ARTICLE WESLEY BROWN

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST NEED A GUY'S NIGHT OUT, A TIME TO CATCH UP WITH YOUR BUDS OVER A COUPLE OF BREWS AND A GOOD MEAL. Now, we recognize that Charlotte is teeming with cool bars and eateries perfect for such a night, but the best outing requires a specific set of elements: a rustic brewery to ring in the night, a meaty meal to set the stomach, and an after-hours escape to wash it all down with a good cocktail.

Check, check and check. We've rounded up your itinerary for your next guy's night out, drinks and dines included.

HOT SPOT (CON TI N U ED)

01.

Begin the night at Plaza Midwood's popular fledgling brewery, Resident Culture. The roomy, rustically industrial interior opens seamlessly onto the sprawling patio and beer garden via garage doors, so it feels like you're drinking in a (much cooler) version of your man cave. There's lots of IPAs on draft for you hop-heads, and for the adventurous imbibers, nose-tickling wild beers and sours coming soon from the coolship, Charlotte's only openair tank for spontaneous fermentation.

Residentculture.com

02.

As every man knows, a night out on an empty stomach only leads to trouble. That means it's time to head to your dinner destination, Kickstand Burger Bar, where the burgers are big—and so is the beer list. Just around the corner from your first stop, the Plaza Midwood gem does all things "craft:" beer (lots of local brews to choose from), cocktails (especially classics like a Dark and Stormy or Boulevardier), and burgers, which come with tons of build-your-own, stacked-high options.

cigars, and pass hours in intellectual conversation. The Ritz-Carlton's Punch Room harbors that feeling of old-world gentility with world-class cocktails. For something sweet, try one of their signature punches (hence the name), but they also do the classics. Feeling fancy? Try the The $400 Cocktail: Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac, Byrrh, Sassafras & Sorghum Bitters. All pair well with long conversations on the leather sofas.

the community Builder Steve Onxley Owner, Onxley Architecture Charlotte is a beautiful city, and the architectural creations of Steve Onxley sit like perfect puzzle pieces in our skyline. His firm, Onxley Architecture, has garnered laudations for projects like Sovereign Grace Church and a preservation award for Central Elementary School in Albemarle. “I really enjoy helping a client realize their vision for their project and sharing the client’s delight in experiencing the beauty and proper utilization of their built space,” says the architect.

When Onxley isn’t busy shaping our skyline, he’s shaping the community that resides within it and the city that he loves through the Rotary, as a longtime member of the YMCA and an officer of Christ Covenant Church, and as the Charter Organization Representative for Trail Life USA Troop 413. When asked for advice, his words are simple, yet revelatory: “Put your family first in making decisions concerning where you should live and how you should play.”

the businessman Frank Aylward Owner, Blue Haven Pools “No matter what you do, personally and professionally, if you can take enjoyment from it and pride in it, you've found the secret to a life well lived.” So says Frank Aylward, owner of Blue Haven Pools. They’re words to live by for Aylward, who’s created both a living for his family and a booming business from his passion for pools. When asked about his favorite part of his job, for instance, he replies, “Seeing a plain, grass backyard transformed to a showplace with a spectacular pool. Large or small, adding a pool turns a yard into a vacation spot!”

Aylward loves Charlotte, its warm climate and Southern hospitality, and loves giving back to our city through donations to Shriners, local athletics, and firefighter and police associations. That sounds like a life well lived, indeed.

KINGS OF THE QUEEN CITY

(CON TI N U ED)

the pa s s i o n at e charlottean Bob Morgan President and CEO, Charlotte Chamber of Commerce Like many Charlotteans, Bob Morgan is passionate about our city. But Morgan doesn’t just wear Panthers blue on Sundays and harbor a penchant for Price’s chicken, he’s actually helped shape the present and future of our city for the past 27 years. As President and CEO of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, Morgan has been instrumental in forging Charlotte’s path forward. “It’s been my home since I was 6 years old, and it has provided unbelievable opportunities for my family and me,” he says of his allegiance to the Queen City.

Morgan divides his time between the city, his family, and giving back through the Boy Scouts of America.

His sage words of wisdom are ones he’s followed himself as a hallmark in our community: “Be passionate about whatever it is you do.”

the people person Winston Kelley Executive Director, NASCAR Hall of Fame In 2010, the NASCAR Hall of Fame chose Charlotte— and Executive Director Winston Kelley understands why. “The people here overwhelmingly have such a positive, can-do spirit and make up innumerable partnerships that exist throughout our community to make it such a special place to live and work,” he says.

