We
were originally going to go to The Red Lion as I had a coupon AND I
heard they were the Browns Backers club to go in Charlotte. However,
after reading reviews on Yelp.com
(thank you Yelp!), it turns out they show the Browns games only
sometimes..depending on who comes into the bar or if they are expecting
Panthers fans. There's nothing wrong with having the Panthers game on
as well, but DO NOT Promote yourself as a Browns Backers organization.
Luckily I heard about Strike City at EpiCentre. Uptown, posh bowling
alley..really? Well, they ARE the official OSU Buckeyes club in
Charlotte so..let's give it a shot. We rode the Light Rail and had a
(always) delicious brunch at Mert's first to fill us up on a decent
meal.
Then we walked over to EpiCentre and were amazed at the HUGE bar/bowling area. There were so many screens (over 50?!) playing every game on. Unfortunately where we were seated was not going to work out well for viewing the Browns game but, ahh, we'd make the best of it. After I asked the waitress if there was a better way to see the game, she directed us to the BACK ROOM where we met all the other Browns fans in our own private room! It was awesome! AND, I asked the waitress if one of the TVs turned to another game could be switched to the Panthers and they happily obliged. The bonus was every time the Browns scored, they came around with free shots for everyone lol! Stephen and the Browns Backers at Strike City rock! Highly recommended. We had a blast.
