EpiCentre, Charlotte mixed-use Entertainment Complex

Many have been wondering what type of business and establishments will be moving into the new epicentre here in charlotte. The 267,000 square feet of real estate will nest between 40-50 shops and restraints. Ghazi reports the complex is almost fully leased.

Restaurant tenants run the gamut from Five Guys Burgers, Smoothy King, Bruegger's Bagels, Flying Biscuit, Shane’s Rib Shack and The Fudgery. Several high-end eateries include Cantina Laredo, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar and Bella Vista Restaurant and Lounge. There will also be an 18 lane bowling alley and a five-screen movie theater.

Bars and clubs will abound. The Rooftop Terrace is a 16,000-square-foot lounge, which will host concerts and private parties. Suite is a Top 40 club. BlackFinn Restaurant & Saloon is an Irish-themed pub. And Howl at the Moon will feature dueling pianos and singalongs. And for the sports fans there will be Whiskey River, a country music and rock-and-roll bar owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. (update) we actually had some friends stop by Whiskey River and they were severely disappointed. And we quote “you would actually think you would have a vast selection of whiskey at Whiskey River, but you didn’t. All you had was a bunch of male NASCAR fans and no women. Take your money across the street to Mimosa where the scenery is much better and they server something other than warm beer.”
