Peters is the life force of the year-old Punch Room. His name’s on the menu and on signs outside the hotel. Before joining The Punch Room, he was already Charlotte’s best-known bartender. And with good reason, the guy mixes excellent drinks, which he’d very much like you to try. “While I’ll gladly craft a classic cocktail, I encourage all of my guests to go beyond the familiar and try something new and different with the small-batch spirits that I have hand-selected,” reads his introduction to the cocktail menu.
