Food & Beverage
- Charlotte Bobcats Arena has partnered with industry-leading Levy Restaurants to develop all of its food and beverage offerings for general concessions, suite and fine dining areas. Unique in its approach, the Bobcats organization asked the consumer what he or she wanted before developing its food and beverage program. The result is an incredibly diverse menu with something for everyone; it adds unexpected items to fan favorites at general concessions such as a Chicken Caesar Wrap and a Stacked Chicken Salad, and includes a kid’s menu that provides a complete meal and drink in smaller portions.
