This is one of our favorite breweries in Charlotte, and they have great food! If you like IPAs, Sam highly recommends Juicy Jay.
This is one of our favorite restaurants right next to the AC & Marriott hotels, which is on the more casual side.
This is a great local restaurant near the AC & Marriott hotels!
If you’re looking to grab a more substantial bite to eat before the Welcome Party, Noble Smoke’s restaurant is a great choice. We’ll have many of their sides featured as light bites at the Welcome Party too.
Optimist Hall is a great option for folks who can’t agree on what to eat. It’s a large food hall with tons of local options to choose from. This would be a great spot for dinner before the Welcome Party or breakfast or lunch before the Ceremony on Saturday.
This is another great option for dinner before the Welcome Party, and it’s also where we had our first date. Sam does NOT recommend the Vesper, and Elizabeth recommends that you request your salt on the rim of the glass, not the side, if you’re having a margarita. Otherwise, everything is fantastic as is. :)
If you’d like to get outside and do some walking, running, or cycling, we highly recommend hopping on the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. There are tons of access points all around Charlotte.
