A staple of the Plaza Midwood community. Ask around where to get a cheap beer. The answer will be CM. Ask around where to get a craft beer. The answer will be CM. Where to try a nice wine flight. The answer once again CM. Common Market is not fancy but they will surprise you with their many options.
Food is another bonus. You can get a healthy lunch no issue here and it will be very tasty. They've got snacks if you don't have time and don't forget the beer/wine to go if you are having a little get together at a house.
CM is unique. It can be dirty but that's expected at a dive like this. The bathrooms show tons of character. They don't please everyone but that's the way it goes most time. Expect large crowds in the night times and realize they will be hipster and they will be weird. This place puts Charlotte on the map and whether it's day or night you should give it a shot.
