Bar Charlotte has closed. A new venue is taking its place

The nightspot — open to age 18+ — was super well known in the city for its mechanical bull, jello wrestling and ladies nights. It was the type of place that you either loved or you hated, but chances are if you’re a Charlotte native you’ve gotten a little crazy there on occasion.

Its last day was May 28, a spokeswoman said. RIP.

A new concept will be unveiled later this month.

It will be operated by Bar Management Group, the company that runs a lot of the spots in the EpiCentre (like Bubble, Suite, Whisky River, Howl at the Moon and BlackFinn).

“We invested countless hours in research and concept development, and are confident this is going to be an exciting addition to Charlotte’s entertainment scene,” Bar Management Group president Bob Durkin said in a statement.

This is part of the evolution of “Northside Station.”

The new owners have been renovating the building and bringing in some new tenants. The beer garden Flight recently opened, for example, and the old Cosmos location is becoming an Italian restaurant & wine bar.
