Bubble Charlotte set to open at EpiCentre

Bubble Charlotte, which will serve "chef-driven small plates, crafted for a mature palate," along with cocktails, spirits and wines (especially sparklers), is slated to open mid-May at the EpiCentre. The partnership includes Charlotte native Brad Beltrondo, who ran SUITE (a bottle-service nightclub in Charlotte), Cal Fortis (whose background is in design and entertainment concepts and who designed the place in a way that "integrates Miami style with Uptown elegance," according to the press release) and Bourke Floyd, whose experience ranges from GM at a Los Angeles nightspot to work in San Diego's entertainment district.
