around town

live up to the hype. When Haberdish opened in NoDa, customers waited hours to enjoy its fried chicken and Southern-inspired sides. Supperland, one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of 2021, was named one of the best new restaurants in the U.S. by Bon Appetit and Esquire. Leluia Hall is their next venture, housed in the former Dilworth church that was home to Bonterra for 20 years.

CALLE SOL

Calle Sol found quick success in the former Penguin Drive-In location in Plaza Midwood, which housed several short-lived concepts after the burger-and-fried-pickles joint closed in 2014. With its colorful interior, upbeat vibe and reasonably priced menu, Calle Sol fills a void for a great casual meal with vibrant flavors. When Calle Sol opens at Apex SouthPark this spring, expect a crowd waiting to sample its zesty ceviches, vaca frita, Cubanos, rum punch, daiquiris and more.

INTOWN GOLF

The new “private social club to golfers” is sure to be a hot spot when it opens in SouthPark. Intown Golf launched in 2020 in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood with golf simulators, custom club fitting, golf instruction, a restaurant and cocktail bar. If local fervor for the sport during last year’s Presidents Cup is any indication, memberships will be in high demand.

RESTAURANT CONSTANCE

Chef Sam Diminich reinvented himself in the pandemic, launching Your Farms Your Table, a catering and meal-delivery service offering local farm-to-table three-course meals. Last summer, he debuted a line of sauces and vinaigrettes and partnered with McLeod Addictive Disease Center to provide nourishing meals to recovering addicts. As if he’s not busy enough, Diminich plans to open Restaurant Constance, named after his daughter, in early 2023 in Wesley Heights.

ROSEMONT MARKET AND WINE BAR

The team behind The Crunkleton and Cheat’s Cheesesteak Parlor are going all-in on Elizabeth, opening an all-day restaurant and market with grab-and-go meals at the new Elizabeth on Seventh development from Crescent Communities. Last fall, Axios Charlotte also reported the Crunkleton team plans to open a new Mexican restaurant in the former Stanley space on 7th Street.

OPENTAP

The craft beer and wine bar near the intersection of Carmel and Pineville-Matthews roads will provide a much-needed community hub for south Charlotte. OpenTap will offer 64 self-pouring taps (including craft sodas) in a 7,500-square-foot family-friendly space with a shade garden, a tree house mezzanine and a village green.

RALLY PICKLEBALL

The pickleball craze shows no signs of slowing, and a new sports complex in Lower South End is certain to be a popular gathering spot for both novice and seasoned picklers. Rally is targeting a spring opening. SP
