Tyler is an amazing mixologist - we made two mocktails together - ok he made them and I drank them but I did help name them! The secret garden and forget me not.  Thank you for such a fun experience. See you again soon.

This place was amazing! The intimate atmosphere creates a perfect setting for interacting with the incredibly charismatic bartenders, who are not only passionate but also extremely knowledgeable about their craft. We visited on Friday and had such a great experience that we returned the next day to try another one of their delicious cocktails. Both times Parker served us and created amazing cocktails from our requests.

I was just walking around King West minding my own business and thought to myself,  man I need an old fashioned. Walked into Charlemagne and was blown away by the service. Both the bartenders were extremely handsome and crafted the perfect old fashioned. I highly recommend this place, it's got an 20s prohibition style vibe to it.
