Restaurant Scams in Charlotte

Fake Pop-Up Bar Tab Collection

Charlotte's bar scene in Uptown near College Street and Trade Street, and in Plaza Midwood along Central Avenue, has seen incidents where individuals collecting tabs for table service or bottle service in crowded venues process charges twice or add unrequested items. During NBA Hornets game nights and concert events at the Spectrum Center on East Trade Street, the volume and speed of transactions makes over-charging easier to miss.
