North Carolina is know for having some of the best weather and best golfing in the world. A little less known fact is that when the sun goes down, Charlotte's nightlife parties harder and longer that a Tiger Woods drive. Everything from strip/dance club combos and drag quees diva spots to mellow hippie-band clubs and poetry readings make Charlotte one of the most diverse night time playgrounds there is. [more]

The center of Charlotte's nightlife is the Uptown District. Nightclubs, college bars, Irish pubs, trendy cafes and upscale eateries combine to make this the happening spot. Many of the clubs and bars have dress codes and even those that don't are often populated by the well-dressed, so you might want to snazzy up before heading into this part of town.

In North Davidson, or NoDa for short, the scene is decidedly different. Here you will find artists, musicians, poets and other free-spirits entertaining each other or just partying the night away. NoDa is also the best spot for some cheap grinds.

In the University District, college bars serve up the pints and drink specials for students and those looking to get away from Uptown's wild streak and NoDa's mellow vibe. [less]
