Creative Loafing NC: Best of Charlotte After Dark

 The best place open after 2 am was awarded by CLCLT.COM to Amelie's French Bakery (open 24/7) serving things like French press coffee, chocolate croissants, tasty soups, sandwiches and more. 
Amelie's is a hot-spot for more than just a sweet tooth fixing it's also a place for great socializing and networking (no matter what time you find yourself there).

 
 These are a few more restaurants that are open after 2 am which did not make CLCLT'S top after hour places to dine but were highly recommended by a few natives of Charlotte who know some of Charlotte's best kept secrets.
  • Champs Americana
  • Jillian's
  • Athens (Greek food of course)
  • Cosmo's cafe


But I want to hear from you Charlotte; 
  • What are some of Charlotte's best-kept secrets after dark (and no I-HOP and the WAFFLE HOUSE doesn't count.) 
  • If there aren't any after hour eating spots, do you feel more should be adopted in Charlotte that are easily accessible to those in need of "feeding there alcohol” after a night of clubbing or those in need to feed just another late night hunger attack. 
  • What are some restaurants you'd like to see become after hour late nightspots as the greater Charlotte's nightlife expands?

  2. Yes! Amelie's is amazing! The environment, atmosphere, location, and food. I also wish I knew what else was open after 2am. We need more places like this.
