Our Crispy Calamari is the perfect way to begin a dinner at The Crunkleton. We toss our lightly battered and fried calamari with Kalamata olives, charred tomatoes, capers, pepperoncini, charred lemon, and our house-made sauce.

The creation of the perfect cocktail begins with our ice, which our bartenders cut by hand. We handcraft large ice cubes that melt slower than your traditional machine-made cubes and won’t dilute your drink. Cheers!

Beignets are a French pastry, with a slight crunch on the outside, but pillowy and sweet on the inside. We top ours with @pureintentionscoffee nitro brew icing and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Classic cocktails and open fire cooking in Elizabeth

In December 2018 we opened our second location in Charlotte at 7th Street and Pecan Avenue in historic Elizabeth. Here you will enjoy the same classic cocktails, deep selection of fine spirits, curated wines and craft beers as our original Chapel Hill location with the addition of a full kitchen centered on open hearth, live fire cooking for nightly dinner and weekend brunch.

Our dinner menu is designed to complement the cocktails, prepared and executed with a similar respect for the past with new, innovative twists. We serve appetizers, entrees and shared plates and feature everything from dry-aged meats and hearth-hung chickens to seasonal small plate offerings and a really good burger. We’re equally proud of our weekend brunch menu, served 11am-3pm Saturday and Sunday. Each and every item kisses the hearth at some point during preparation.

We hope you’ll visit us soon and please take a moment to like and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
