1. Smelly Cat Coffee House
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 374-9656
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: NoDa
There was an intermittent alternate dimension happening at Smelly Cat over the past couple of days, and it made for great people watching. Case in point: today several groups of fourth graders paraded in throughout the day to read their own poetry,…More »
2. The Thirsty Beaver
I didn't realize straightaway that a 'big one' PBR in these parts was some sort of giant 24 oz beery monstrosity. Temper that, North Carolina - we out of towners only manage to handle what we can. What I discovered outside of that idea was not much…More »
3. Thomas Street Tavern
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 376-1622
Categories:
Restaurants,
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
The sky was crying thick sheets of rain when I sauntered into Thomas Street Tavern, a loose assemblage of draft and bottled brews, flat screens, and elbow to elbow friends. These guys were bringing them in from all fronts. And while this place was…More »
4. 131 Main
One of the things that I wanted to do when I hit town was scrape around to a few different sides of town - and while I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to explore Dilworth, I did make it a point to grab dinner here on my way out for the…More »
5. The Blake Hotel
There are some things that the Blake Hotel does very very well, and some things that look like they're about half done here, like the renovations started but never quite were seen through to completion. If you make your way up from the parking garage…More »
6. Mortimer's Cafe and Pub
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 688-0366
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Uptown
It's loud in here. Loud. Did I mention it's loud? 'Cause it's loud. Now, I admit I may be gauging this on the idea that I hit this place on the equivalent of Super Bowl Sunday around here: race weekend in the Epicentre? Locals would know better, I…More »
7. Mac's Speed Shop
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 522-6227
Categories:
Barbeque,
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
I almost figured that I'd walk in here, sit down, and they'd hand me my mail: Mac's felt like home for me from the get-go, and when it started pouring buckets of the wet stuff outside I perhaps figured I'd found serendipity: that temporary valhalla…More »
8. Aloft Charlotte Uptown at the EpiCentre
Hotels are by their very nature expository; seldom the reason for a trip itself, they are, nevertheless, ideally a respite from the strange or even exciting city beyond...pacesetters, if you will, a launching pad into the night or at the beginning of…More »
9. Dandelion Market
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 333-7989
Categories:
Bars,
American (New),
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
I'm an easy mark for laid-back spots with solid beer selections, and Dandelion Market features both: lots of NC brews represented within, and this place was a welcome respite from a day that saw the Charlotte area awash in temperamental weather.…More »
10. Snug Harbor
It's not particularly snug and I didn't really see a harbor nearby, but what do I know is that if you're keen on indie bands and good company, you could do worse than this divey pirate-themed musical haven. Snug Harbor had been recommended to me by…More »
11. The Philosopher's Stone Tavern
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 350-1331
Categories:
Pubs,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
Three stars is probably about right: if The Philosopher's Stone Tavern were a car, they'd be a borderline interesting sedan - few surprises lurk within, but that doesn't mean those within can't be happily transported. I wandered in here on a Saturday…More »
12. McKoy's Smokehouse & Saloon
It was Cinco de Mayo, so of course Nicole and Todd offered to take me somewhere to get BBQ. And being of the mindset that any BBQ is pretty good BBQ (generally speaking), I was only too happy to comply.
We sat on the patio, so I can't really comment…More »
13. The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery
The bones of this brewery are classic in the pint-lifting sense: vaulted ceilings, lots of group seating, plenty of open space, three sizes available for all brews. I'd have not been super surprised to run into a few modern vikings here, arms akimbo,…More »
14. Midwood Smokehouse
BBQ joints come in all sorts of technicolor glory, from the creaky houses of yore, where you leave smelling like you're wearing SIde of Beef cologne with a sprinkle of sauce for good measure, to the newer, more refined varieties, each with their own…More »
