From the Charlotte Observer:

Former LaVecchia's manager Jim Emad opens his new bar and restaurant next month in the Charlotte Plaza building's old Tower Club, it will give the public its first tower-top view since the 30th Edition went out of business in 1998.

It's called Bentley's Restaurant On 27, and a private "Hard Hat" party is set for Sept. 9, Emad's wife, Kay, said.

The restaurant, which will specialize in French-American cuisine, will open to the public later in September. It's got three fireplaces, window-side seating and will feature a live piano player on weekends

Taking up two-thirds of the building's top floor, it offers a 270-degree panoramic view of the Charlotte skyline from Trade Street to College Street.

What are the prices?!

I'm sure it will not be cheap.

Yeah, my bets were on you saying that, LOL!  In Chicago they have a restaurant in the John Hancock near the top that is expensive during peak times, but they serve an all-you-can-eat buffet for lunch for only like $8.  Would love something like that in Charlotte!  Heck, I'd like to have an observation deck somewhere in Charlotte...

Back in 1994...for a week they had a bar up on the 50th floor of the BofA tower for the Final Four...I was too young at the time to go to it.
