What's in the Name
South End was home to Charlotte’s first railroad line in the mid-1800’s, connecting us to Columbia and Charleston, SC. “Link & Pin” is an old railroad term. A “Link” was installed on one railcar then, as the two railcars were joined, a “Pin” was manually inserted into the other railcar’s link, holding the two railcars together. Since our flagship location was located in Historic South End and on a light rail stop, we felt the name Link & Pin was a good fit.

Cocktails
Blackberry Buttons
This original cocktail has fresh blackberries and lemon that play perfectly with tequila and a hint of chocolate/vanilla. All of these elements are united with a splash of amaro and the stunning effects of a Szechuan 'buzz' button.
$16
Boulevardier

$15
Fireside Chat
Rittenhouse Rye and Becherovka (a house-favorite spiced Czech Amaro) are at the forefront of this spirit-based cocktail, with a touch of darker Amari and Mole Bitters adding depth to the finish. Brought to you while being infused with smoke from Sugar Maple chips, it's symmetry and complexity will have you longing for a firepit and great conversation.
$15
Fig Manhattan
This Manhattan variation uses our house-infused fig Bourbon and Amaro to give the classic more depth of character, without adding additional sweetness.
$15
French 75
Uncle Val's Botanical Gin shaken with fresh lemon and a touch of sugar make for a brilliant drink on it's own. Top it off with a beautiful dry Champagne and you have the perfect way end a great day. Or, start an even better one.
$14
Hemmingway
Unlike his books, this Daiquiri is bright, clean and complex. Clarified juices and herbal notes make this a fantastic modern rendition.
$13
Illegal Contraband
This bright cocktail employs the subtle smokiness of Ilegal Mezcal and smoothness of Havana Club Rum to round out fresh ginger and lime. A Fernet Branca float adds the balance and complexity we should look for in every cocktail.
$14
Lake Love
Freshly pressed red grapes, lemon and basil center this crisp, clean and contoured fusion of McQueen Brazilian Gin, Italian Limoncello and French St. Germaine liqueur. It may well be the perfect patio sipper but performs equally well as a celebratory toast, entre pairing or evening nightcap.
$15

Honey and a special house blend of spices make this one of the best Bloody Marys in town and just the kick you need on a weekend morning.

$13
Manhattan
The classic bourbon cocktail crafted with Maker's 46.

$13
Pear and Cilantro Margarita
Caramelized pear juice works perfectly with Reposado Tequila and Grand Marnier. While the herbal cilantro tones are a great balance to the sea salt and orange zest foam.
$13
The Right Note
The Last Word has long been an in-house favorite. This portrayal employs fresh lemon, Uncle Vals Gin and Yellow Chartreuse to soften the sharper elements while maintaining the brilliant complexity of the original. Aperol and St. Germaine provide the delicate botanicals to both compliment and heighten this exceptionally well-rounded and welcoming libation.

Spanish G&T (Gin & Tonic)
There are some times where simplicity is the best option. We have found the perfect Classic Tonic and paired it with a superbly soft and well-rounded South American Gin. Fresh cucumber, star anise, lime, orange and rosemary are introduced to accent and compliment the botanicals in both while keeping this cocktail beautifully light and clean.
$15
