The Jailhouse Whiskey & Cigar Bar

Tucked inside Belmont's historic 1960s police station and jail, this multi-story lounge lets you sip premium spirits surrounded by original concrete walls and iron cell bars.

The move: Grab a seat at the stainless steel bar top framed by repurposed jail cell doors, order a flight of local North Carolina whiskeys, and head to the back room to read the ceiling scripts left by former prisoners.