Kelley gives back generously to the city he loves so much, through boards like the North Carolina Motorsports Foundation (as chairman), North Carolina Motorsports Association and 600 Festival. He’s also been instrumental in establishing the new NASCAR Hall of Fame Education Foundation: “Our focus will be to leverage the strong STEM-based educational programs we have at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and to raise funds to assist students with gaining a competitive edge that best equips them for life and drives their future success by providing them access to authentic educational opportunities at the Hall of Fame."

“I chose Estate Planning/Administration and Elder Law because these areas of the law provide me the opportunity to make a positive difference for people,” Leddy expalins. "Everyone has an estate plan: you either get to decide how your assets are disposed (by either a will or trust) or the state gets to decide how your assets are disposed (through probate and intestacy).”

Off the job, it’s his Jeep that calls to Leddy. “When I was a kid, my parents bought me a toy red Jeep. My first Jeep was coincidentally a red 2006 Jeep Wrangler X,” he says. When his family grew (he recently welcomed a daughter), so did his Jeep. “It's big enough for my entire family (three dogs included) and I can take it anywhere. I've driven my Jeep on the beach, taken her out to Uwharrie, and I have no issue driving when the weather conditions aren't easy.”

PARTING THOUGHTS ARTICLE RONI FISHKIN

ADVENTURES OFF THE BEATEN PATH BOLD, ADVENTUROUS TRAVELERS KNOW THE REWARDS ARE WORTH THE EXTRA EFFORT OF FINDING A PLACE OFF THE BEATEN PATH. Here are a few noteworthy ideas of fascinating places to vacation if you have an intrepid spirit.

01 CAMELS AND SAND DUNES The rolling desert dunes of the Sahara in Morocco create a landscape unlike any other. Travelers to Morocco can leave the bustle of the markets and mosques to spend time under the desert’s starry sky. Camp with Bedouins, ride camels, or hike in the Atlas Mountains.

Spend the day trekking, and then retire for the evening at one of the luxury hotels—a perfect oasis for the courageous traveler.

02 POLAR VOYAGES Antarctica may be the final frontier, but a luxury yacht experience can turn the unique trip into a six-star experience. The pristine beauty, fascinating wildlife and uninhabited landscape make this a dream trip for bold travelers. Discovery yachts are equipped with submarine vessels and helicopters to make the exploration both easy and exciting. Combined with kayaking, snowshoeing and zodiac excursions, it’s the trip of a lifetime.

03 BIG FIVE, FIVE STAR If you find yourself in the middle of the African bush in Kruger National Park, it doesn’t mean foregoing creature comforts. Vacationers spend their days on private Jeep game drives with experienced trackers, then come home to the kind of luxury experience you would expect at a 5-star hotel.

04 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH Intrepid travelers know they don’t have to leave the U.S. to have a memorable experience. National Parks such as Yellowstone, Bryce, Zion, and the Grand Canyon all offer out-of-the-ordinary experiences for those willing to head off the beaten path.

As always, the advice of a good travel professional can take the guesswork out of vacation planning. Off–the-beaten-path can still mean safe, reliable and trustworthy with the proper advance work!

MORE ACCESS, MORE STORAGE, MORE JOY! ShelfGenie® of Charlotte designs, manufactures and installs custom Glide-Out™ shelving solutions that improve your home and make life easier. We believe comfort is much more than cozy chairs and down feather pillows. For us, and our clients, it’s about being able to access, store, and organize your home. We know it’s frustrating when you can’t find the baking soda or the cookie sheet - or worse, when you can see it but not reach it. But that’s where we come in.

ShelfGenie is a nationwide company that has been providing custom solutions to common frustrations for over 20 years. Making our clients’ lives easier is important to us, and we’re thrilled to bring more happiness into their homes along the way.

ACCESSIBILITY

Your kitchen should make you happy. It shouldn’t be frustrating to make new recipes or spur-of-the-moment cupcakes, or to host unforgettable dinner parties. Streamline your space and improve access - no more awkward bending and twisting.

STORAGE

Making a sandwich should be easy. But if you can’t see the peanut butter, reach the jelly, or grab the bread without knocking things over, it’s just not.

Transform your pantry and increase storage space by up to 50%.

ORGANIZATION

Just because your bathroom has a garden tub doesn’t mean it’s helping you refresh. With clutter around, it’s hard to unwind - let alone find the soap.

At ShelfGenie, we know organization makes “me time” better. So relax.

$200 OFF YOUR ORDER * *Applies to purchases of 6 or more Classic or Designer Glide-Out™ shelves.

Lifetime warranty valid for Classic or Designer Solutions. Learn more at shelfgenie.com.

Expires 7/31/2018.
