300 East is found in the historic Dilworth neighborhood in Charlotte. That rustic setting only adds the right touch of class to this highly popular restaurant and bar. The interior mood is one of casual elegance, so if you're on a date you can sip wine with your companion and not have to shout to hear one another. 300 East is also a popular nightlife hangout for groups of friends or coworkers to enjoy something off the impressive New American menu and have a few beers to help close down the workday.

Alexander Michael's, or "Al Mike's" as it's affectionately known, is one of those special nightlife hangouts where you'll feel right at home the minute you set foot in the door. The low-key atmosphere and laid-back attitude of its patrons will ensure that your first visit won't be your last. There's a tasty menu available that features burgers, nachos and fried pickles, among many other delectable choices. And even though the kitchen closes early, the bar is open late, and that alone is reason enough to stay late at Al Mike's.
Ri~Ra isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill Irish pub.

That authenticity is only augmented by the impressive collection of Dublin ledgers that date back to the 1800s. But, even though a weighty history anchors this charming place, the excellent beer selection and classic atmosphere make it a thoroughly modern favorite of visitors and locals alike.
