I'm planning a trip to NC - checking out all kinds of videos - and this is hands down the BEST travel video. So informative. I love the format and the terrific overview scans of the areas of the city. Thank you Venture Addicts! Keep up the good work.
Damn, great video! Lived here a long time and never heard of the quarry. Pretty cool, definitely gonna check it out. I lived in 30-40 cities (big and small) and Charlotte is the perfect blend of both IMO. Here are a few more spots I'd highly recommend to anyone coming to check it out: Sports lovers: (uptown has a ton of options depending on the time of year) - Bank of America stadium hosts the Panthers and Charlotte FC MLS games, both are a great time and reasonably priced compared to other professional sports - Same goes for Spectrum arena where the Hornets play their NBA games - Truist Field hosts the Charlotte Knights AAA baseball and its probably the best bang for your buck in terms of price because the stadium is beautiful and it feels like a big league venue. - All of these are within 4-5 blocks of each other near Roman Bearden Park. - Charlotte Motorspeedway is like 20 mins away and I'm not even a Nascar guy but its pretty crazy! Food: Uptown: - Merchant and Trade (swanky rooftop bar & bites, incredible views) - The Cellar (I know he mentioned it, but wanted to echo bc its that good) - La Belle Helene (French, just a really unique place in Charlotte with good food) - Caroline's Oyster Bar (Seafood, Wine; its in the JW Marriott so grab a great dinner here then head to the roof for a nightcap and amazing views at Aura) South End: - Yunta (Peruvian, don't let the bland exterior trick you, this place has such a cool vibe, feels like you're in Miami lol, and the food is INCREDIBLE. Get the grilled octopus!) - Yamazaru (Sushi, the best sushi in the city! Its a small place that gets packed so expect a wait but totally worth it.) - Fota Buta (Ramen, along the rail trail, with just massive bowls of high-quality ramen) - QC Pourhouse (Best bar food/sports bar. A great place to start your day drinking vibes and lunch because its the perfect central location to everything else) - Trolley Barn (The best for large groups. Wide menu range, great drinks, cool vibes) - Eight and Sand (Breakfast/brunch/coffee. The Nashville hot chicken biscuit is bigger than your head, its incredible) - Charlotte Beer Garden (A huge bar, great rooftop, great all-around spot) - Barcelona (tapas, great cocktails, cool vibe) Noda: - Benny's (pizza. yeah its a franchise but the one in Noda kills it. The slices are ENORMAOUS... seriously, you've been warned lol) - Goodyear House (request the backyard patio, it alone is worth going for such a charming vibe) - Haberdish (southern food, if you're coming to charlotte you have to get some southern food at least once and this is the place to do it) - *Optimist Hall (food hall. my favorite spot because I can never make up my mind lol. Get the empanadas & dumpling lady!) *not sure its technically NoDa but close enough - Noda Company Store (a unique little patio for drinks and bites) Plaza Midwood/Central: - Supperland (southern food; good luck getting in. But if you can, go) - Workman's Friend (Irish pub; try to go on a Sunday because they usually have a group playing Irish singalongs and its a fun time) - Ace No. 3 (burgers; one of those great spots that just has burgers, fries and milkshakes. best burger in town) SouthPark/Park Rd: - Restoration Hardware (the furniture store? trust... they have this wild, super high end rooftop restaurant on it that feels like the Great Gatsby. If you're feeling fancy...) - Steak48 (steakhouse. your typical high-end, seductive steakhouse, but they do it pretty damn well. Best steak you'll have in town... bring your wallet!) - Baku (Sushi/Asian fusion. Right next to steak48. Another pricey but cool spot- much like all of south park)
I've lived here all my life and I don't like it here. If you go to uptown it DEAD all the time. Everything is 20-40 min drive away. Everything he mentioned its a long ass drive. Transportation sucks. You need a car in charlotte. Malls close early, only 1 mall in charlotte that is pretty decent. Food is meh... You'll easily get bored here unless you don't like to go out than it might be for you.
in my opinion, the museums suck, food, nightlife, everything is just sucky all around. Beaches are 4 hours away. Mountains are like 2 hours away, I'm definitely considering moving elsewhere. Schools can be bad. A decent apartment will cost you upwards $1300. I find myself visiting the same places I know bc I can't seem to find anything to do here. Carowinds is okay it's small.
