An Upscale North Carolina Nightclub Gets Life Thanks To “Bar Rescue”

Author Chris Allen

It happened to so many establishments.  So many opened right at the very beginning of the C word.  I think you know the one. And because of bad timing the club just did not have a chance to get off the ground.  An upscale North Carolina nightclub gets new life thanks to the show “Bar Rescue”.

“Bar Rescue” is that reality show that goes into bars that are failing and turns them into thriving businesses.  The show was called upon to help Rio Ultra Lounge in uptown Charlotte.  Its former name was 360 Lounge Reloaded near Northlake .  It will be featured on the March 19th episode of Bar Rescue.

Rio Owner Napolean Isom tells the Charlotte Observer, “There is no doubt this show saved  our bar and gave me the confidence in myself that I needed to make this work”.  To learn more get details here from MSN via the Charlotte Observer.

Here Are The 5 Best Steakhouses In North Carolina

I try and stick to chicken and fish most of the time.  Every now and then, I have got to have a steak.  Sadly, in the small town I live in there is not a steakhouse.  So I did a little digging and here are the 5 best steakhouses in North Carolina.

I was so relieved to find that many of the best steak houses in North Carolina are close.  Very close. Regardless of how you like them, nothing quite satisfies like a delicious piece of meat in the cut of your choice.  I am a ribeye girl but occasionally order the filet.  Chain steakhouses just don’t quite satisfy sometimes.  We do grill at home.  A little trip to the butcher department of your favorite grocery store, about an hour to sous vide then put that baby on the grill.

What if you don’t have the time to prepare your own steak and you just want to go into your favorite steakhouse?  Order what you like, add on a delicious side, and don’t forget a refreshing cocktail.  A nice night out sounds just about right. The “Best Things In North Carolina” website has done the research for us and found the five best steakhouses in North Carolina.
