| - Having been to the Wet Willie's in both Charleston and Savannah, I was pretty excited to see one open in Charlotte. They serve food, but to me this is a "drinks only" type of place. They primarily serve ready-mixed daiquiris, but you can also create your own by mixing flavors. When you walk in, you will see about 30 machines behind the bar with names like "Call a Cab", "Mind Eraser", and the usual suspects like "Sex on the Beach" and margaritas. I had a "Call a Cab" which is made with 190 grain alcohol so obviously it is super strong. The alcohol actually burned my throat a little bit. As the name says, you don't want to drink this if you're driving afterwards.
The layout of this Wet Willie's is actually nicer than the ones in Savannah and Chucktown. There is a small stage where dj's and bands can set up, complete with a dancefloor, plus a patio in front and one in the back overlooking the amphitheater, There is also a nice little room in the back with couches, seats, and tvs where you can relax.
So, if you happen to be at the NC Music Factory for anything, dip into Wet Willie's for a frozen concoction.
