History of The Drum

Originally opened in 1948, The Drum quickly became one of Charlotte’s most beloved neighborhood gathering places. Named for its distinctive round, drum-shaped design, the restaurant began as a modest eatery with a lunch counter, a handful of booths, and car-hop service. Today, its iconic drum silhouette remains a cherished landmark and enduring symbol of Dilworth’s rich history reborn as an event venue in 2025.