@@chrisp.c2065 that's all they do is complain move back to New York and nobody told you to move down here damn. Oh that's right they can't afford New York anymore. Atlanta is 4 hours away
Good to know that ! Some comments about the university area really got me scared. I'm coming in january as an Exchange student and need effective information. TKS 🤗
Brilliant tour, thank you. And, you've only just scratched the surface really. I lived in CLT for 5 years and at times, I hate to admit it, but would think there could be more. Now that I've moved away to a backwoods stuck in the 60s town in south australia......I yearn for a beer at Resident Culture, a stroll along the greenways, heck, even a fling around the 485 on my Harley for a bit of speed, Charlotte really does have a lot. And good job featuring the Cellar, Rob's done an amazing job with the Duckworth's franchise - love it.
This is awesome! I am torn between Charlotte, Columbia, and Rock Hill and this video has put Charlotte in the #1 spot!! I need to rewatch and take notes. Thanks for sharing this info!! Edit: Didn't notice that everything was in the description...YOU ROCK!!
If anyone is worried, the shoppes at university always has parking because half of the shopping center has closed shops. It is beautiful but fairly empty.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy our city. An interesting way to spend a couple of hours might be to take the light rail to the southern end in Pineville, a few miles from the SC border. Then take it all the way north to the end at UNC Charlotte. Get off and explore wherever the mood strikes. There is a phone app that shows the schedule, and another one to buy tickets. It’s quiet, comfortable and safe.
What an amazing and helpful video. So professional and informative. I may be the video that'll help us finally take the decision for leaving NYC! Keep on doing this!
Awesome video with a lot of cool things that I haven't experienced yet here. Great job on this. One other thing I'd mention is Charlotte's history as the first branch Mint in the United States. Anyone that spends enough time there will notice some reference to the Mint. This is because one of the first gold rushes in the U.S. happened nearby and the first mint to produce coins from these mines was created in Charlotte. We're very proud of this (well at least I am :D ). The Mint Museum in Uptown is NC's first art museum and also displays some pretty cool original coins minted here.
This video was the best destination video I've ever watched in my life. My wife and I are thinking about moving to Charlotte, and your video helped. My wife and I enjoyed your video. I wish you and your team nothing but success, and I just subscribed to the Channel 💯
Great video. One thing you missed and one thing you unfortunately didn't: 1) To me, the whitewater center's mountain biking trails are the best in the region. 2) Being from Gastonia (but now live in Dallas, TX), I was SOOOO sad when Charlotte discovered Crowder's Mountain about 10 years ago. Used to be 2 to 3 people on the mountain at a time. Now 200 - 300.
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I moved here this past August, and I am still learning. One of my friends is coming to visit in two weeks...very helpful. Actually tried Mac's earlier this week, VERY good!
Another you didn't mention was Nellies in Belmont, about 30 mins from Uptown west. It's southern cooking owned by the Jonas Brothers parents. It's named after their grandmother. You may see a brother show up from time to time.
Lived in Charlotte most of my life and I am only 1/2 way through and most of these are not things I would think of, so much more that is better. Seems like more like a glamorous add for places.
Hi I love your videos. I'm currently in UK and plan to move to US this year. I wanted to create a video for UK before I leave. What program or settings are using for Google earth? I like how you are able to pinpoint the view.
i live in Tampa,its growing,lots to do,traffic is getting bad,winters are nice but summers really hot,i like it but after 20 years here,im tired of all the heat.
As a Charlotte native this was pretty good but I’m still wondering how you forgot the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Don’t worry I’ll help you out. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is a tourist attraction right in the heart of the downtown area, it shows the incredible and rich history of NASCAR and what it has to do with Charlotte. Also in Freedom Park there is the Nature Center which belongs to the discovery center organization the helps educate people on a multitude of different things it’s actually really cool. Another thing there is a steakhouse that is delicious called Del Frisco’s. It’s pretty expensive but really good. Last thing, Charlotte has the mint Museums which are incredible check them out.
The best thing I did was leave this city its nothing to do boring, I live in Hallandale Beach which is next Miami and Hollywood Beach the night life is amazing and its always some were to go and enjoy yourself.
