Charlotte: A city of freaks

It took a minute to register. In fact, it didn’t hit me until my friend stopped to ask, “Did that guy just call me a freak?” Indeed, he had.

I’ve always been more of a people listener, so to speak, than a people watcher. This is especially true when it comes to going out at night.

Sewercide Mansion, the dirty palace

A white picket fence in need of a paint job runs a ragged border along a lawn populated by 20-somethings clutching cans of cheap beer. Female-fronted punk comes screaming out of the basement’s large, propped doors.

Gardens plentiful of beer — or are they?

With the warmer months fully upon us, outdoor drinking is in full swing across the city. Porches, patios and backyards are once again key in late night and weekend revelry.

Wine is just as divine as the hard stuff

All too often, wine gets overlooked as a choice beverage when indulging in some nighttime fun. While the cranberry vodkas, jager bombs and Long Island Iced Teas are always stellar options when out and about in search of some intoxicated fun, a glass of wine doesn't necessarily have to be reserved for a romantic, refined dinner for two.

Do your date night special at Crave Dessert Bar on the patio

The now irrelevant Montell Jordan once sang, "It's Friday night and I feel alright ..." As such, it's a great night to take your man or woman out on a date.

'Prohibition is better than no liquor at all'

Charlotte has amplified its nightlife scene once again with Prohibition Bar (formerly known as The Attic), an establishment that, in my opinion, is going to play a major role in evolving nightlife’s backdrop altogether. Jason Astephen, general manager, was more than enthusiastic about what Prohibition plans to offer:“This place is going to be a fun alternative to the nightclub scene, and no one is going to be turned away.” At 10 p.m. on the weekends, they plan to clear the dance floor and bring in a DJ, giving the bar that nightclub twist.
