Charlotte's outdoor scene is one of its most underused date assets. South End's LYNX Light Rail line is flanked by craft breweries — Sycamore Brewing, Unknown Brewing, Three Spirits Brewery — making it easy to hop between stops. Pair that with a patio dinner and a rooftop wind-down and you have a date that costs less than a movie ticket and lasts all day.
