The Offline app has a map feature that helps you decide where you’d like to eat based on your location.

If you love sampling local restaurants (guilty) and wouldn’t say no to money off your tab (guilty again), Offline is for you.

The premier restaurant club provides members with two credits each month to redeem at locally owned Charlotte restaurants with at least a 4+ star rating. Current offers include:

  • $20 to spend at The Waterman Fish Bar
  • $10 to spend at Cilantro Noodle
  • $10 to spend at The Giddy Goat Coffee Roasters

Try your first month for free with code OFFLINE6AM.
