I need to get over there!!
It's really good. Whenever I go to my sisters house, I stop over there. Get the Henny wings!!!!
I went to this restaurant called Billy Jack Shack in Noda, got this sandwhich that was a cheesebiscuit with fried chicken, honey on top, pimento cheese, and some fried tator tots with blue cheese, it was fire too. They're a good place to go if your drunk asf.
Was he on the corner posted up or on his bike?
I think the funniest 2 times I saw him was one time coming down Tryon on his scooter.
Then another time I’m at an intersection, and he pulled up in a white van, rolled his window down and started screaming Jesus Saves
Martha
No, he was just on the sidewalk yelling "JESUS SAAAAAAAAAAAAVES!!!!!!!

There's a new seafood take-out restaurant on Sunset Rd. called Steam It Up. I think it is Black-owned but I have not been in there yet to see. Here is the Yelp page: https://www.yelp.com/biz/steam-it-up-seafood-charlotte

A small group of friends gathered inside Three Spirits Brewery on Old Pineville Road on Thursday night. Lee dikkerson heard that the three-year-old brewery is closing this weekend, so he gathered his people for a night out.
They chilled at the southwest Charlotte brewery about 9 p.m. on Thursday to reminisce and talk with owner/brewmaster Tabu Terrell. Along with dikkerson’s friends, couples and other patrons from as far away as Fort Mill stopped in to say goodbye and buy growlers.
Terrell wouldn’t comment for this story, but the closure wasn’t a surprise to regulars. Last month, the Charlotte Business Journal reported that the property was for sale. Three Spirits Brewery confirmed its closing on Twitter on Tuesday.
Well folks, I know you’ve heard the rumors & now it’s time. This will be our last week open. Our hours will be slightly different:
Wednesday 4p-10p
Thursday 4p-10p
Friday 5p-close (we will have music bingo if there is a crowd)
Saturday 2p-close (Mim… https://t.co/GJUR3yjfos pic.twitter.com/Go6cmQ99ou

When the 12,000-square-foot brewery opened at 5046 Old Pineville Road, the area was kind of no man’s land. In some ways, it still is. Charlotte’s hottest brewery scene rings the Uptown area, from NoDa to Plaza Midwood to South End. Three Spirits is between Woodlawn Boulevard and Tyvola Road. It’s off the grid and has that kind of vibe. Loyal patrons say Terrell didn’t create a brewery like every other one, with the same types of beers and events. He brewed what he liked then tested on patrons. He called it “comfort” beer.
It worked, considering his Red Moon Rising won a silver medal at the NC Brewers Cup last year.

Terrell is a risk taker. He quit his job as an emergency room doctor and turned his hobby into a business. Oh, and he happens to be a black man in a business that is overwhelmingly white. The fact that Terrell was gutsy enough to buck the craft brew stereotype is what made barber Danny Sims want to work there.
Sims cuts Terrell’s hair and said he always wanted to be a bartender. He said Terrell gave him a chance. By the way, Sims bucks stereotypes himself — he is a white dude who cuts hair at a black barbershop. So naturally, when the black guy (Terrell) decides to open a craft brewery, Sims wanted in.
“I was happy because I got to be a part of it,” Sims said.

He takes pride in the fact that he and the other staff built real relationships with patrons.
“Danny, Tracy, Tabu are family,” said Kyle Rine, 24, of Fort Mill. “They know their customers. They serve them better than any other place I’ve been.”
Rine and his wife love that the bartenders remember their names. When the Rines walk into the brewery, there’s an Ain’t No Hop Steppin, Southern Bliss or new beer on the bar.
Richard Peacock, 46, and his wife admittedly said they hadn’t been to Three Spirits in a few months, but says the bartender still remembered his name on Thursday. The Peacocks live off Nations Ford Road and started going to Three Spirits because it was close. They returned for the atmosphere.
Three Spirits has a roomy feel with a couple of big leather chairs and big tables. It’s dark like an English Pub. It’s not full of tables crammed together. It’s the kind of place to enjoy a beer and a conversation without shouting over the music. Then there’s the fun stuff like the Prince tribute parties, music bingo, and cardio funk. That’s a bit of a different lineup, compared to the live music and yoga that dominates most activities at breweries.
“People get caught up in what’s trendy in this town and miss out on a lot of cool things,” Peacock said.
Sims puts it this way: “Some people are just too smart and they’re ahead of their time. (Tabu) was the Prince of the Charlotte beer scene.”
