By now I am sure you are familiar with Ink N Ivy — the giant and amazing new restaurant/bar/patio in HQ Charlotte at 3rd and Church streets.

What is it?
Ink N Ivy is aiming to be more than just a bar or restaurant. Food will be accessible, yet crafty, with interesting and unique twists on classic dishes. They will have breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner so they’ll really be doing it all (plus a raw bar).
Look for a solid collection of beers and a cocktail list that is affordable yet adds to the growing lineup of quality cocktail bars around town. It will stack up with the best of them.
Lastly, the patio. If you’ve walked by the area, I am sure you’ve noticed the INSANELY large patio. It will essentially be a venue in itself. There is a full bar, ping pong tables, seating for dinner, seating for drinks, corn hole, and much more. It is to note that they will set up a heated tent on the “Vine” side of the patio for the colder months. Genius.

When can I get in there and check this amazing place out?
Look for a grand opening November 7. But you will be able to get in ahead of time. They will be holding a charity event showcasing the nightlife as well as a Sunday tailgate next week. Here are the deets for that:
Pick Your Poison Halloween Event at Ink N Ivy Charlotte
When: Saturday, October 29. Doors open at 8 p.m.
What: DJ Adrenaline will be spinning all night long.
Tickets: Sold for $15 online. Tickets include passed hors d’oeuvres and Ink N Ivy buffet.

Tailgate Charity Event at Ink N Ivy Charlotte

What: On game day, experience the 6,000 square foot patio overlooking Romare Bearden Park before our grand opening and help raise awareness for breast cancer research.

Please note that in these pictures there is still some construction and cleaning going on. They were setting up for staff training so the tables are not where they normally will be. This place just has to be seen to be believed, get in there early November and look for a final “they’re open” story from us coming soon.
