Is there such a thing as grand opening season for clubs? Because quite a few places are hosting their grand openings this weekend. A good pick this weekend is, though ... no forecast for snow!

• Butter: The N.C. Music Factory's latest nightlife addition, valued at 8,300 square feet. Having been open for a while, this weekend is Butter's grand opening weekend. Word has it that Nicky Hilton will be stopping through tonight and the Black Eyed Peas will come through tomorrow night after their concert. According to a recent article in the Charlotte Observer, cover is $10 and "certain types of people aren't welcome," whatever that means.

• Closet: It's hard to picture the Elizabeth neighborhood with a "high energy dance club," but so be it. Tonight is their grand opening party, featuring international recording artist Amber, performing her top dance club hits including “This is Your Night”, “Sexual”, “One More Night”, “Above the Clouds”, and many more. Closet caters to a diverse crowd including the GLBT community.

Tonight's the first night of their revival, so head out to support the original owners in their endeavor to bring back this place. LKNFun.com says the "whole interior of the bar has been upfitted and the layout is awesome." The band tonight is Greensboro's Fair Warning.

OK, reality TV addicts ... first the bad news. Mike "The Situation" – star of the MTV's hit show “Jersey Shore” — who was originally scheduled to make an appearance at Suite tomorrow night, is NOT coming. Awww ... I know you're disapointed.
But the good news is that his appearance has been rescheduled to next week.
Here's the press release:
A Suite Situation Moved to February 10Charlotte, NC (February 2, 2010) – Due to obligations from MTV, The Situation – star of the network’s hit show “Jersey Shore” – will be unable to appear as scheduled at Suite Wednesday night, February 3. Have no fear “Jersey Shore” junkies, Suite and The Situation already have an even bigger party planned next week – Wednesday night, February 10.
Just last week MTV officially announced that “Jersey Shore” will return, with the original cast, for a second season this summer. On the heels of this announcement, The Situation will now be appearing on the “The Ellen Degeneres Show” as well as “The Jay Leno Show” Wednesday, February 3.
From the red carpet at the Grammy Awards, to Ellen and Jay Leno all the way back to the Queen City – The Situation will be ready to celebrate in style next Wednesday, February 10 at Suite.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but this "Situation" was beyond our control.

I guess nightlife proprietors will do pretty much anything they can to get people in the door. But I ain't hating.

Southend-ers ... there's a new nightspot to check out — yes, On The Roxx is FINALLY open. Head out that way (the corner of South Boulevard and Park Avenue) Friday night to check out DJ R Wonz — and support the newbie on the block.
For some reason, the title makes me think of that country song, "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off."
Anyway.
Word on the street is that there's a new country party bar coming into the old Buckwild location in University in early February — City Limits Saloon. You can expect the music to be a mix between new country, rock, top 20 and traditional singalong country all night — an edgier place that focuses on the party aspect of country music. They hope to target the Concord, Harrisburg, Lake Norman, Salisbury and University areas.
Along with its bold cuisine and stylish, contemporary atmosphere, Vida will feature an eye-catching tequila bar stocked with over 100 unique and high-end varieties for guests’ sipping and shooting pleasure. Vida’s wide array of tequila paves the way for its handcrafted margaritas, including the soon-to-be-legendary “Skinny Margaritas,” a healthier option comprised of organic, all-natural ingredients made from scratch each day."
A partying country bar in the University area and a tequila bar in Uptown — two things this city has seriously been lacking.
