Charlotte, NC Recommendations

Heading to Charlotte, NC for a few days for work in November. I'll be staying near the convention center. I won't have much time to explore too far away (work and all...), but willing to hop in an uber for a short drive.
Any food and entertainment recommendations?

Cowbell Burger is about a 10-minute walk away for a casual meal. Rooster's Kitchen is a nice dinner.
I'm not even big into Nascar at all, but the HOF is worth going to (but better to to take kids to for the simulated racing).

Its about 15-20 minutes from downtown but the Whitewater Center is a fun place to hang out if the weather is nice. Closer to downtown, Optimist Hall is a cool food hall with a ton of different variety if you're a foodie.

Uptown used to be the nightlife destination in Charlotte but these days it tends to empty out after happy hour unless there is a sporting event or major concert going on.
South End is adjacent to Uptown across a bridge and is walking distance from the Convention Center. It has become the most popular neighborhood for restaurants and night life. Charlotte Beer Garden, Monday Night Brewing, Vinyl, and Tyber Creek are some of my favorite spots. Tavern on the Tracks is a dive but used to be a good time.
Plaza Midwood and NoDa are both quick Uber rides away. They both have historically been known as the artsy hipster neighborhoods but have become pretty gentrified over the years. Worksman's Friend and Whiskey Warehouse are both good places in Plaza. Workman's is a solid Irish Pub and Whiskey Warehouse has a good rooftop bar. In NoDa, Jack Beagles is a neighborhood pub that does live music on weekends and has solid bar food. Growlers, McHales, and the Ugly are all chill. Haberdish has good food. Sanctuary is a good dive.
I'm realizing now that I've given more bar recs than restaurants but if you let me know what type of food you like I can send some more food oriented recs.

Thanks! Bar recs are good and appreciated! As for any food spots, I'm all in for someone's top 5. It doesn't matter what type of food it is, I'll try it.

Lang Van. Amazing Vietnamese cuisine. Hit it during weekday or non-peak hours.

uber to Plaza Midwood and grab a meal at Calle Sol. It's so damn good and the vibe is great. There's also several places around there to drink and hang before/after.
