are in Brooklyn. Everyone is so nice, music quality is awesome and great drink selection. It is a gem!

Evening muse is an awesome place Ive seen several bands here... decent price drinks always good show If Youve never been here definitely stop in and check it out its a great place

Fun time seeing the phenomenal Jill Andrews!

Despite the music this particular night not really being my cup of tea, I was won over about halfway through. This venue is intimate, which adds so much to the experience. The bartender was funny and friendly, which also added to my happiness. I cant wait to go back!

Great intimate setting to see some local and national talent. In the heart of Noda, plenty to do before and after a performance.

Every time that Ive been here the show has been excellent. Couple that with a great whiskey selection and youve got my vote. Excellent place to spend a night.

A tiny place that puts on a good show!

Cool Joint. Underappreciated in the 704

Great little venue for some up close and personal time with whatever band you are going to check out. Great selection of beverages as well.

I did a comedy bit on open Mic night and loved the atmosphere.

Great brick and mortar venue. Very intimate setting. The acoustics in there are great.

First time here for open mic. Everything was so nice. Multiple seats and drinks average $8. Super glad i came and Ill be back. Mixed crowd of races and ages. Friendly staff and bar tender.

TOSCO Open Mike night. Wonderful

Great music venue!!! It’s an intimate space, great acoustics, wonderful owners and staff!! I’ve seen REALLY GOOD musicians perform and a wide range of genres.....whoever books the talent is obviously a music lover! I’ve also been to open mic night a few times. It’s awesome: welcoming, friendly, warm and a wonderful place for people to do their thing. It also has a full bar and good selection of beer! If you haven’t been, go!! Great place!!

This is a spare live music place with plenty of booze, in the heart of Charlottes puny arts district. It has great potential, but at the same time seems on the edge of collapse. It is quaintly southern, in that to sell booze, it has to call itself a club and charges a buck to become a member for a year. The cover for the live band was just $4 more. Classic bible belt hypocrisy. If youre a regular person, you cant drink. If youre a member, you can guzzle yourself silly. The strangest thing was all the chairs were piled up and chained to the wall. No tables, but then again, no food, not even a bag of crisps to wash down with the local brews.The music set went 2hrs without a break-- and nowhere to sit! It was way too loud for my ears. I put in my earplugs, but still my ears hurt, and my body was pummeled with the bass. Not fun, though the band was great. Id be afraid to go back again, because it was such a punishing experience. That night there were only 5-6 patrons (Wednesday night). I asked for a non-alcoholic beer, but, of course, they had none. But the bartender gave me a tonic water on the house, to make up for it. I guess its right for some, because its been there for at least 10 years. But bring earplugs, and maybe a chair....

Had a great night out seeing Lee Camp! The show was brilliant and the drinks were flowing!

Ive only been here a few times to listen to some friends bands play. Its always been fun and the atmosphere is eclectic and cool

Always love this place. Wonderful local acts

Great vibe, felt like I was back in NYC

Took my daughter to see Noah Guthrie... Great lil place for an intimate music experience. & Noah was really great!!!

Fantastic night of music watching Keith Harkin.

Nice intimate place to see a show.

Never been there but I heard Lazer Loyd is going to be in town and I could not miss it so dropped myself there and had a blast so fun music and live show with good ppl of Charlotte and good beer as well thanks Charlotte for a night to remember!

An AwEsOmE, intimate venue for small shows. Local beer, pbr and wine. If youve never seen Nathan Angelo, make sure you do! He comes around twice a year! Usually standing room only.

If you love music, youll love The Evening Muse. They offer a wide variety of acts from all over the country and present them beautifully mixed and illuminated. One of the top spots in NoDa.

Chris needs to be fired. Ive never seen anyone more aggressively and inappropriately bartend in my life.

BadCameo live music was awesome.

