Fun on 5th!
Experience the breadth of what Charlotte has to offer on 5th Street in the heart of Uptown! Whether a quick after work drink or a Friday night out, 5th Street has some of the best bars to offer in Charlotte. Only a block from the iconic Uptown Epicenter, the 5th street entertainment sector is an ideal location to experience the unequivocal amusement of Charlotte, NC.
The 5th Street Entertainment is confined between N. Church Street and Time Warner Cable Arena is the geographic center of the City. Spanning a stretch of over 3 blocks, the well-known establishments sit, adjacent to each other offering a surplus supply to visitor far and wide. The main-stays of the 
Street include Dandelion Market, the exemplary Roxbury Nightclub, Connolly's on 5th, Fitzgerald's, Prohibition, famous for its "college nights," and Sip. From the relaxed environment of Dandelion Market to the all-out roar of Prohibition, 5th Street offers an incredibly large variety of crowd pleasing establishments depending on the mood of its visitors.
Dandelion Market is first and foremost an Italian Restaurant, and it is not until Friday night that the formidable restaurant is transformed into a quasi-nightclub, offering over 20 beers on tap and nightly drink specials for those with richer tastes. The experience is unique in that while dance motivated music is played, the atmosphere still maintains a relaxed environment and is well-recommended after a grueling week of work. Adjacent to "The Market," is the famous Roxbury Night Club. Be transported back to the days of classic rock while you dance the night away at this 80's and 90's themed bar. Opened Thursday night-Saturday night, the two level center of entertainment is among the most well known Charlotte bars because they only play 80's and 90's music. They also offer nightly drink specials and have a variety of beers and cocktails to choose from.
Just a short walk up to the corner of 5th and Tryon, and we find Sip and Prohibition joined at the hip. Sip is a split level bar offering a dance floor in the basement and a full service bar and grill on the 
main floor. Prohibition, on the other hand, is located in the attic and has been a popular destination for college students looking to experience the nightlife of the City. This 1920's Prohibition themed bar is by far the most diverse offering a variety of events throughout the year. These include Halloween parties, New Year's celebrations, and a multitude of other events celebrating the bar, the city, and its people. Both Sip and Prohibition offer nightly drink specials with a strong selection of beer and cocktails alike. Connolly's on 5th neighbors Sip and Prohibition and is known for its live bands, sprawling outdoor patio, sports TV, and everyone's favorite; ping pong. This bar and grill maybe small but it has become an extremely popular Irish Pub due to its many activities offered besides dancing.
Before arriving at the Time Warner Cable arena, Fitzgerald's is located near the corner of 5th and N. College Street. Fitzgerald's adds a unique facet to Uptown night life. This tavern style Irish pub offers classic grub and eats in a sports filled atmosphere. The full service bar is opened daily and serves its many different types of foods throughout the week and weekend. This culmination of sports, great food, and weekend frivolity makes Fitzgerald's a classic Uptown center of entertainment.
The 5th Street Entertainment zone if among the most unique in the city, offering locals and guests alike an escape from the mundane activities of everyday life. From the fun of Prohibition to the throw-back of Roxbury's, 5th Street has something for everyone looking for a great night out. Come and experience for yourself this next weekend the Fun on 5th!
