is a rare sight in the wilderness. They're a very shy animal, much like the Eastern, Striped Back Snipe. If you've ever been on a Snipe Hunt or a Wild Goose Chase, you'll definitely know what I mean. How the species arose is a mystery to modern science. Everyone knows a rabbit isn't tall enough to mount an Antelope and an Antelope, in rut, would likely kill a rabbit. It is theorized that in ancient times, a species of tiny antelope roamed North America and that the cross breeding took place at that time. Where ever the truth may lie, you will find Jackalopes roaming the darker places of the forest, or Charlotte North Carolina, where ever you happen to be looking for good food and drinks. Strangely, I found no Jackalopes at Jackalope's. They must have been hiding. The pict to the left is from a Jackalope Ranch owned by a friend of mine in Wyoming. |

Jackalopes is a great place for a quiet dinner, a quick drink, or an evening out. There is outside dining when the weather is right, which in Charlotte North Carolina is most of the time. There is a well appointed dining room, spots for intimate dining and a gorgeous wood bar where you can sit to watch your favorite team blow away the opposition. If you want more action than that, you can retire to the game room where there numerous opportunities to exercise your imagination and your competitive nature by trouncing a companion at one of these games. |
Jackalopes found it necessary to post ground rules for the behavior of its guests. Prohibiting Fakirs and Rogues I can understand, but I wonder what they have against Tinkers. When one gets holes in one's pots, one needs a Tinker to insert a dam. On the other hand, the rate for a night's lodging is quite reasonable at one shilling. I don't think there is any place where I could stable my horse for four pence. When I saw this, I wished I had stayed here instead of the Quality Inn where a bed cost me about fifty gold sovereigns. Live and learn! |

Jackalope's bar was nearly full, when I was there, and people often don't like finding images of themselves on the internet with a glass of beer in their hand. So, we skipped photographing the bar. Maybe Jackalopes will send us a picture of it when no one is present who wants to remain anonymous. The original head bar tender, Elmer F. MacJackalope, was so dedicated to this place that when he passed away, they had him stuffed so he can still be here. That's him, above, one frame to the right. |

Jackalope's is very dedicated to sports lovers and to good times. "NFL for the Soul" is a teaser in that direction. The game room can't be beat! If you look carefully, you will find that they even have indoor bicycle parking. This might be a good place for Eats Waller to visit. They have even made a game out of eating. If you order their bucket of chili and eat it within forty five minutes, you get a t-shirt, a list.ing on the wall of fame-shame and the chili is on the house! |
Jackalope's events calendar is loaded. There is Trivia on Tuesday nights, Karaoke, Thursday, Friday and Saturday beginning at 10:30 P.M. The Birthday Club provides a free meal on your birthday. And if you want to schedule a special party, like for the Middle Finger Salute on October 25, you can do that too. We're not sure yet, what Jackalope's has in mind for the Single Digit Salute celebration, but I'm sure we'll find out soon. The best part of Jackalope's is the menu. Most menus we plot out here, but Jackalope's formatting is better than ours so |
