The tour hits the perfect balance between lively and laid-back. You can bring your own drinks, stop at great local bars and breweries, and enjoy the ride with friends, or make a few new ones along the way. The setup works just as well for small groups as it does for celebrations, making it perfect for birthdays, work outings, or any excuse to have a good time. If you are new to the city or just visiting this is a great way to explore and learn. I've gone for my own birthday, for friends' birthdays, work trip and even just for fun, every single time has been a blast. Note that you have the option to peddle and drink and that the seats are unique and you will need to wear a seatbelt. They do offer to seats on a bench if you would prefer a more riding experience. If you're looking for something a little different, grab your favorite drinks, gather your crew, and hop aboard Brew Peddlers. And if you can, ask for Will, he's the best.

But one evening in downtown Charlotte, I had to fend for myself and "rough it" in search of dinner within walking distance of my hotel. Enter Ink N Ivy. From the moment I walked in, the place struck a nice balance -- lively without being chaotic, stylish without trying too hard. I was greeted warmly and promptly seated in a booth, exactly as requested. My server appeared almost instantly with a Diet Coke, plenty of ice, and the all-important lemon. A professional already. For dinner, I ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer along with the salmon salad, making the only sensible culinary adjustment possible: swapping goat cheese for blue cheese. The food arrived quickly and, to my delight, was genuinely excellent. The Brussels sprouts were crispy, flavorful, and addictive -- though I couldn't help thinking a light balsamic drizzle might have elevated them from "very good" to "food critic dramatically closes notebook in approval" territory. But who am I to challenge what is clearly a guarded house formula? The salmon salad was enormous, fresh, and beautifully balanced, while the candied pecans deserved their own standing ovation. Sweet, crunchy, and dangerously snackable. Now, the service itself was terrific, but the true standout of the evening -- and something rarely mentioned in reviews -- was the busboy. Dining alone gives you time to observe the rhythm of a restaurant, and this young man was the heartbeat of the operation. The second a table opened up, he moved with urgency and purpose, clearing and cleaning everything meticulously while somehow remaining calm, polite, and professional. I spoke with him briefly, and he left a bigger impression on me than many managers I've encountered over the years. He clearly took immense pride in his work, and it showed. Given the opportunity, I have no doubt he could succeed in a much larger role someday. Every restaurant has staff members keeping the machine running behind the scenes -- this young man was "that guy." Glad I stopped in. Good food, great vibe, welcoming atmosphere, and one unforgettable member of the staff.

We were seated right away but waited 20 mins to be recognized by a waitress. We ordered basic wings, shrimp and fries platters with side of okra. The shrimp platter was fine but the wings came out with the wrong sauce and had to be sent back and the okra was cold. As we seat there we observed a customer come from outside on the patio to pick up their own drink off the bar. We observed the bartender vaping behind the bar. Yuck!!! We had to request the manager and he did take the okra off the bill but really had no answer to what we observed. I don't believe I will be back anytime soon, there are just too many other restaurants in the Charlotte Uptown area more deserving of my money.

I ordered a large pep pizza (that was half off) and a "hog" sampler. The mozzarella sticks are very long. They were fresh but slightly overcooked and flavorless, honestly. The cheese on top was almost pointless as it didn't add flavor and it fell off immediately. The quesadilla was tasty. The garlic parm wings were crispy and cooked well but the sauce was different... it wasn't nasty but not what was expected. After a conversation with the waitress, she knew it was different. In these cases, I believe the servers should tell customers that versus letting them find out after the fact. The pizza came at 9:30pm and tbh, it wasn't the best lol. It was mainly for the boys and they ate it with no issues. It was subpar to me and I was disappointed. The service was inconsistent with attentiveness which was another bummer considering it wasn't busy at all. It's unlikely I would return.
