Hungry after the Beyoncé concert? These Charlotte restaurants stay open late

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is on Aug. 9 at the Bank of America Stadium, and it’s going to stretch late. If you’re in search of a guide for late-night eats after the concert, look no further.

The official start time is 8 p.m., but Beyoncé’s concerts generally start around 8:30-9 p.m. and end between 11-11:30 p.m.

Yes, there will be stadium food options to nosh on, but if you’re not feeling that, don’t worry. Ditch the Cookout trays and McDonald’s nuggets; instead, grab a bite at these local restaurants that stay open late. (And watch the time: If you’re rolling out of the stadium at 11:30 or later, the spots that close at midnight will not be good options — those restaurants are for our friends who like to duck out early to beat the traffic.)

[ANOTHER IDEA: If you don’t wanna eat but you want to keep the party going, check out the bars and nightclubs which will be open after the show.]
