Undercutting Drink Prices March 21st, 2010 Posted by Hunter Wilson

One of the worst things I have seen in this industry over the years is the practice of undercutting drink prices. This is where local bars compete to have the cheapest drinks in town on a particular night. Sounds like an understandable business practice, right?

CNL Interviews: Above & Beyond March 20th, 2010 Posted by Sarah Coombes

Lost in a trance at Forum: And not because I had one too many drinks, but rather because I was interviewing one of the top trance groups in the globe, Above & Beyond. Above & Beyond have remixed hits for Madonna, Dido, Brittney Spears, and Radiohead. Furthermore, the group’s hit volumes, like the Anjunabeats collection, are popular worldwide. In town for one night only, Above & Beyond members Jono Grant and Tony McGuinness took the time to meet with me in the Forum . Paavo Siljamaki was not able to attend as he was manning the radio station back home. But in the small, intimate, and lit entirely by candlelight setting, Jono, Tony, and myself relaxed on the comfortable couches, and talked music and nightlife.

T-shirt, koozie and hour long lines, Happy St. Patrick's Day! March 17th, 2010 Posted by Tiffany Sochurek

St. Patrick's Day usually conjures up images of shamrocks, red hair and a whole lot of beer. All over the country people don "Kiss me I'm Irish" t-shirts and green apparel; this all while downing as much beer they can possibly drink. It's a day everyone is Irish. Crowds and crowds of people went out for St. Patrick's Day all over the country. I mean if there was any other holiday meant to just have fun for a full day, I can't really think of it. It's a day when girls can be free of thinking about what shoes to match their outfit and a a t-shirt and jeans are all you need to get in. All in all a perfect day, yes? Lets see, food, beer, friends...what is missing? Oh yes, waiting in line for an hour to get a t-shirt for a pub crawl and another hour just to get into a bar: paying cover charges to get into every place you go, even your DD.

Give a hoorah because Ri Ra is back in business! March 16th, 2010 Posted by Sarah Coombes

While the wait for Ri Ra’s reopening has made their closing feel like a lifetime, it was only nine months ago that the pub closed its doors to renovate after the fire. But now, just in time for St. Paddy’s day, Ri Ra has finally reopened! So in order to get in a quick pre-paddy’s celebration, as well as check out the latest restorations, my fiancé and I headed over for the grand re-opening party.

Coco Osteria: Blonde Bites Food Review March 13th, 2010 Posted by Emily Shedrow

Hunger struck around 9:30pm last Friday night as I battled through the usual Uptown traffic. By the time I settled for a spot in Hearst Tower’s parking garage one thing was for certain; I was now starving. Lucky for me, Charlotte is full of great restaurants that stay open later on the weekends. I was immediately drawn to a small Italian place in front of Hearst Tower called Coco Osteria.