Sheeesh I lived in Hollywood beach FL next to Hallandale and sure there's no way on Earth to compare these two regions if you are coming to or moving from anywhere in South Florida to Charlotte. Charlotte is for retirees that don't require much and for 30s plus that also do not require much as they begin their Family. I'm actually moving back to the area to Coral Springs FL, mostly because my rent in Noda is 1800s therefore I rather spend that in South Florida.
This is awesome to see ! Thanks for covering out city! Only error we saw…Midwood and Macs are no bueno. Jon G’s Barbecue. Not just the best in Charlotte area, best all time. I said what I said.
Born and raised Charlottean who is happily gone from there. Straight talk - it is very boring outside of being compared to smaller NC/SC cities. There is not much that differentiates it from any other mid-sized city. It is full of chain restaurants, low on public parks, minimal public transit, one of the most expensive airports and extremely expensive for such a bland banking/work centered town. A hint is in this video - mainly that the majority of recommendations are 30 min - 1 hour + away from Charlotte itself. Out of state developers are ruining it further by building more predictable bland chain restaurant & apartment focused land use. So if you are have to relo there for a job but don't really need to be entertained by a city, then it is survivable. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere to live. The few things that are worth experiencing in the video include the Whitewater Center, Heirloom Restaurant, Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, Thirsty Beaver (who sticks it to aforementioned out of state developers), Dilworth Tasting Room and Vin Master (not mentioned but walking distance from Dilworth Tasting Room). Soult Gastrolounge sadly was a victim of out of state developers.
I am not sure I have subscribed to a channel this fast -- Excellent Production, the Google Earth views adds an immersive experience to the tour Keep it up --I see this channel soaring
My son is considering UNC Charlotte for this fall. We are visiting next week. We were going to visit uptown Charlotte. Are there any areas you recommend we stay away from
very good sound quality, a bit of everything (history, facts, common interests). Yet I didn't expect or see reason to include advertising for products. Hoping to see more besides restaurants.
need more places to go see and travel to. do a separate video for food and restaurants. you have forgotten carolina raptor center, charlotte airport overlook, daniel stowe botanical garden, historical rural hill, latta historic place, mcdowell nature preserve, reedy creek nature center, nascar hall of fame, a ton of things to do on charlotte motor speedway in and around concord, etc. mixing food with tourist attraction is like watching people sing on america's got talents, when they should actually be on american idol instead. still a good video, could have added more attractions instead of eateries or making a separate video on eateries.
2 places mentioned in the video already closed down (Soul Gastrolounge and What the Fries). We need a new video for Charlotte. We have so many new delicious restaurant not featured in the video. Supperland, Peppervine, Hestia, etc.
Great video, I am however, surpised you didn't add Price's Chicken Coop on here for famouse fried chicken. I like Chicken King better, but when I moved to Charlotte in 2012, everyone I met asked if I had tried Price's yet, because it was touted as the best chicken in the state.
@@VentureAddicts That would include other towns too :) Jacksonville is an hour from wilmington, so should jacksonville be part of things to do in wilmington?
How can you do a video on thi gs to do in Charlotte without even mentioning the Nascar hall of fame, coyote Joe's and their great live kusic and entertainment, or Jeff's bucket shop the best little karaoke bar in the whole city???
@@VentureAddicts Tulsa and Rt 66 is worth discussing too. Also wondering what happened with the Arizona video? you mentioned in the Phoenix episode that one covering Sedona, Flagstaff and Grand Canyon was forthcoming
viva chicken is overpriced chicken that you can make at home. There is literally nothing fancy or special about their chicken. Noble smoke is a good BBQ place.
For a city that's 41% white, 35% Black, 14% Hispanic, and 6% Asian, the Black representation on what to do in these videos is lagging. I'm planning to visit Charlotte, but when I type in the city, videos that don't represent me are what pops up. I'm almost made to believe Black folks are a minority there that I had to Google the demographics. For example, this video recommends restaurants that represent every demographic but Black. That says so much and UA-cam got to do better with their algorithm.
Best Charlotte video I've seen! I'm moving there this spring and this was so helpful
Me too..next month
I feel bad for you to be moving here
Agree. He's talented.
@@bxsicjeff2819 They don't know what are they getting into . Even some California's say thats cheaper and safer to live in CA 😔
Whaaat!?!
