Aura Cocktail Lounge is hands down one of the best spots in Gastonia. The atmosphere is upscale without feeling pretentious, the music always sets the perfect vibe, and the cocktails are made right every time. The staff is friendly, the hookah is smooth, and it’s a great place whether you’re on a date, celebrating with friends, or just looking for a quality night out. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a grown and classy experience.

Very pleased in this atmosphere! The vibe definitely creates a whole AURA!! A place you can chill after work, attend events as well as host your own personal event. Service is great, drinks are bomb and music sets the tone of the whole place.. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lowkey vibe.

If you are looking for an amazing place to go, that is versatile with their events and their food options, definitely come here. I’ve been going to Aura since last August And I can truly say that they have maintain consistency with their service quality, atmosphere, drinks/hookahs. On average, you can spend between $50-$60 on food, drinks, and a hookah depending on the day/special they have. I love how they bring in fellow Gustonian and surrounding business owners to create amazing events and networking opportunities. So if you are a business owner, please make sure to pop in one day and network!! My favorite night of all time is Karaoke Nights every Wednesday!!!

Right outside of the chaotic Charlotte nightlife. Aura is intimate, decorated beautifully, and well priced. Signature cocktails are original and NOT watered down. Typical drink prices beat Majority bars, as a plus. Variety of music genres, with the best dj’s. Customer service is fast and friendly, plenty of seating, and really cute photo walls for great pics.

If you want to catch a good vibe in Gastonia, you definitely have to check out Aura. It’s right on Main Street, but they do have free parking behind the building. The drinks are good and the staff is great. They also have really good DJs on the weekends with an R&B night on Fridays. You can still have a good time without having to drive all the way to Charlotte.
