Howl At The Moon
210 E. Trade St.
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 936-4695
www.howlatthemoon.com

One of the hot spots at the Epicentre is Howl At The Moon. One of its premiere attractions is its dueling piano bar. It involves two pianos, two pianists and a crowd of rabid fans calling for their favorite songs. Toast the music with a bucket of Hurricanes – three kinds of rum (including Bacardi 151), grenadine, orange juice and pineapple – or try a bucket of Bomb Pops – blue raspberry vodka, tropical punch vodka, lemon-lime soda and sour mix. You'll have a fabulous time and get a little umbrella to adorn your glass. The dueling pianos are especially great for group celebrations, including college reunions and visiting out-of-town guests.

Music-loving Charlotteans have thousands of reasons to enjoy The Evening Muse. This corner spot in the NoDa section of Charlotte showcases original independent music acts. The musical options at the Muse include Americana, blues, folk, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, R&B and, of course, singer-songwriter. The Muse hosts only original bands, not cover bands, so it's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy real musicians playing their own creations. There is a great selection of beer and wine to savor while listening to top-notch musicians in a small venue.
