Drinks & Nightlife
Dive Bar:
Diviest of the dives. Not a place you can get a cocktail. Drinks mainly consist of domestic cans, PBR tall boys, and well liquor. I appreciate how inexpensive everything is. The place is small and "divey." The light is dim and there are tons of interesting knick knacks on the walls.

Sightseeing
Only a few minutes from busy Uptown, the Historic Rosedale Plantation and its nine-acre landscaped grounds offer a glimpse at life in Antebellum Charlotte. Built in 1815, Rosedale was known as "Frew's Folly" because its owner, merchant Archibald Frew, lavished money on constructing the 4,600-square foot plantation home. Restoration work continues on the historic gardens. The plantation is known for its majestic flowering trees.
