From the leather-clad haven of The Woodshed to the sportsman's paradise at Sidelines, and from the iconic vibes at Chasers to the quiet charisma of Starlight on 22nd. As of 2019, all establishments that serve alcohol are legally private clubs or bars open only to members and their guests. Uptown is the place to be for clubbing to a local hip-hop soundtrack, but don’t write off the bars in NoDa, which gets its name from North Davidson Street, or in Dilworth south of Uptown.

North Carolina’s little legal quirk means that Charlotte has plenty of golf courses falling under that private club purview—so, while we’re talking clubs, bring a set of your own for the fairway!

The city might be named for a German princess, but Charlotte has a substantial Greek population.

The Queen City has myriad options to quench your thirsty throat on a humid night.

We're talking young, old, and ageless (you know who you are); every race, every face; masc, fem, and everyone in between. Double-check. A space where every stripe of the rainbow is welcome? Well stocked selection in a crisp, clean atmosphere.”

— Josh M. (Orlando, Fl.)
