Charlotte, NC Kilt Night, seeing who's interested

**Jake_S** · 12th February 08, 08:20 PM

I'm trying to see what interest (if any) in a kilt night in the Charlotte, NC area.

All that want to get together please respond, and if there is more than myself, we'll set a date and time.

Aye, count me in, and likely a friend or two.

Me!! When is it?? Dates, places.... is it a bar??

sharpdressedscot, I have not got that far into the planning, just wanted to see if anyone else wanted to meet up.

I am open to suggestions, we can make this a committee style decision. I live in Rock Hill, so something in center or south Charlotte would work better for me, and a bar or a restaurant will work equally well.

Maybe Ri Ra's?

OK, so the tally so far is:
Myself
sharpdressedscot
Macmoose and maybe a few of his buds.

Let's get some more Kilted Carolinians and have a real kilt night!

I might be able to make it...depends on the date. Friday nights work best for me.

**Jake_S** · 13th February 08, 09:47 AM

Friday nights work well for me also, so do Saturdays.

So, if everyone can chime in on the night of the week that works best, I'm thinking of Friday, since I work just north of Charlotte.

Are there any objections to having it at Ri Ra's?

Just checked their web site. I hate navigating in downtown Charlotte, but this place looks like a good excuse to go there.

Is there an age limit, it's a bar... I'm not quite 21...

**MacMoose** · 14th February 08, 06:11 AM

I am a regular patron of Ri Ras, and know the staff well, I will check into the age limit question. I do know that Friday nights are very busy there, and there is a DJ on Friday nights, so there will be a cover charge. The place will be packed, and pretty smokey. Saturday nights is live music night, so again, a cover charge and a full house.
An option might be Sunday night. There is a Celtic jam, no admission, and no age limit. I go often,the music is excellent, lots of fun, and nowhere near as crowded.
Other places to consider...

- The Galway Hooker in Lake Norman.
- Sir Edmund Halley's, Park Rd./Woodlawn area.
- The Flying Saucer, University area. (though there might be an age issue there as well)
