Here in Chicago we have plenty of BYOB restaurants, but nothing can top the experience of Charlotte's Common Market. I have fond memories of my visits to the Common Market over the years. March of '05 was my first visit. There, I purchased my first bottle of Pom and my first bottle of wine. On that same day, I learned that filling an empty Pom bottle with red wine makes for a perfect disguise. Since then, I always make it a point to rally some friends together and head here to drink in their quaint courtyard. Not only is the beer and wine selection incredible, and not only do they provide glasses for you to immediately begin drinking, they also have an fantastic community board that can help guide an outsider to the best nightlife in the city.