Really cool spot in NoDa for an evening of Comedy with Joe Zimmerman

Perfect intimate venue for the style of music they tend to book. Great bartenders with exceptional beer selection. Sound is some of the best Ive ever experienced and its primarily an older crowd actually there for the music.Tons of food trucks and other dinner options in the area so get there early. Parking has gotten a lot better with the new parking decks and if you are going to a later show the YMCA on Davidson allows free parking, all within easy walking distance.

Great spot for live music. Small venue so performers are up close and personal and the sound is great. Never been for coffee, but the Muse has a full bar so you can have a drink while watching a show.

Fun place to hear/watch up and coming artists. Small stage provides a intimate setting. Puchasing guaranteed seating in first 3 rows is well worth it. Nice bar preventing a thirsty audience. Enjoy dinner at many of the excellent nearby resturants before the show. Audience is a fun diverse group. Good opportunity to make new friends.

Love this venue. Great to just check in and see whats happening. Friendly staff are easy going and open to most questions

Great Place to See Original Live Music!My wife and I have been coming here to see concerts here since it opened back in 2001. We love the fact that they book original music bands, not cover bands.The sound is always great - well mixed and loud enough but never a need for ear plugs (thanks Joe!).Its the best place in the Carolinas for live music if youre an early-bird (doors usually open at 7pm, 1st band plays 8pm-9:30 (to an audience seated on folding chairs) so we can be home and in bed by 11pm. However, we often stay for the (standing only) late show - the 2nd band usually on from 10pm-midnite. Thats a MUCH better time table for us than the usual rock bars where the bands dont start playing until 10pm or 11pm. And for you late nighters, you can hang out and party at the Muse after the music ends or begin your NoDa bar crawl at that time.The Evening Muse bands tend to be of the softer/acoustic type (never saw a death metal band there for example). The music styles vary - unique/eclectic but often with an Americana flavor. The musicians/singers are always gifted/very talented.Good crowds too - people that go to the Muse are there to hear the band, not hear each other talk. Theyre more mellow and mature than your typical rock music bar thats packed with loud/rude 20somethings jacked up on too much testosterone & alcohol.Highly recommended for anyone seeking a great live music experience.

Awful service! The space is amazing but the attitude of the bartenders made it a terrible experice.

My girlfriend and I ordered ginger ale at $2 a glass which is a little expensive but the barkeep was friendly. We came to see Matt heckler and had a fantastic time!

Rudest bartenders Ive ever encountered. Ive been to bars where you have to wait a while to get a drink, but to have the bartender yell at my husband when he was just trying to tell him that two of the drinks were on a separate tab, red flag number one followed by just not serving us because of it, #2. Then asking me what I want and make a yapping hand gesture at me when I tried to close the tab, downright offensive.

Best listening room in Charlotte hands down! The Evening Muse is becoming the most historic venue in town for seeing new, local, and national bands with that small club atmosphere. If you want a intimate listening experience with a music artist this place is for you! Definitely my favorite spot and the price for admission never lets me down. Just get to the venue early because parking can be tricky.

Tuatha dea was very goodLooking forward to seeing them again

Had an awesome time seeing Daniel Donato! Love this place I saw The Accomplices there too.

I went to see Olivia Lane,and her show was great.....This is a nice place and Ill be back.....Thanks Evening Muse...

Great venue. Such a great night. One of my favorite cities. See you soon NC ️️️️️

Had a great vibe. And good music.

Its a great venue that does lots of local artists!!

Went there for a comedy show tonight. The staff was eating noodles, held seats at the bar for regulars or friends while they smoked, talked loudly during a show, high fives each other a strange amount of times.The worst offender was who I called coked out Mr Rogers. I had three people tell me how rude he was. He was rude to me. There were rude signs on the bar about where people can and can’t stand. Sorry, if you don’t want us there then don’t sell out. There’s so much room in that shoe box.The worst was coked out Mr Rogers making fun of the entire show. He had a running commentary. He finally had something negative to say about the group onstage and I confronted him about it and he sassed back that he could say what he wanted to. No, you can’t two-and-a-half-men, when they sold your house out that night . He tried to backpeddle when I paid, but it’s the first time I haven’t actually tipped in a LONG time. I didn’t think any of the lackadaisical staff deserved a tip, including him. Artists avoid this venue, unless you want a loud bar reading you for filth the entire time in guests’ earshot reach.

