CLUB EVENTS

"Lobster Night is the best!" - Joanna G., Member Since 2010

The Charlotte City Club arranges a wide variety of social and networking events, bringing members together over shared interests and experiences. The social calendar is thoughtfully organized to reflect the diverse interests of our members with events centering around culture, art, sports, professional enrichments, and, of course, food and drink.

Winemaker's dinners, craft beer dinners, and Panthers buffets before every home game, for instance, showcase the Club's amazing culinary program and help foster new friendships and connections. You'll also find regularly scheduled events designed to bring the entire family together, such as our extravagant holiday celebrations, family night, and magic night dinners.

Beyond our active event calendar, members find joining one of our Affinity Clubs opens up even more possibilities to get involved and enjoy the Club.

Affinity Clubs

"I've found Charlotte City Club to be my office away from my office. It gives me a professional yet inviting place to work and meet clients. The staff is friendly, respectful, and the service is second to none. I would highly recommend for any business professional. " - Chrys K., Member Since 2014

A popular benefit of membership at Charlotte City Club is our Affinity Clubs, or ‘Clubs within our Club,’ which offer opportunities for members to meet regularly to connect over shared interests. Sample fine wines, taste test new brews, smoke cigars and more! All of our Affinity Clubs have an option to join as a single membership or dual membership.
