Nov. 7. By Dave Vieser. Port City Club, the well-known lakeside eatery opened by Nick Lyssikatos 10 years ago, is reopening as Lake House Wine Bar & Grill.

Crews were busy changing signs on Wednesday afternoon while interior renovations continued.

Port City soon became a fixture in the Lake Norman dining scene after it opened in 2013.

Background

The 13,500 square foot space was and still is one of the largest restaurants in Mecklenburg County.

It was formerly the home of Midtown Sundries and Latitude 36, both of which closed.

Its size is overwhelming to most restaurateurs: It had sat empty and forlorn for a year before Lyssikatos opened Port City.

In April 2023, celebrity chef David Burke took over the day-to-day operations at Port City, while Lyssikatos concentrated on his other restaurant, Brickhouse Tavern in Davidson.

18665 Harborside. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with small bites, steak, seafood, house-made pasta, desserts
