NC Music Factory

Charlotte's hottest music and entertainment district! The best concerts, pubs, clubs and restaurants in the QC! It's all happening NOW!  Tonight, you can have whatever you like. In the mood for a variety of local beers and a delicious bratwurst? Stop by VBGB Beer Hall & Garden and play a round of giant chess, ping pong, or oversized connect 4. If you like top-of-the-line sound and top-of-the-line musical acts, the Fillmore Charlotte and Uptown Amphitheatre bring some of the most desired performers at every level of the concert circuit to the Factory regularly throughout the year! After a show, lounge within the unparalleled Americana interior and order a beer or cocktail from the unrivaled waitstaff at Automatic Slims.  On many holidays and throughout the summer, the intimate outdoor Fountain Plaza is abuzz with concerts, parties, and benefits, notably our Friday LIVE! at the Factory summer concert series. The Plaza is also surrounded by six bars, clubs and restaurants. Like stand-up? Come to the Comedy Zone, where comics of all kinds grace the stage and take pot shots at the audiences all week long. Like smoothies and smooth music? The selection at Wet Willie's leaves nothing to be desired! If you need to take your special someone out for a lavish meal, Osso's unique menu and interior are exactly what you’re looking for. Are you the clubbing kind? Head to Label, where everyone from DJ Complete to Calvin Harris rocks the house on the regular, and the exclusive Ivory Lounge within represents the finest in upscale club interiors. But if you’re looking for something a little lighter, head over to Mattie's Diner for some meatloaf and a milkshake on your way to the Small Bar, where you can get an affordable bottle of beer and enjoy the weather on the patio. And of course, the Music Factory’s own Silver Hammer Studios is home to premier events like Bartender’s Ball, Queen City Brewer’s Festival, 2nd String Santa, All Ale to the Queen, and many others. Whatever you may prefer when it’s time to go play, the Music Factory’s got you covered.
