Food Scene
Restaurants I would recommend close to my house
Haberdish is a decent walk (for the non lazy) or a very short drive from the house into the central NoDa area. It has a great outdoor patio, very modern casual feel. The drinks are great, especially if you like Whiskey, and the food is good too. Its the most upscale aside from one other restaurant as you are going to get in NoDa.
Tip: Try the chicken and waffles, mac'n'cheese and the cauliflower is so good!

One of my favorite restaurants in NoDa. Its as "upscale" as you are going to get for the area. The food is not necessarily something to run home about but they have daily mussel specials and the fish and chips is fantastic.

One of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. Fantastic food, drinks and scene. Great for late night drinks and music. What to eat, everything, except the rocky mountain "oysters", just don't do it.

Drinks & Nightlife
Hands down my favorite place to enjoy a beer, bottle of wine and sit just about anywhere. Its out of a little bungalow just behind the main coffee spot Smelly Cat, you can sit in the front, back, inside or the side of the house with swings is my personal favorite. They have something going on just about every day with food trucks. Staff is very friendly and the place is very casual. Hidden gem.

Think of a beer, just about any beer and this place has it. Good draft beers on tap, in the refrigerator to take home or have there. They have wine too which is great. Weekly wine tastings, by the bottle or glass. Its tiny inside which can be a draw back to some but its fun. They have another bar next door, upstairs that has a fun vibe too.
