Friyay Hangout @ Uptown

Hey Guy's
Let’s get together for a fun and casual evening at Monarch Market, a vibrant food hall in Uptown Charlotte featuring nine diverse food stalls, a full-service restaurant, and three stylish bars—there’s something for everyone!

After we’ve eaten and mingled, we can keep the night going at a nearby hotspot like Dahlias Cocktail Bar, known for its swanky vibe and creative cocktails, or enjoy skyline views from the rooftop at Novelty House.
Come hungry, bring good vibes, and let’s enjoy a great evening out in the city!
