12/21/2005 1:40:40 PM

go to the game.

12/21/2005 1:42:34 PM

Is Tonic still there? On Elizabeth, I think. They used to throw some good NYE parties...

12/21/2005 2:09:15 PM

^^^ Was hoping for something a little more specific than "just downtown", thanks though.

^^Going to the game. But seeing as it is at noon, I might still have enough time to have a few celebratory drinks before bedtime.

^Yeah, it's still there. Thanks!

Any others? What are you people in charlotte doing?

Brick & Barrel

That deli on Tryon (wtf is it called) that doubles as a club

Connelly's(sp) Irish bar

Buckhead Saloon is normally a good time

Fireworks at midnight

^ "that deli" is Grand Central i think; i heard somewhere that the alumni ass. is havin their NYE/bowl party there.


just go downtown. seriously. park at 7th street station and start walking; you're BOUND to find somewhere to have fun.

12/21/2005 2:42:09 PM

Menage is really cool. New bar/club just recently opened up, can't think of the name right now. Crush is also a cool place to check out

12/21/2005 2:42:11 PM

Grand Central is right - and I've heard bad things about Crush

12/21/2005 2:45:10 PM

Crush is lame

Buckhead is cool, will be packed for new years and probably a cover charge. It depends on what you want to do, I normally go drink so I hit Stool Pigeons and Ri Ras

sigh

guess it's gotta get spelled out

EVERYTHING is right there. like was said before park in 7th street, walk around. you'll find whatever it is you're looking for. i'm sure you can find your transvestite hookers if you look hard enough.

12/21/2005 2:55:48 PM

me and a buddy got two suites downtown and partied, and then went wandering the streets... it was a blast

12/21/2005 2:56:12 PM

so is it safe to assume that most bars will have a cover charge, and that bar hopping would be stupid for that reason?

12/21/2005 5:32:09 PM

Everyplace has a cover from what I remember from last year and i doubt that will change. And wherever you go in charlotte, make sure you go early to get a good spot at a bar or club.

I, along with hopefully alot of other wolfpack fans, will be spending my first new years in charlotte

12/22/2005 12:22:55 AM

Color me there, although my wife wasn't to do sometihng 'romantic' after the game so probably won't be going out....

12/22/2005 7:49:13 AM

there will be about 13 of us wolfpackers there for the first time too, i cant wait!

12/22/2005 1:24:52 PM

I will be uptown, but i won't be going out.

12/22/2005 3:13:39 PM

i've spent a few NYE in Charlotte

not too much fun


we're driving back to Raleighwood after the bowl game to go to a house party

12/22/2005 3:27:00 PM

bttt

New Years at Waterford Hall, Lake Norman. Otherwise known as the Galway Hooker should be good and the NV lounge exit 28 should prove to be a good cheap night of fun.

Thomas Street Tavern is fun every night, I dont know if they will be throwing down, but either way, it is one of those "can't go wrong" kinda bars.
