Coming down to Charlotte on Thursday and looking for some recommendations.

Good Morning,

My husband and I will be making the trip down from Jersey to Charlotte on Thursday afternoon and I was hoping you all could help me out a bit?  We'll be staying right near the NASCAR hall of fame and looking for things to do Thur/Fri/Sat nights.  I think we mostly know what we'll be up to during the days, but we're looking for some bars to hang at at night.  I read that Farhenheit is supposed to be nice and have a rooftop bar which sounds fun.  We're also into lively places with bands (preferably not DJs) if there are any around.  Walking distance would be great, but I'm certainly not opposed to grabbing an Uber either.  We'll also be at the Roaring Riot tailgate so maybe I'll see some of you there!

Thanks!

Howl at the Moon is a good spot in the Epicentre and usually has live music. Queen Park Social is always a good time. 

I would also recommend checking out the bars in South End down by Bland St Lynx Station. There's All American Pub, Slate, The Gin Mill, and several other bars and breweries within walking distance of that train stop. 

If you like sushi, go to O-Ku one night.

Uber or catch the light rail up to NoDa. Some cool restaurants and bars there. Or head down to southend, same thing.

Yeah,  we were thinking of doing that Saturday in the afternoon to check out the breweries.  Going to have to try to no get too ripped up during the day though, or I'll be a mess at the tailgate the next morning!

Pizza - Benny Penellos

southern food - Merts or Tupelo Honey.

Midwood smokehouse and Dish are good too, but neither is accessible to you via public transportation easily   

Hot Dog lunch - JJs

Eclectic food with badass rooftop view - peculiar rabbit (would have to Uber)

Mexican food - Cabo Fish Taco.  It gets a lot of press so people say it’s overrated, but they are wrong 

brunch- Jack Beagles, Merts or Tupelo honey. 

being from Jersey I’d eat as much southern food as you can. 

I miss anything?

Sunday brunch at Fahrenheit is excellent, it's also very close to where you're staying and offers a nice rooftop view of uptown

Thanks! I'm hoping to be out early to brunch with the roaring riot, but I definitely think I'd like to check that place out.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
