Kitchen + Kocktails Charlotte is the latest venture from Dallas-based Kevin Kelley Concepts. Following his success as an attorney in Dallas, Kevin Kelley spent time living in Paris, the world’s leading culinary destination. He realized how much he missed the food that reminded him of home while overseas. Upon returning to the U.S., developed a new culinary concept. The first Kitchen + Kocktails first opened in Dallas in 2020, followed by Chicago in 2021, and Washington D.C. in 2023.
“We are beyond excited to bring Kitchen + Kocktails to the Queen City,” said Kelley. “I’ve always enjoyed connecting with people I’ve met from Charlotte over the years and am deeply humbled for the opportunity to join the city’s culinary community and deliver America’s greatest comfort food. Get ready!”
