"Vinyl is a permanent fixture of a proper night out in Charlotte. It’s dynamic, dancey, and somewhere between a club and a bar, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays. The festive spot stays loyal to its name, bringing in the city’s best DJs every night of the week. And don’t shy away from the food here — it transcends bar food. Brunch rocks a pork shoulder hash and a croissant French toast, and dinner’s prosciutto toast on local bread and adored double smashburger are legit. Get a Bombay Sapphire Sparkling Lemon, head to the patio, and let a Vinyl night commence." - Kayleigh Ruller
