"Canteen can be a bit dead when there’s not an event happening at Camp North End, the mixed-use complex that the bar’s a part of. But that makes it ideal for a private event. Canteen serves craft beers, mimosas, sake, sangrias, wines, seltzers, and non-alcoholic drinks—but no hard liquor—in a vibrant space with plenty of easy-to-rearrange lounge seating. The colorful murals and lush tropical plants also make great photo backdrops. Order the signature frozen colada, made with coconut and pineapple juices and prosecco." - Tess Allen
"Charlotte's Camp North End is a 76-acre multi-use space with public art, food stalls, shops, offices and more in a former car factory and military depot. It's a big complex, but there's always somewhere to hang out for a bit (quite literally–you can stretch out in a hammock if that cafe table and chairs doesn't suit your needs). It's all about walking around, soaking up the cool, creative vibe—and eating." - Nancy DePalma
"Finish your day with a look at how Charlotte has been revitalizing its old industrial spaces. Camp North End—the site of a 1924 Ford factory and Cold War–era missile plant—is a steampunk dream."
A Wednesday evening market that blends farms, ranchers, and food artisans with demos and music. Noted by county and city guides for its Double Bucks program, it’s a midweek favorite in the creative Camp North End campus.
