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?

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

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)

OK, I can do a Sunday night, and like MacMoose said, there is not an age limit, since it is also a restaurant.

How does Sunday, March 2 sound to everyone?

Let me know

I guess I'm spoiled because Asheville doesn't allow smoking in restaurants and bars without a separate area with separate HVAC, so we don't have "smokey" conditions. Any place down that way that is lung-friendly?

There are a couple of places that are smoke free. I'll contact Ri Ra's to see if they have a non-smoking section.

In Asheville?? I don't know.

March 2? I'll see if I can.

Sunday night, the music starts at 7 pm, usually wraps up around 9, 9:30... there are no pool tables or dartboards at Ri Ras, but if we are so inclined, the Fox and Fiddle is just up the road.

The Acme Celi band will be playing that night, they are the usual band that is in on Sundays, and they are great. I'm sure we will be treated to some special tunes for the occasion.

Here's a link to the pub's webpage..

Sorry, no Smoke Free areas at Ri Ras, but on Sundays, it is pretty good, air quality-wise. I am a non-smoker, and pretty sensitive to smoke, and i have no problems.
