CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte area continues to pick up new dining and drinking options, with uptown and SouthPark in particular being prime spots for such establishments in August.
New concepts Novelty House Rooftop and Havana Smoke & Reserve Social Club debuted in uptown last month, and several more restaurants including Jinya Ramen Bar, a French fast-casual spot and an eatery dishing up globally inspired fare are still to come.
In SouthPark, the newest local restaurant concept by Charleston, South Carolina-based The Indigo Road Hospitality Group — Mizu — opened at Hyatt Centric last month. In addition, SouthPark is targeted for Charlotte’s third Snooze location as well as a new French-Asian-inspired bakery and cafe.
Other parts of Charlotte, including the close-in neighborhoods of NoDa, Plaza Midwood and South End, will also see their restaurant lineups grow in the coming weeks and months.
These additions to Charlotte’s restaurant scene come as local food-and-beverage operators, already dealing with hiring challenges amid the ongoing pandemic, saw a Covid-related safety measure return in August. Businesses across Mecklenburg County must comply with a mask mandate that requires customers to wear a face covering while inside public spaces.