I was born and raised here in CLT, thank you for covering this city.
I know right because all of the 📸 I have found about Charlotte are just talking 🗑️ about Charlotte
@@joshuametzl1420 yeah very fun at parties i don't let my disability keep me from having fun in Charlotte
I am from Charlotte as well

Thanks Erica!
@@VentureAddicts You forgot the Lempira restaurant which serves the best traditional meals from 🇭🇳 on south boulevard
This is definitely one of the most underrated channels on youtube.
We’ll make it one day 😭
@@VentureAddicts You absolutely will, I'll like and share until you do. Great content guys. Keep it up!
Damn, great video! Lived here a long time and never heard of the quarry. Pretty cool, definitely gonna check it out. I lived in 30-40 cities (big and small) and Charlotte is the perfect blend of both IMO. Here are a few more spots I'd highly recommend to anyone coming to check it out:
Sports lovers: (uptown has a ton of options depending on the time of year)
- Bank of America stadium hosts the Panthers and Charlotte FC MLS games, both are a great time and reasonably priced compared to other professional sports
- Same goes for Spectrum arena where the Hornets play their NBA games
- Truist Field hosts the Charlotte Knights AAA baseball and its probably the best bang for your buck in terms of price because the stadium is beautiful and it feels like a big league venue.
- All of these are within 4-5 blocks of each other near Roman Bearden Park.
- Charlotte Motorspeedway is like 20 mins away and I'm not even a Nascar guy but its pretty crazy!
Food:
Uptown:
- Merchant and Trade (swanky rooftop bar & bites, incredible views)
- The Cellar (I know he mentioned it, but wanted to echo bc its that good)
- La Belle Helene (French, just a really unique place in Charlotte with good food)
- Caroline's Oyster Bar (Seafood, Wine; its in the JW Marriott so grab a great dinner here then head to the roof for a nightcap and amazing views at Aura)
South End:
- Yunta (Peruvian, don't let the bland exterior trick you, this place has such a cool vibe, feels like you're in Miami lol, and the food is INCREDIBLE. Get the grilled octopus!)
- Yamazaru (Sushi, the best sushi in the city! Its a small place that gets packed so expect a wait but totally worth it.)
- Fota Buta (Ramen, along the rail trail, with just massive bowls of high-quality ramen)
- QC Pourhouse (Best bar food/sports bar. A great place to start your day drinking vibes and lunch because its the perfect central location to everything else)
- Trolley Barn (The best for large groups. Wide menu range, great drinks, cool vibes)
- Eight and Sand (Breakfast/brunch/coffee. The Nashville hot chicken biscuit is bigger than your head, its incredible)
- Charlotte Beer Garden (A huge bar, great rooftop, great all-around spot)
- Barcelona (tapas, great cocktails, cool vibe)
Noda:
- Benny's (pizza. yeah its a franchise but the one in Noda kills it. The slices are ENORMAOUS... seriously, you've been warned lol)
- Goodyear House (request the backyard patio, it alone is worth going for such a charming vibe)
- Haberdish (southern food, if you're coming to charlotte you have to get some southern food at least once and this is the place to do it)
- *Optimist Hall (food hall. my favorite spot because I can never make up my mind lol. Get the empanadas & dumpling lady!) *not sure its technically NoDa but close enough
- Noda Company Store (a unique little patio for drinks and bites)
Plaza Midwood/Central:
- Supperland (southern food; good luck getting in. But if you can, go)
- Workman's Friend (Irish pub; try to go on a Sunday because they usually have a group playing Irish singalongs and its a fun time)
- Ace No. 3 (burgers; one of those great spots that just has burgers, fries and milkshakes. best burger in town)
SouthPark/Park Rd:
- Restoration Hardware (the furniture store? trust... they have this wild, super high end rooftop restaurant on it that feels like the Great Gatsby. If you're feeling fancy...)
- Steak48 (steakhouse. your typical high-end, seductive steakhouse, but they do it pretty damn well. Best steak you'll have in town... bring your wallet!)

Really cool video! I'm planning to move from Germany to the US. Charlotte is on top of my list.
Going to Charlotte next week for work, found something to do in the evening. Thanks!
The WORK you put into this!!!
