For the record (and on the record): Latorre’s didn’t close… they just relocated, according to manager Adam Corkhill.
Latorre’s is now on the top level of HOM where Play was. And they’re already open … and they remain open until 2:30 a.m. because it’s a nightclub now and no longer a restaurant.
Latorre’s is Charlotte’s original Latin nightclub – and now there are so many of them between Tres Pesos, 1900 Mexican Grille and Tequila Bar, and all the ones up and down Tryon Street. But there’s only one Uptown – Latorre’s. They only serve salsa — without the chips — but it’s still just as, if not more, spicy.
Every Friday, they offer free salsa lessons with a professional instructor starting at 9 p.m. And if you’re hungry you can go to their sister restaurant to get your food fix … which is currently having a special where you 3 course meal for two people for $59.99.
