We first told you about Drift in February of this year in this post. We detailed the two story space that will have a modern farmhouse style featuring craft beer and a selection of over 1,000 bottles of wine. The upstairs will be an event space available to reserve for private parties and corporate events.

Drift is brought to you by the owners of Pump House in Rock Hill and Napa at Kingsley in Fort Mill. This dinner with a view will be great for local residents, but will also be a draw for anyone in the Charlotte area with only a 30 minute drive to be back Uptown.

Drift will seat 280 people and has an indoor/outdoor dining experience due to glass walls that can be moved out of the way to take advantage of east-facing waterfront views. In inclement weather, you can watch a storm roll in through the glass wall, but be snug inside.

Drift is located in the McLean development close to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. For directions, the address is 315 Lanyard Lane, Belmont, NC 28012. Initial hours will be M-Th 4pm-10pm, Fri-Sat 4pm-11pm, and 3pm-9pm on Sunday. As the restaurant is more established they may begin brunch on the weekends and start lunch service during the week.

Lake Wylie is getting a brand new, 73,500 square foot YMCA near Crowder’s Creek Elementary School that will be opening in mid October. The $17.8 million Clover School District Community YMCA is one of five projects that comprise a $99 million Clover School District construction plan.

The facility will feature a stunning pool and fitness center that will be a part of what will possibly be considered one of the nicest Y’s in the country. In addition to two indoor pools, there will also be a 50-meter Olympic sized outdoor pool, two racquetball courts, a basketball gym with a second-level walking track, several weightlifting rooms and plenty of exercise space, as well as a multi-purpose function room.This new facility’s pool will be home to the Clover High School swim team as well as the Kicking With Confidence program that aims to provide swimming lessons to every 4th-grader in the district. After-school care will be offered, as well as plenty of activities for kids and adults alike.

The official ribbon cutting ceremony for the Clover School District Community YMCA will take place from 5 to 7:30 PM on October 12, and community tours are planned for October 13-16 before the official opening of the facility at 5 AM on October 17.
