| - Tired of playing the chain game when it comes to Charlotte restaurants and pubs? Step outside of your burger box and $9.99 bottle of grocery store wine, and get yourself into The Common Market on S. Tryon Street!
Prior to meeting up with a fellow Yelper, I will admit I was a Common Market virgin. But, after perusing the isles of endless wines, wandering past the daily deli specials, and settling into the charming common area I gladly handed over my CM V-card. Looking back it's hard to believe that I have overlooked such a great place for so long. The Common Market is a "you want it, they got it" kind of store. They've effortlessly crossed off everything on my list, I bet they'd do the same to yours.
THE LIST:
Food: Hungry for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Swing by the deli for some fresh daily specials. Or make your way towards the front of the store to indulge in a junk food frenzy, and old school pop shop filled with nearly every soda you could possibly imagine.
Spirits: Racks on top of racks, and stacks on top of stacks of wine?! What could be more fine?! Well, let me tell you. The Common Market has wine on racks and beer on tap. So feel free to grab a few friends and enjoy your drink of choice at one of The Common Market community events. The more the merrier!
Atmosphere: The perfect mid-day get away. Quaint, Cozy and Contemporary with just a hint of artistic expression The Common Market certainly captivates the eye of its clientele. Customers are sure to enjoy the comfort of CM's eclectic decor while dining in the perfectly mismatched common area, surrounded by multicolored walls and various works of art. I can best describe the interior design of The Common Market as a seamless blend of "a little bit of old and a little bit of new."
The staff here generously gives all of their clientele a refreshing dose of southern hospitality. On my first visit to CM I did not touch one door as I made my way into the market. A kind male customer and an amicable CM staff member thoughtfully opened both doors for me. I was amazed! Chivalry isn't dead; it's alive and kickin at The Common Market. I was also bid "good morning" by both of these men and the kind woman working behind the register. Such considerate and genuine people I'd encountered on my visit. The kindness must be contagious because as I left CM I was all smiles. Their customer service alone could keep me coming back for more.
So it's safe to say if you're looking for a niche, to fix your itch to change up your pace, choose The Common Market, and while you're there have a taste.
;)
Happy Yelping
