Welcome to the QC, Crown Town, the 704. For better or worse, home of DaBaby, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and Bojangles. What we lack in sports teams (except our men’s and women’s soccer clubs!), we make up with outdoor drinking spots. We encourage you to explore our city by visiting a few of our favorite places during your visit. Each is a short ride from uptown and public transportation is available via the Lynx Blue and Gold lines. Click below to see our spots on a map!
