Paint and sip with Wine & Design
Wine & Design is a great option for couples who want to show their creative side while sipping some vino and enjoying a good laugh. Hop in a cab and take the short two-mile ride to this art studio that offers a “Drink (and Paint) Outside the Box” class where a team of artists will guide you and your partner through the process of painting your very own masterpiece that you can both cherish forever – all while drinking wine! If you want to have a few friends over to your new apartment for a dinner party, Wine & Design encourages you to host your own private parties as well.
Show your sweet side at the Cocoa Lab
Make it a date night to remember with a private class at the Cocoa Lab. The Cocoa Lab at The Ritz-Carlton where you and your date can schedule a private dessert, chocolate, or pastry cooking class taught by award-winning chefs. You and your partner will have a unique, hands-on experience that will surely leave a sweet taste in your mouths. Plus, you get to take home your treats for later. They offer public group classes as well, perfect for double or group dates!
Get tipsy at The Punch Room
Since you’re already at The Ritz Carlton, you and your date should probably stop and have a nightcap at The Punch Room located on the hotel’s 15th floor. Your date night is sure to be cozy in this intimate 37-seat cocktail bar reminiscent of a 19th-century private club. Sip on thoughtful, hand-crafted cocktails and a selection of specialty punches – many of which are crafted with local herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Be sure to try their trademark drinks such as their signature-shaken Sweet Berry Wine or their signature-stirred Let’s Go To Mexico.
Munch on elevated gastropub fare at The Cellar at Duckworth’s
Located in an underground space originally built in 1912, The Cellar at Duckworth’s has a prohibition-era vibe with a gorgeous brick interior. Grab dinner and drinks before exploring the town at this classy establishment with elevated pub food. Enjoy a juicy steak, truffle mac and cheese, or duck pappardelle – all prepared with local ingredients by well-known chef Fred Quinones. Don’t forget to try their Nutella cheesecake for dessert. You and your date will feel like you’ve stepped back in time at this cozy speakeasy-inspired locale.
Catch a show at Visulite Theater
One of Charlotte’s best live music venues – the Visulite Theater. Enjoy a night of music and entertainment with your special someone at this well-known concert venue located on the edge of Uptown Charlotte. You’ll find big names come through this cozy and quaint theater so keep an eye out on the calendar so you can surprise your date with tickets to their favorite band.
Dinner, drinks, and DJs at Soul Gastrolounge
Head less than two-miles east for globally-inspired tapas, sushi, dips, paninis, and more at Soul Gastrolounge then make sure you stay to dance it all off during the late-night DJ set. You and your date can share plates like lamb lollipops, anchovy fries, or spanakopita then start your second course with one of their unique sushi rolls like the Soul Roll with spicy salmon or the Queen Charlotte Roll with tempura shrimp. You’ll need to save room though because the Soul Gastrolounge menu just gets better with Korean wings and a rotating hummus of the day. The good news is you and your date can dance off all those calories with nightly DJ sets.
Appreciate the fine arts at the Charlotte Symphony
Our Charlotte Apartments are located near just about everything that Charlotte has to offer in means of entertainment and fine arts – that includes the Charlotte Symphony. A great excuse to get dressed up and fancy, head to the symphony to experience concerts like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Star Wars, James Bond, and, of course, classics like Beethoven and Chopin. Check the Charlotte Symphony’s calendar as they have seasonal concerts throughout the year.
Take a stroll or get active in Freedom Park
Get outside and enjoy the weather for your date plans and visit Freedom Park located between Charlotte’s historic Myers Park and Dilworth neighborhoods. This gorgeous 98-acre park is the perfect place for you and your date to walk and talk for literal hours. Or if you’d prefer a more athletic activity, Freedom park offers tennis and volleyball courts, batting cages, and a basketball court.
