Aptly named, The Jailhouse in Belmont, North Carolina, occupies the town’s former jail, preserving the character and stories of its 1960s past. Iron bars, concrete-clad rooms, and walls lined with historic photos let visitors step back in time the moment they walk in. Upstairs, the main bar features 150+ whiskeys, an extensive wine list, and 18 beers on tap, alongside a menu of share plates, flatbreads, burgers, and sandwiches. Downstairs, a speakeasy-inspired cigar lounge with a walk-in humidor offers a private retreat for patrons looking to relax with premium cigars. The high-end filtration system keeps the upstairs bar smoke-free while maintaining the historic atmosphere. Whether you cozy up in a leather booth, sip a personalized cocktail, or explore the unique food menu, The Jailhouse provides a one-of-a-kind experience blending Belmont’s history with modern flavors and craft drinks. Entry is located at the back of the Belmont Jail on Mill Street, just behind Old Stone Steakhouse—making it a must-visit destination for visitors seeking both local history and a memorable night out.
