From the smoky agave fields of Oaxaca to your glass — Mezcal 87 brings you an uncompromising selection of artisanal mezcals and cocktails crafted by people who know their craft.
Our Story
Mezcal 87 Cantina Bar was born from a simple conviction: the world deserves a place where mezcal isn't just an ingredient — it's the protagonist. Every bottle on our shelf comes from a family producer who has tended agave fields for generations.
Located on Old Pineville Road in Charlotte, we've built a space where the smoky depth of artisanal mezcal meets the precision of modern cocktail craft. Whether you're a first-time explorer or a seasoned enthusiast, our bartenders will guide you to your perfect pour.

The Collection
From smoky reposados to crystal-clear joven, every mezcal in our collection is selected for character, provenance, and the story it tells.
The cornerstone of any mezcal collection. Smooth agave sweetness with a whisper of smoke — perfect for sipping or building cocktails around.
Unaged and unapologetically bold. This clear spirit carries the full force of roasted agave with notes of citrus and pepper on the finish.
One of Mexico's rarest agave varietals. Seven-year maturation yields extraordinary depth — dark chocolate, wild herbs, and a lingering heat.
Our signature twist on a classic. Smoky mezcal, house-made demerara, aromatic bitters, and a flame-kissed orange peel. Complex, balanced, unforgettable.
Fresh-squeezed grapefruit, a splash of lime, and our house-made chamoy shrub over a base of reposado. Refreshing with a smoky backbone.
The traditional way. A pour of your choice, a rim of our house-made worm salt, and slices of orange. No frills — just pure, honest mezcal.
The Experience
Every detail at Mezcal 87 is designed to slow you down and draw you in.
Our bartenders have trained in Mexico City and Oaxaca. They don't just pour — they curate your experience.
Every bottle arrives from the distillery, not a distributor. That means authenticity you can taste in every sip.
Warm lighting, rich textures, and a layout designed for conversation — not noise. Leave the rush behind.
Host your next gathering in our dedicated event space. Custom menus, private bar service, and unforgettable evenings.