Went to see Jake Scott....great little venue...nice fully stocked bar...awesome friendly bar tender and staff... and low priced tickets to see great performers! Nestled in the super quirky area that is NoDa!

Best place in Charlotte for live music, staff is awesome

Great venue, friendly folks, great music.

First time there in a long time! It was awesome and the band rocked

One my fav venues to hear and play music in around the CLT area

Place is kinda small and was sold out with no place to sit for a number of people that last time we went. If you get there early its cool. Cant dance however but fun none the less.

Awful service worst people, good music though.

Love open mike night on Mondays. Relatively inexpensive, good time classic small stage intimacy.

Its a great spot for small concerts. They charge for tickets plus a cover which I find is silly. Beer is also way over priced but otherwise it is a great space!

Cool venue, great mixed music/comedy open Mic on Mondays

Ive enjoyed some excellent small venues, but this little place was magical.

Great place to hear local musicians

This place was very charming and had a very mellow vibe. I attended an open mic night and there were some very interesting performances. The drinks were also really good. They should consider added a kitchen service.

The sound is great here. Intimate venue with a great staff. Chris at the bar always keeps your glass filled and Joe is a master with the sound. Love this venue.

Ill preface this by saying that some cool musicians have played here and it usually isnt like this. My experience at the Holly Bowling concert (which I looked forward to a lot) was so bad, this is the first review Ive ever written for a concert venue.I walked in 5 minutes after the show was scheduled to start and not only were there no seats available, I was unable to move more than 4 feet from the entrance/exit door. No way to get to the bathroom, and was shoulder to shoulder. It was so hot I was sweating bullets. I could barely see the performance at all. I would have been content just leaning against a wall or something, but that was not happening. Being that Im not one to pay to be blocked up against an exit door in a hot venue with no where to move or sit, I finally left after about 20 minutes. Of the over 300 concert experiences Ive had, this was far and away the worst.It was so bad the artist expressed that they oversold the show and that there would not be a second set before she left the stage. I truly felt bad for her as she is a world-class musician.After I messaged Heather Melton from MaxxMusic Events, she emailed back denying my request for a refund and had the gusto to tell me what I should and shouldnt have done in the scenario.After over 100 shows between Neighborhood Theater and Evening Muse, I wont be visiting either place again. Good luck to anyone trying to attend a popular show at the muse.

Good venue but very small. They have a few craft beers and liquor but not a large selection. The sound for shows is good.

Nice room. The staff needs to work on their people skills.

Over priced. Rude staff. Awesome. Acts. Still. So. Worth. It. Go noda

Really cool place to see a small show. The worst spot in the place is about 40 feet from the performer so its great. Solid bar with good beer selection. Nice people.

Live music and stand-up comedy.

Great venue for that intimate feel. Decently priced drinks and friendly staff. Good place to catch a band!

Great Curtis s is the best

Very bad experience at this bar. Bartenders were extremely disrespectful to my wife.Several people around received terrible treatment.

Great little (very little) music venue. Very intimate and the music is always great. Very diverse genres

This is the spot.Whenever friends from out of town ask where they should go in Charlotte The Evening Muse is always on that list.A true staple of NoDa & I love the employees almost as much as the stage.So many different events presented very professionally.Its a venue that is very well managed & anyone is bound to have a good experience there.

Amazing place when I go that allows many to showcase their talents

Great little venue but $8 bucks for a common draft beer? ! Its NODA though right?

Fantastic venue for both local and smaller touring acts. Great owner, vibe, beer

Loved the ambiance. Laid back and chill vide. Definately my kind of place. Will be going again.

Saw Christy Snow and Rene Russell here. Was great music and ambiance.

A cozy atmosphere with an energetic and charismatic open mic host. Will certainly be returning!

Great venue. The atmosphere and music was awesome. Highly recommended.
