The lifestyle in Charlotte · Greater Charlotte · Mecklenburg County
The lifestyle scene in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Charlotte is the South's banking capital — a skyline of regional headquarters, NASCAR money in the suburbs, and a city that grew a million new residents while keeping a churchgoing Southern core.

What the scene looks like here
Charlotte's on-premise scene sits just west of the city: Club Red Door in Gastonia, a private club running Friday meet-and-greet socials and Saturday themed parties with the schedule published in advance — about a half-hour drive from center city. Confirm dates on the club's own page before you plan a night out.
