Places to Eat
Best fried chicken in town and an incredible mixologist
Lots of variety for everyone at this food hall
Our favorite sushi place in Charlotte
Absolute best burgers, in our opinion.
Technically in Davidson, but outta this world. The milk bread is to die for!
Breweries
The pick'n series is great if you like fruited beers. Otherwise the Citraquenchel is our go-to. Lots of outdoor space and we really like the trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm.
Hop Drop is a classic ;)
Fun table top games and unique craft beers
The Good Morning Vietnam is award winning!
Cool vibe and good, consistant beer
Coffee Shops
Coffee and beer! Our favorite place to work and edit.
Multiple locations, but the Jay Street one is our fav.
The OG Central Coffee
A nice place to go work… plus they have some food too!
They have empanadas!
Wine
If you need a wine night, go here! We love the atmosphere and variety of wine offerings.
Not in Charlotte, but not a far drive for good wine and better views.
Best wine selection and staff that will help you find the perfect bottle.
Cozy but busy spot near south end. The patio is awesome!
We like the Dilworth location best, but all have awesome wine and food.
Cocktail Bars and Speakeasys
Membership required. Pro tip: go on Sunday evening when it is less busy
Makes a drink based on your preferences
Things to Do
Great for outdoor activities and then live music for River Jam in the summer :)
One of the better hikes near Charlotte
Food stalls and events, plus just fun to wander. Friday Nights is the best time to come.
If you love cats, go here!
We've tried a lot of escape rooms, but this is our favorite set.
