BLT Steak, located in the Ritz-Carlton Uptown, introduced their $5 bar menu a few weeks ago. You can get $5 small plates at the bar every day from 5 pm to 7 pm. Drinks are pricier than other bars in Charlotte ($5 Bud Light, $7 Stella Artois, $12 martinis, $22 whiskeys), but $5 food makes up for that. So what can you get for $5? Here’s a look at the bar scene and food.
The sweet potato fries dish with rosemary and blue cheese was probably the unanimous favorite among my fellow bar diners. Try the popovers (that bread/muffin looking thing in the pic). It’s not on the menu, but they’ll give it to you. Slather it with butter, eat, repeat.
