| - With Epicentre opening up, Cans is a whole lot different than before. I hadn't been back here since all of the new Charlotte bars opened up, so I was really surprised at how much things had changed.
I used to dread going to Cans, from the mass abundance of meat heads, to not being able to move around in the place. It seemed like they always let way too many people in to actually enjoy yourself once inside. Well that's not the case anymore, as Epicentre has basically cleared this place out. Last Saturday night, & apparently it's become the usual, there was no one there. It almost seemed dead, but maybe that's because I'm comparing it to old times. You could actually move around the place, not worrying about bumping into someone.
Everything else seems to be the same, other than no line to get in & no cover. For some reason the patio up top was closed, so that was disappointing, but the downstairs was open. Not sure if they've always had beer pong & pool tables down there, but it seemed like a good time.
As for the drinks, it's still the same with only tall boys in cans being served, so don't expect anything crazy in the beer department. I'm not sure about the specials, but the prices didn't seem too outrageous.
So if you haven't checked out Cans lately since Epicentre opened, & hated it like me, then check it out now because it is totally different. The place seems very mellow now, bordering on a dead crowd. It never impressed me before, but at least now you actually have some space to move around.
