Prohibition Alternative


So it’s Thursday night, and where is everyone headed? Prohibition. Week after week it’s the same place, with the same people and same drama. If you’re anything like me you are probably tired of the ‘proho’ scene and looking for a new place to go out with your friends. And for you, I would like to share one of my favorite “alternative night-life” spots- Common Market, located in ‘South End’ Charlotte. Common Market is exactly what it sounds like- it’s a market! One built for the wine-os, the beer connoisseur, and the collectors of hipster trinkets, like mustache stickers or bacon lip balm. And if they weren’t unique enough already, the lady’s room is marked with a giant “XX” while the men’s room has “XY”. For those that are of the drinking age, the bar has local brews on tap everyday along with a few of the bartender’s favorites and the enormous wall of beer has every craft beer you can imagine.

After purchase, sip on your drink of choice and experience the Common Market ambiance outside on the patio beneath the colorfully stung lights in the comforting trees above. For those of you that still await the big 21st birthday, Common market is great during the day. The patio is lively with groups of friends catching up, to professionals brainstorming their next creative project; all while they snack on a delicious lunch form the common market deli made with love and boars head meat.

All in all, Common Market is a one of the many great gems of the Queens City. Whether you are looking for a new lunch spot, or alternative nightlight, it’s a great place to check out.

yours truly,

Adair Kennedy
