A Football Fans' Guide to Food in Charlotte, North Carolina
"If you don’t mind standing and being snug next to your neighbor, this is your place. Come game day, there will likely be a line forming at the side entrance on Selwyn Ave. For Selwyn loyalists here to stay and watch the game, the pub is the destination, not the stadium. Everyone is eager for its infamous vodka Transfusions, which juxtapose the increasingly craft cocktail scene in the city. With one glance at Selwyn on a Sunday, it’s obvious there’s still a niche for some down-home drinking. The outdoor patio is a mighty display of locals — college kids, yuppies, older chaps who’ve been drinking beer at this Myers Park neighborhood establishment since 1990. It wouldn’t be a shock to see a former Panthers player or two grabbing a drink here, as well. As for food, order one of the pizzas or sneak out for a sandwich next door at longtime Charlotte specialty grocer, Reid's Fine Foods." - Kayleigh Ruller
