    There’s a new neighborhood bar coming soon to South End in Charlotte.

    Ginny’s Whiskey Bar is slated to open Saturday, Dec. 27, replacing the former Broken Promises cocktail lounge at 214 West Tremont Ave.

    The latter closed back in May and had been featured on the Netflix reality dating series “The Ultimatum,” which filmed its second season in Charlotte, CharlotteFive previously reported.

    Remodeling is complete, but Ginny’s Whiskey Bar is still awaiting its ABC permit, according to Business Debut.

The ground level features a restaurant with large glass panels and a small fenced-in patio area with potted plants.

    “We’re almost there!” Ginny’s captioned a video shared to Instagram showing furniture being moved into the new space. “Opening day is right around the corner.”

    Customers can look forward to an Irish-style pub serving “bourbons, Irish whiskeys and six Irish and English beers on tap,” WhatNow Charlotte reported. There will also be a dedicated space for shuffleboard and video games.

    “It’s nothing extravagant — just a nice neighborhood bar,” co-owner John Ellison told the outlet. “It’s reminiscent of what the original Gin Mill was.”

    Ellison described the 2,500-square-foot space as a casual hangout to meet up and unwind with friends, Business Debut reported. He added that Ginny’s will have a food truck on-site most days rather than operate a full kitchen.

    Ginny’s Whiskey Bar will be open Wednesday through Friday from 4 p.m. – 2 a.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from noon until 2 a.m.

    CharlotteFive reached out to the bar for more information on Monday, Dec. 15, and was awaiting a response.
