Timeless Tradition
Our name is an homage to travelers and the respite they discover along the way. Our upscale tavern is nestled on the ground floor of the historic Packard Place building in Uptown, Charlotte. It’s a timeless space where history and hospitality have found a natural home.
James Ward Packard, co-founder of the Packard Motor Car Company, commissioned this space in 1928 as an automobile showroom. For decades, PMC set the standard for superior engineering and refined elegance on American roads.
During World War II, the company lent its engineering prowess to the war effort, manufacturing engines for the legendary P-51 Mustang fighter. Afterward, Packard merged with another celebrated manufacturer, but the road ahead proved difficult. The marque fell silent in 1958.
The building kept its name, and so did we. Whatever your mode of travel, we invite locals and wanderers alike to step into history and experience a welcome like no other.
