Not familiar with Red @ 28th, but the other places are really the only spots worth checking out in Charlotte. I second Amelie's. It's no cute little bakery you'd find in SoHo or West Village, but it's one of the few nice places open 24/7 in Charlotte. I used to bring my work there with me all the time and check out hipster chicks
I used to go to the Crepe Cellar a lot too, which is also in NoDa.

Man I still haven't been to Crepe Cellar, I was gonna go last week with my girl and she hit me with "but they only sell crepes, why would you wanna go there?" :ScustCam: I'm definitely gonna check it out now though.
Another low key spot in NoDa I used to take a lot of my first dates to was Smelly Cat Coffee house, low key in the cut real good for first dates.
But as far as nightlife go, you have
- NoDa - already explained
- Downtown - bars, taverns, epicenter or just sightseeing and walking around
- University area for college parties if you plugged into UNCC, the boardwalk as said.
- Camden Rd./Southend - Art galleries, great restaurants like phat burrito, Prices chicken coop, midnight diner, the food truck friday and saturday events and it's right on the edge of downtown
- Clubs like 935, Cameo, 5th element, Apostrophe
- Strip clubs like Onyx, Nikkis, 124
- and then you got the hood spots...I'm not gonna front, I stopped fukkin' wit hood spots a looong time ago so I don't know what's still poppin' or not.
