An eclectic menu and chic atmosphere have certainly contributed to Cosmos’ popularity, but overall, its success is in its price tags. No one can beat this spot's drink specials, from half-priced martinis and wine to $2 domestics. It’s upscale at an affordable price. 300 N College St 704-372-3553 8420 Rea Road 704-544-5268 www.cosmoscafe.com
