Tuesday Nights at Arpa

I went to Arpa tonight for seriously some of the best deals in Charlotte. On Tuesdays, select tapas and appetizers are half off. Incredible, right? Well, add to that $10 large pitchers of Sangria (that's about $2 a glass), plus deals on Bud Select, Corona, and Corona Light. We had a fabulous time, and it's so fun to share the Tapas with the table, such a communal, sharing feel. It's like an event that is all about the food, and food is good. My very favorite is the croquettes, yummy ham and shrimp all on a little fried bit of yumminess. Pair that with a delicious glass of Sangria and some fun conversation, and, really what more do you need?

Challenge day 19- Arpa Tuesday Night

Today, Challenge Day 19, I went with some friends to Arpa for, seriously, the best deal in Charlotte. On Tuesdays at Arpa, pitchers of Sangria are $10 and Tapas are 1/2 off. For the 3 of us, no joke, our bill was $28! I'll tell you all of the deliciousness that we ate. We had: Hummus and Pita, Tzatziki & Pita, Chicken Souvlaki, yummy mushrooms, and Chicken and Manchego Croquettes. Really? So good! That $10 pitcher of Sangria gave us 4 glasses, and a glass of Sangria is usually $6 there. Plus, the added bonus of the pitcher of Sangria is all of the wine-soaked fruit in the bottom. It was so good, my favorite was the apples. Yes, we were super classy and were sticking our forks in the pitcher to get the fruit out. I'm pretty sure that's not OK, but we were doing it anyway. Sometimes, you just have to go for it.

Challenge Day 6- Arpa

Day six of the challenge was a ton of fun. I went to Arpa in uptown Charlotte with some girlfriends. The first Wednesday of every month Arpa offers 6 wine tastings and 6 tapas tastings for $12. It was an amazing deal and we had an amazing time. I especially liked that it made me try new foods and wines that I wouldn’t normally try on your own, and the best thing yet is that the tapas and wines are different each month. I very much enjoyed the watermelon gelee and the crab salad. The sommelier who brought us the wine was super educated and super entertaining and nice. Plus, the wines are all available for purchase and at cheap prices too. The most expensive one was $19/bottle and the least expensive one was $9/bottle, pretty cheap in the wine world. All in all, seriously, we had a great time. Check it out, check it out, check it out! I’ll be there the first Wednesday of September, I guarantee it. Also did I mention the great beer specials every Wednesday night? Michelob Ultra and Michelob Ultra Amber are $2 each. Mich Ultra Amber is one of my favorite beers. 

Oh, and if you’re not feeling Wednesday night at Arpa, check it out on a Monday. All flatbreads are half price and all draft beers are $2 each. Can’t get enough of those tapas!
