5 New Charlotte Nightlife Destinations

Here in North Carolina, as most people know, the weather is unpredictable, suffocatingly steamy, and yet full of sweet sunshine and easy breezes.

This summer I've been taking full advantage of the cooler evenings at the thriving foodie hang outs and cocktail cravers havens. Charlotte has been opening so many new & exciting spots, each with a unique personality and catered to the surrounding neighborhood. Here's my late summer bucket list of new places to check out this month.

It's a challenge to break away from routine, especially when it get crazy and hectic and just plain too hot to move. So this summer grab your friends, go get a cocktail and try a new place one night as soon as you can! Why not take a staycation, or be tourist in your own town when there are so many new places opening right next door?

While any of these would make for a perfect addition to a night out game plan, if you're feeling sassy, you can take it to the next level and reserve professional transportation to side step worrying about parking and dealing with traffic. Make an evening out it! It's your adventure, isn't it? Charlotte Party Bus is an excellent choice for this type of exploring! There's a little bit of something for everybody here to enjoy, plus you'll be supporting small business in the area. It's the ideal transportation, where everyone wins, and you get a fantastic night out on the town your crew will remember as the summer heat fades and the cool air rolls in.
