In my opinion the Visualite has the best shows in Charlotte. This place isn't large but they consistenly book solid acts. The inside is dark with a large wooden bar and there is tons of seating considering it is such a small space- there is open space in front of the stage for dancing, etc. Look for shows like STS9 or Robert Randolph, plus a good number of other jam bands, bluegrass, and reggae acts. Don't miss it when they show Panther's games during the playoffs.
