“We’re thrilled to bring the Charlotte community our take on a neighborhood commonplace where visitors can make memories over good food and drink”
— Brian Lewis
Laid-Back Ambiance will Feature a Lounge Area, Diner and Airy Patio
BOCADO Bar + Diner will honor the same seasonally driven and locally sourced food menu as the Atlanta staple with an added diner approach and aesthetic. Open for brunch, lunch, happy hour, dinner and late night, guests to the new location can expect to find BOCADO’s iconic double burger stack (praised by Forbes, Thrillist and The AJC) and favorites like House-Made Pasta Carbonara with dry-aged ribeye, Southern Shrimp with stone ground grits and Tuna Crudo with pickled jalapeno and roasted garden broccoli on the menu, alongside new dishes like Kibbee, a traditional Lebanese dish that owner Brian Lewis adapted from his grandmother, served with yolky eggs and house made pita bread or Avocado Toast and sopa with braised blackbean paste and fried egg.
Described as a “new Southern American bar + diner,” most ingredients for dishes served on Bocado Bar + Diner’s all-day menu will be sourced locally or made in-house. Raw oysters, a seafood tower, chilaquiles and more will be introduced each day during happy hour and late night hours.
At the bar, elevated classic cocktails will compliment the house menu. Guests can enjoy a refreshing cocktail on the breezy patio at brunch or a boozy stirred classic to close the evening out. A broad selection of smartly curated wine and local beers on draft will accompany the bar offerings.
BOCADO Bar + Diner’s design details will maintain the history of the structure with modern updates that intersect. Also in store for the new space is a large outdoor patio with year round use and views of the Rail Trail.
