CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Sports fans in Charlotte are about to get a game-changing experience as Blinders, a brand-new sports lounge, prepares to open its doors in South End. Scheduled for a grand opening on Thursday, March 20, at 225 W. Tremont Avenue, this highly anticipated venue promises an electrifying atmosphere, top-notch food and drinks, and a record-breaking screen that will make every game feel larger than life.
Blinders is designed to be more than just a sports bar.

Whether visitors are passionate sports fans or just looking for a lively place to unwind, Blinders guarantees an unforgettable time.
One of the standout features of Blinders is its innovative menu, which takes traditional sports bar food to a whole new level. Guests can enjoy fan favorites like wings, flatbreads, and baked pretzels, but they will also find unique dishes that push the boundaries of game-day cuisine. Signature menu items include barbacoa nachos, tater tot poutine, pizza rolls, funnel cake fries, and banh mi pork belly sliders. The menu is designed to offer a perfect balance of comfort food and elevated flavors, ensuring that every bite is as exciting as the game itself.
The bar at Blinders will be equally impressive, offering a championship-worthy lineup of cocktails, a selection of domestic and local craft beers, and a variety of refreshing mocktails for non-alcoholic options. Guests can enjoy their drinks while watching the action unfold on the massive screen or while socializing in the vibrant lounge setting.
Blinders provides multiple seating options to accommodate different group sizes and preferences. Guests can choose from a 40-foot-long bar, cozy banquettes throughout the space, a spacious outdoor patio, or exclusive box seating. The box seating areas are specifically designed for groups and come with a food and beverage minimum, with costs varying depending on the size of the party. While seating is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, reservations are highly recommended for groups of five or more. Guests can book their tables by visiting the Blinders website or emailing reservations@blindersclt.com.
To celebrate its grand opening and coincide with the excitement of March Madness, Blinders will have extended hours during its opening week.
