South End

Standing where Camden Rd and Tremont Ave meet you will find this great view of Uptown.

South End is getting a new dive bar that's completely music-themed and specializes in craft cocktails! VINYL is located in between VANA and Wooden Robot off South Tryon.

They offer an outdoor patio, a groovy dive bar atmosphere, drinks, and small plates with flavors from all over the world.

This place is clearly called VINYL for a reason since they have a TON of actual vinyls stacked up all throughout the bar. Check out this video that shows what it's like inside, from their Instagram @vinylclt:

Axios Charlotte got to visit and they shared some of the currently featured drinks and food specials. Out of these three VINYL cocktails, which would you most want to try first?

  • Jenny from the Block — rye whiskey, vermouth, bitters
  • Big Poppa — vodka, spiced orange cordial, lime, salted caramel coffee-infused amaro
  • Superstition — vodka, campari, kahlua, yellow chartreuse, bitters

Cocktails vary from around $12 - $15. Meanwhile, the food looks so awesome too! Vinyl serves shared plates, burgers, sandwiches, and more! Out of everything, I'd love to try their Latin Street Corn ($8) with cilantro, Tajin, and tortilla chips. Oooh, and the Falafel Bites ($10) that come with arugula, lemon vinaigrette and a Greek yogurt sauce.

Check out VINYL for their soft opening starting TONIGHT (5/4) through Saturday 5/7 at 1440 S. Tryon St., Ste. 105. They'll be open from 5 pm until 2 am.

Who hasn't had a good rom-com movie marathon in a while? I feel like I'll go a few months without seeing any romance movies, and then suddenly I want to watch ALL of them!

Actually, when I was a kid and I started watching cute romance movies like Ella Enchanted and A Walk to Remember, I absolutely LOVED them. And if you're like me, your favorite trope in a romance book or movie is the enemies-to-lovers plotline. Man...I really want my life to have an enemies-to-lovers plotline LOL!

Until then, though, I put together 21 of my personal favorite enemies-to-lovers films. Now, there are lots of variety throughout those 21. Some are my all-time favs that I used to watch as a kid, so they're more catered towards kids. If you enjoyed watching Bridgerton, there are also some historical romance films like Pride & Prejudice.

Lots of these, you should know, are from the 90s and early 2000s. And if you were wondering (because I know you were), my favorite actress in romance movies has to be Julia Stiles. ESPECIALLY with enemies-to-lovers. I mean, come on, 10 Things I Hate About You??? Yep, it's on here. I've also got two more starring her, which you definitely should start with if you've never seen them. Save The Last Dance is one of them, and the other is The Prince & Me.

Check out the list to see if your favorite rom-com is also one of my favorites :-) If you want even more enemies-to-lovers, check out the entire list on IMDB.
