I arrived in Charlotte transporting a FEDEX trailer enroute to Atlanta. The Pilot Truck stop, albeit small, is only a short uber ride to downtown. Since I got in late, I was glad to find a pub that was open late. Cowbell Burger and Whiskey Bar - it was like walking into a time warp. The decor is 60s-80s.
