Just a quick list of some of my fave spots in CLT! Places I've been and had in the year I've been living here.
Map
Food, drinks, atmosphere are a 10/10. The outdoor and indoor areas are so nice. Even great mocktails if that is more your vibe - I know it’s mine!
Culinary Dropout
Something for everyone! It’s my go to spot when I can’t make a decision on what I want and can try things are different spots. Perfect for a date night or hang with friends who all want something different.
Optimist Hall
SO GOOD. One of my boyfriend & I’s favorite spots. The staff is excellent and the food is even better. A fun atmosphere and great for a date night.
Taco Boy LoSo
So good, so many options. Mindful of allergies!
Burtons Grill & Bar in NC - Charlotte | Park Road
The best Parmesan truffle fries, it’s a must have.
Catalina Kitchen & Bar | Coastal Comfort Food | Charlotte
NEVER MISSES. So much ice cream and so good, make your own or choose their creations. Either way, even the smallest size will have you taking some home
The Scoop N Scootery
Great food for everyone, bonus if you’re an Ohio State fan
Blackfinn Ameripub Ballantyne
All the Irish vibes, a fun spot for a drink!
McHale's Pub - NoDa, Charlotte, NC
So many options to choose from, kind of a hidden gem. A mini food hall that isn’t as busy as other.
Urban District Market
Again, another food hall with options for everyone!
Monarch Market by Crescent Communities
Cute little restaurant with classic choices, small, homey. Nice staff!
THE "DIVE N" (pineville NC)
So cute inside, not super busy. The staff is so great. As someone who’s not always a coffee drinker, they helped me pick the right iced coffee
Waterbean Coffee
So many choices. Truly they never miss. I’ve never had a bad combo - of my own choosing. Feel good environment
Two Scoops Creamery Plaza Midwood
Good tacos, good salsa, great drinks! Right in the heart of NoDa
Cabo Fish Taco
Their sweet potato fries??!!! Stunning, so good. A bit in the pricer side, but good for a healthy treat
Flower Child
Located a little further outside of the city, it’s in the Bowl at Ballantyne and fun for all! A quick beer outside or wait inside for food.
Ballantyne | The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery in Charlotte, NC
The Bowl has developed so much within the last year! With markets on the weekends occasionally, drybar and MANY food options, you’re sure to find something to enjoy. Fun for a night with friends or family.