Lots, thanks 😊
Finally I found a 📸 that doesn't talk 🗑️ about my hometown

The best overview of Charlotte.
Thanks 🙏
I live an hour from Charlotte. Definitely have to head down there for some fun! Another hiking area nearby is Uwharrie National Forest.
Great suggestion!

haha thats a cell phone tower not a mountain
There is even a zip line inside white water center... Been to whitewater it's fun 5 bucks to park they even hold fireworks there on the 4th of july
Nice always be aware of your surroundings and always be mindful to others
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I moved here this past August, and I am still learning. One of my friends is coming to visit in two weeks...very helpful. Actually tried Mac's earlier this week, VERY good!
This is the best video I ever seen in a long time.❤
Thanks!
You missed Waverly shopping center and the airport overlook. Maybe Topgolf and Southpark Mall
Thank you. I have been in Charlotte and had no idea these places even exist. Appreciate it. Any suggestions on best rooftop bars or places to eat?!
I was watching another video about things to do in Charlotte and one video named “ Fahrenheit” as a nice rooftop
Bar that overlooks the city
This is extra helpful! Amazing breakdown and visuals 🤤🤤😍
Can’t wait to try out these spots. Thank you so much!
Another you didn't mention was Nellies in Belmont, about 30 mins from Uptown west. It's southern cooking owned by the Jonas Brothers parents. It's named after their grandmother. You may see a brother show up from time to time.
I like this video. You tell it like it is. I approve this message.
Beautiful job. I want to move there.
Some of the best places to eat are the suburbs of charlotte . Monroe, mint hill , Gastonia are just a few other places to explore
Great video, I live here and still discovered some new things. Just subscribed!
You should do different ethnic restaurants spots in Charlotte
Yunta for best Peruvian restaurant . Simply AMAZING
We Love Charlotte NC from Iran 🇺🇲❤️🇮🇷
What’s the best Iranian city to visit for Americans?
Lived in Charlotte most of my life and I am only 1/2 way through and most of these are not things I would think of, so much more that is better. Seems like more like a glamorous add for places.
Well this video is meant for tourists who want to visit so list some places below!
Hi I love your videos. I'm currently in UK and plan to move to US this year. I wanted to create a video for UK before I leave.
What program or settings are using for Google earth? I like how you are able to pinpoint the view.
Thanks! Check out our Q&A video. We talk about how me make our videos in detail
Software is called Google Earth Studio
Great video! Thank you!!
Dang, I’ve lived here 16 years and didn’t know most of these places existed., thanks.
Love your videos! Would love to see one for Jacksonville Fl or Tampa Fl. Both are expanding a lot over the last couple years!
i live in Tampa,its growing,lots to do,traffic is getting bad,winters are nice but summers really hot,i like it but after 20 years here,im tired of all the heat.
For those saying it is boring- you are boring and lack imagination, motivation, and curiosity. THe Queen City is vibrant, raucous, and deep.
Nice next spot you guys picked!
Finally you guys!
As a Charlotte native this was pretty good but I’m still wondering how you forgot the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Don’t worry I’ll help you out.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame is a tourist attraction right in the heart of the downtown area, it shows the incredible and rich history of NASCAR and what it has to do with Charlotte.
Also in Freedom Park there is the Nature Center which belongs to the discovery center organization the helps educate people on a multitude of different things it’s actually really cool.
Another thing there is a steakhouse that is delicious called Del Frisco’s. It’s pretty expensive but really good.
Last thing, Charlotte has the mint Museums which are incredible check them out.
Please do Raleigh next!!
Well done video! Kudos! So much more that you missed culturally...but this was a decent well done starter kit.
Thanks! Feel free to add anything you’d recommend for viewers reading the comments
The best thing I did was leave this city its nothing to do boring, I live in Hallandale Beach which is next Miami and Hollywood Beach the night life is amazing and its always some were to go and enjoy yourself.
Sheeesh I lived in Hollywood beach FL next to Hallandale and sure there's no way on Earth to compare these two regions if you are coming to or moving from anywhere in South Florida to Charlotte. Charlotte is for retirees that don't require much and for 30s plus that also do not require much as they begin their Family.
I'm actually moving back to the area to Coral Springs FL, mostly because my rent in Noda is 1800s therefore I rather spend that in South Florida.
