A restaurant called The Gin Mill operates on site and gives advance ticket holders a discount on food.
Bar Fly takes over the rooftop deck above Room Service at Camp North End on weekend nights, from the same founder.

The drinks list runs to cocktails, wine, sangria, beer and rotating slushies.
Bradshaw is the neighborhood-bar choice when you want a burger, wings or a game on TV. Its covered patio gives groups another place to sit. The weekly calendar includes trivia, music bingo, live-band karaoke and Friday music, with DJs on Saturdays. Later visits can be lively, so check the lineup if you are choosing between a conversation over dinner and a night of music.

Hestia turns dinner into an occasion above Ballantyne Village. Sushi, seafood and Japanese A5 Wagyu share the menu with cocktails and a view across South Charlotte. The terrace is the draw when the weather cooperates. Full dinner service requires a reservation; the cocktail bar and uncovered patio accept walk-ins for drinks and small bites. Dressy casual or business casual fits the room, and athletic wear is not permitted.
