CHARLOTTE — From a swanky new cocktail lounge in SouthPark to a taco joint’s debut in lower South End, the Charlotte area’s dining and drinking scene gained several additions to start 2024.
The Loft at Duckworth’s is now open in Piedmont Town Center — that 1,800-square-foot spot can be found above sister concept Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse. Meanwhile, Taco Boy opened at the end of January within The Station at LoSo, dishing up Mexican-inspired cuisine and cocktails in an eclectic and inviting space
They join new spots such as uptown restaurant The Fifth Fork, which took over the former BLT Steak space at The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte; new-to-market brunch restaurant Eggspectation in south Charlotte; Salata Salad Kitchen in lower South End; and Crazy Mason Milkshake Bar in Concord.
