3.0 of 5 stars based on 6 votes

This is my "favorites" list for things to enjoy around Charlotte, NC. I use the word "favorites" instead of "best" because I just know what I love, but I can't claim to have tried every other alternative in the city. If you know of great alternatives, please share them! I plan on adding to this list as I make new discoveries.

  • 4. Favorite Lakeside Bar: T-Bones On The Lake
    T-Bones On The Lake, Lake Wylie, South Carolina

    Food's not great and the service can be flaky, but the beer tastes good and the view is beautiful on a summer night.

    A fun club with a laid back atmosphere. Easy to find and lots of fun!

    Lake Norman is too big. Mountain Island Lake is too small. Lake Wylie is -just- right! Plus not nearly as many pesky problems with lake levels as on Norman.

  • 7. Favorite Upscale Night Out: Charlotte Symphony
    http://www.charlottesymphony.com

    With a beautiful hall in Blumenthal, attending a concert is as easy as a quick stroll from anywhere in uptown. Classical music has never been so accessible!

    Beautiful houses, a Christmas home tour, the Fourth Ward's where it's at in Charlotte.

    An indie theater among the frou frou houses of super-suburbia. Will wonders never cease?
