4 places to dine in an igloo in Charlotte

“Igloos” are one of those pandemic-era innovations that have become seasonal fixtures at some of our favorite spots.

Goodyear House has six igloos. Each fits up to 6 people, including room for a high-top or stroller.

Details: There’s a two-hour time limit per igloo.

Time slots vary, with more available on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Staff sanitizes between each visit and there’s an option to keep the igloo door open on warmer days.

Price: A $25 fee will be added to your bill, which goes toward their charity Goodyear Giving.

Last year, they raised enough money to be able to send staff members to Nicaragua to help build a school.

To make a reservation at a Goodyear House igloo, go on Open Table.

Igloos are available atop the JW Marriott rooftop in Uptown through the end of February.

Details: Each fits up to eight people.

There’s a two-hour time limit per reservation.
Igloos are sanitized with peroxide spray and aired out for 15 minutes between each reservation.

Price: $10 per person and there’s a $350 food and beverage minimum. 20% gratuity will be added to your bill at the end.

Reservations can be made on Open Table.

These are bigger, fancier igloos and are reservation only. They’ll be open through March 30.

Details: There are two igloos here; each fits up to 12 people.

Both are unique and decorated by local designers: one is Boho-themed, the other has a slick and modern feel.
Each has a small space heater inside, which is enough to keep everyone warm.
The igloos are sanitized between each use.

Price: $750-$850, which includes a food and beverage minimum and the rental fee.

Your reservation total will also include a 25% gratuity fee for your server, and tax, totaling a little over $1,100.
