Happy Holidays, fam! 
Hope you’re enjoying whatever you celebrate — food, family, fun, or just some well-earned peace. I spent mine out in Charlotte, NC with the fam (much needed), and you know I had to tap into the nightlife while I was out there.

If you're from the 5, love hip-hop, love to travel, and love a good time when you go out…
Here are the spots you gotta hit next time you’re in Charlotte:

➡️ IMPERIAL — Cozy, Crazy Energy

Small spot but big vibe. The bouncers pat you down like TSA, but once you're inside?
🔥 Big video wall
🔥 Grass walls
🔥 DJ going absolutely nuts
Cover was around $10 — worth every dollar.

➡️ XOXO/Encore — The Outta-Town Experience

If you want to feel like you just stepped into a music video:
✨ Video walls + columns
✨ Baddie bottle servers
✨ High energy all night
Didn’t pay cover (don’t ask 😂) but guessing around $20.
This is my #1 recommendation if you want a real Charlotte club night.

➡️ VINYL — The Fun One

More of a big bar than a club, but honestly?
The funnest place in Charlotte.
No cover, but the line stacks FAST — I usually go later.
Every time I’ve been here, I’ve had a blast. Zero misses.

If y’all want more travel recs, tap in — you know I got you.
Big love to the whole 805 community. Let’s close the year strong. ❤️🔥
