Bachelorette Party Ideas! - Need Your Help!

I would start googling hotels or even going on sites like hotels.com. See if the bride to be has any special interest. My MOH's asked what I would like to do and all I told them was dinner and dancing lol I love to dance.

I'm not familiar with that area, but could you talk to the bride for some ideas since she's local?

The bride prefers it to be a surprise- she also just recently moved there; so she doesn't have a lot of "favorite places" yet. Does anyone have any ideas or have been to Charlotte and have any suggestions?

I've been to Charlotte once for work - it seemed like a great scene I just didn't get to spend much time there. Check out Tryon/Church/Collge Street area, I think thats the main restaurant area. I stayed at ALoft, I can't remember what the price was but it was RIGHT in the middle of everything.

I've never actually been to Charlotte, but I have heard good things about this:

Rooftop 210! Huge rooftop bar in the EpiCenter with a dance floor, cornhole, etc. Pretty much anywhere in the epicenter is fun - it's set up like a shopping mall, except instead of stores there are bars/restaurants, so if you aren't feeling one bar it's super easy and fast to go to another.

I live in Charlotte and my bachelorette party is next weekend. I am staying at Holiday Inn Center City. I used to work there; JJ (night manager) is awesome & will definitely make sure you're taking care of, they're reasonable, have a free shuttle within 3 miles & give out bar passes.

Epicentre is great for partying - several bars/restaurants in one place. I second Howl at the Moon - it's a great place to start the evening. The dueling pianos are hilarious & they have buckets of amazing cocktails to share.

Aloft hotel is a part of the EpiCentre, their rates are not bad especially if you book far in advance.

Music Factory is another cluster of bars/restaurants near uptown - they have a Wet Willies slushie bar, Label dance club, among other places.

For dinner, we're personally going to Cowbell (Uptown). It seems like a fun atmosphere. I've never been there yet, but I've heard great things.

Or... if Uptown isn't really your thing: Montford Drive is also full of bars, more for late 20/early 30-somethings. There's a bowling alley there that has a nightclub vibe, Park 10 Lanes.

Really hope that helps!

I know that's a lot of info to chew on, feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Thank you ladies so much! I will definitely check out all of these- the bride is a music teacher so I think Howl at the Moon will be great for her (one just opened here in Pittsburgh and I love it!) The EpiCentre and Music Factory sound like they'd be great too; thank you so much for your hotel suggestions too- just looking online doesn't give a great idea of what the hotel is actually like, so I appreciate the help!

I would definitely ask your friend and get her input on what she is expecting!
