With this sleek bar’s late-night menu cooking up food until 2 AM nightly, The Public House is the perfect spot to go for food and fun later in the evening. We love their Flank Steak as well as the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich that comes with crispy fries and a killer dusting of seasoning that takes the flavor over the top. The Public House also offers darts, shuffleboard and indoor Bocce to enjoy along with your after-hours meal.

For a hearty meal, this Korean-fusion late-night spot is a good bet.

The Degenerate

This swanky bar is a great dinner spot to try at the end of the night for its shared plate menu. We love a good Charcuterie Plate and the one at The Degenerate doesn’t disappoint. But more non-traditional share plates like the Churrasco Steak, Pan Seared Duck and fried Banana Peppers that come with a side of ranch for dipping will hit the spot when a late-night craving hits.

Classic diners are always go-to spots for snagging a meal around (or after) the midnight hour, and the Redeye Diner is one of our favorite choices in Charlotte. You can’t go wrong with the Shrimp and Grits here or the Chicken and Waffles. If you are feeling extra hungry, the “Thumbs Up” Coconut Crunch French Toast or the Brunch Burger are both guaranteed to fill your belly with a hearty, delicious meal.

When comfort food is on your mind and the hour is late, head to the Moosehead Grill for a food fix that will leave your tastebuds screaming. The crazy-good wing sauces like the honey and habanero Bee Stings and the Hemo-Goblins made with ghost peppers will light up your late-night tastebuds. But you can also snag an order of Chili, Clam Chowdah, or even Yard Bird chicken Nachos to satisfy your after-hours hunger.
Lucky Lou’s Tavern

This neighborhood bar is already a great place to watch the game and play pool over a few drinks. But Lucky Lou’s is also the perfect late-night nosh spot in Charlotte if you are craving wings since they offer over a dozen sauce flavors to choose from. Karaoke night is a local favorite, but stick around afterwards to nibble on Lucky’s signature Olde World Fish and Chips or the popular Rye Ruben sandwich.

You might not realize that this dance club also serves up tasty food until the late hours, but it is the perfect spot to try when you want a great meal long past the traditional dinner hour. Cloud Southend has a nightly DJ and a packed dancefloor, but don’t let that keep you from ordering one of their delicious menu items like the Low Country Lobster Roll or some Fried Salmon Sliders. For a real treat, add in the Seafood Mac, loaded with five kinds of cheese for a hearty traditional dish with a southern seafood twist.
