"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
"A Charlotte creative campus with an open-kitchen setup that hosts pop-up events, providing a space where chefs can work side by side; one recent pop-up there featured collaborative frying and plating of catfish for foil-lined takeout boxes and highlighted the venue’s hands-on, communal atmosphere." - Nikki Miller-Ka
"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
"A large creative and events campus in Charlotte that houses the Colliers' restaurant and will host the Black Food & Wine Festival from October 22–24.