Charlette appears to be a place to slow down and have a family. Miami is for the single who still want to party day and night
Can y'all do Atlanta because I live here but I wanted to see you can find new stuff to do here
We love it. Atlanta will definitely be done this year
Atlanta is a shithole
Amazing work 🙌🏼
Just a little south is Skydive Carolina for those who want a thrill
Thank you
This is awesome to see ! Thanks for covering out city! Only error we saw…Midwood and Macs are no bueno. Jon G’s Barbecue. Not just the best in Charlotte area, best all time. I said what I said.

2 places mentioned in the video already closed down (Soul Gastrolounge and What the Fries). We need a new video for Charlotte. We have so many new delicious restaurant not featured in the video. Supperland, Peppervine, Hestia, etc.
Damn
Did they go out of business?
@@123heydatsme both said temporarily closed for a while now so I don't know.
I know you guys did Austin but I'm still waiting for San Antonio
Think Houston will be our next Texas city
@@VentureAddicts can't wait!
Great video, I am however, surpised you didn't add Price's Chicken Coop on here for famouse fried chicken. I like Chicken King better, but when I moved to Charlotte in 2012, everyone I met asked if I had tried Price's yet, because it was touted as the best chicken in the state.
I had to cut it, but definitely worth a shoutout
Price Chicken Coop closed.
I just saw they closed 2021
Jon G's Barbecue - Peachland, NC!!!!
You failed to mention Charlotte's gold history and gold mint.
The best barbecue is the smoke pit in Monroe
Why is everything by about eating basically
this is the most small town transplant axios-esque video ive ever seen lol
I love USA.❤❤❤
Should something 30 miles away be included in a review of charlotte?
When I visit cities, I almost always rent a car and explore places an hour or more away
@@VentureAddicts That would include other towns too :)
Jacksonville is an hour from wilmington, so should jacksonville be part of things to do in wilmington?
I talk about other towns if I don’t plan to make a video about them, like Franklin in my Nashville video
nice video, very informative. Why haven't you done one of Atlanta? The biggest city in the southeast?
One day 🙏
Jacksonville FL is the largest population wise.
How can you do a video on thi gs to do in Charlotte without even mentioning the Nascar hall of fame, coyote Joe's and their great live kusic and entertainment, or Jeff's bucket shop the best little karaoke bar in the whole city???
do oklahoma city next
Love OKC! Very low key but worth a video
@@VentureAddicts Tulsa and Rt 66 is worth discussing too. Also wondering what happened with the Arizona video? you mentioned in the Phoenix episode that one covering Sedona, Flagstaff and Grand Canyon was forthcoming
BTW thanks for the Chino Bandido recommendation, it was probably the best thing I ate when I visited there. Not many people know about it.
Yeah think we’re gonna try that one soon this year!
Lol ain’t nothing in okc
You got the metropolitan wrong it is 2.9million people almost 3million
Must have counted wrong
He said in the video that charlotte metropolitan was 2.5million people if you google it now it is 2.9million
@@jerrydavis3548 you say that on every UA-cam video about the 3 million people in the Metro when they talk about Charlotte. LOL
Make one about Cincinnati... The real queen City 😂
I definitely will
9:16 It's Charlotteans, not charlatans.

viva chicken is overpriced chicken that you can make at home. There is literally nothing fancy or special about their chicken. Noble smoke is a good BBQ place.
The first boom was in 1803 when gold was discovered. The second national was started here after Philadelphia.
Is it true there a lot of snakes? We’re considering moving from Long Island but the snakes situation might be a deal breaker for my wife
I am from Nepal bt after 7 months I also go this place for win dv winner
Hurry up with Soul, it’s closing.
Oh t from in black from
uh yall i live here for 14 years it kinda gets boring sometimes i recommend not staying here for a long time if your looking for thrill and excitement
What about the sports teams in the area? Great job otherwise!
For a city that's 41% white, 35% Black, 14% Hispanic, and 6% Asian, the Black representation on what to do in these videos is lagging. I'm planning to visit Charlotte, but when I type in the city, videos that don't represent me are what pops up. I'm almost made to believe Black folks are a minority there that I had to Google the demographics. For example, this video recommends restaurants that represent every demographic but Black. That says so much and UA-cam got to do better with their algorithm.
